Happy Valentines Day

"So this week went by so fast it's crazy!!! So much happened and I have a lot to tell you.

So Tuesday morning I woke up and my leg hurt really bad. I took off my covers and saw a visible huge bump on the back of my calf. I jumped out of bed and the second I put pressure on it, I collapsed! At first I was thinking I had some sort of disease or something. Then I started to rub it and realized it was a huge knot. Then I worked it out for a while but when I walk every once in a while I get the pain again.

So the family that we are teaching let us do some service for them. Guess what we did. We ¨cut the grass¨ I got a blister in my hand to prove that I worked hard that day. Also they wanted me to pray in English after a lesson and I couldn't do it. It was the hardest thing in the world for me. It was probably the slowest prayer that I have ever said, including when we first started in Spanish.

So I spoke again in church yesterday, Not very often my eye!! But it went well. It was a lot easier for me and I think the congregation understood it. The topic was a bit easier though so that did help. Also we started a class for English. It was fun. The people there enjoyed it and I think it went well. We played a few games I learned in the MTC to help me learn and we will continue to have the class once a week.

The food is starting to actually taste good and the soda doesn't make me feel sick anymore. I just don't like it burning down my throat. I try to avoid it as much as possible.

Well that's all that's going on here in Coelemu, hope everything in the states is good to. Love and miss you all.
