half way there

first of all thanks for the package mom! it rocked, the cookies are still around and a little dry-ing out, but still tastey. i would like to say that i ate them all right when i opened it, but i couldnt. almost everytime we eat here i always feel way full and gross after, not that the food isnt good but i just eat too much, pretty sure im gonna get fat. but thats ok, youl still love me right :)

so mom wants to know about everything i do here, its pretty simple, we get up at 6.30 breakfast at 7 then either class or study time till lunch, then class or study time till dinner, then class or study time till sleep. yep i eat and sit alot :) tuesday is my prep day, we get to go to the temple and then have a devotional after, they are always awesome. friday mornings we have a service thing, like wash windows, for gym we usually play volly ball, either inside or out. ooo i met a trainer who knows dave, dont remember his name but he was from england and has a sweet accent. he asked how dave was doing.
we have 2 teachers, brother McCoy and brother Jackson. they are both amazing and know what we need. brother McCoy got off his mission 3 months ago so he still gets all excited and has fun stories. we walk around everyday and try to contact/ bare testimony in spanish its fun, kinda, it helps anyway.

we mainly prepare for our TRC thing, which is on wednesdays, we teach "investigators" they are random people who volenteer, but we have to do something different each time, and we are learning how to teach to their needs, which is pretty important seeing how they are the reason we are there in the first place. next week we will have to teach the first lesson in spanish, so for we have been teaching in english. this week we need to know the names of stuff, so we have postet notes all over our room labeling stuff in spanish, celing is el techo :)

we are getting 5 new sisters in our zone tomorrow, i am excited to help them, it will be fun to have more sisters, and be there for them, to show them the ropes

so yesterday all of us missionaries going to argentina ( there was aout 80 of us) sis guymon says more, met with the argentine counsul, it was for our visas but they he answered questions for us about argentina. what i got from it was that the people are sarcastic, like to tease, are welcoming, proud of what they have, have no possive boundries and are very socail and laid back, all the time in the world. awesome! im excited to teach them. they sound like my kind of people.

im been kinda bad about taking pictures but im working on it and il send some soon, but while your waiting, you should send some to mee!!! please.

hey guess what?! my birthday is in 11 days :) and we dont get mail in the afternoon saturdays. im just sayin....

so remember the whole be obediant and you will be blessed? ya it works :) we were having come companion issues, you know how it is. nothing big just difference of personalities, but last week was really good for us, and we were able to figure out what we could all do better and we did. so then every talk we heard was about being unified of letting go of our grudges and focusing on what we need to do to change our hearts, pretty much everything we needed to hear was thrown at us, and now we are so much better. we are unified in our purpose and why we teach and we can feel the spirit and feel joy. someone told me that you know that you are doing whats right when you feel joy, simple enough but one of those things you dont think about.

this week its all about captain moroni, he is amazing, my favorite is alma 51. he has no doubts, all trust in the lord and no fear of doing what needs to be done. he is my example. i love the Lord and i love this Gospel. have a great week and i hope i answered all your questions.

love hermana hanson!
