ok so this week was awesome! so the spanish is coming along i still
don't know very much but its fun learing my comps and i play a game
every day called la nativa (the native) and we draw to see who the
native is but its all secret so we all try to convince eachother that we
are the native that day by speaking as much spanish as possible:) its
fun. but our teacher told us that we all sound like cavewomen... hahah
proud to be a caveman yo. represent. we to should eat today. we to speak
with our teacher. thats what we sound like a guess haha:) he told us
that on saturday
and on sundays we all have to write a talk for sacrament meeting
(sacrament meeting is all in spanish so we have to write our talks in
espanol) and we wont know who is going to be speaking till we are
sitting in the building and our pres announces it over the pulpit! so saturday night we prepare our talks for the next day and then sunday
comes and guess what our branch pres tells us?!?! THAT OUR MISSION
PRESIDENT IS GOING TO BE COMING TO SACRAMENTMEETING WITH US!!! because
we are getting a new pres in july all the new mission presidents and
their wives come to the MTC for training so we got to meet them and talk
with them! anyways back to sacrament it was a really great day getting
to meet them and let me tell you that my mission pres wife is what i
imagine alisha harris would be like if she was from argentina!! exactly
the same person, except a different language so thats nice:) i love them
both already and the mission president told me how to say: im hungry.
so i already like him:) yo tengo hambre .... i think thats how you
spell it.
anways so after we meet them and are talking in
spanglish because they know a little english and we know a little
spanish but lets be real here we were basically just playing charades.
We bring them to sacrament meeting with just our zone right so theres
supposed to be the mission branch presidency and the like 12 people that
are in our zone... but i walk into the room and there are about 6 new
mission presidents and their wives in that room!!?? i guess its cause
they knew that my zone is the most celestial thats why they came to
ours:) anyways so we have real life pros at espanol in the room so im
nervous! whos going to be giving the talks?! we sit down and start and
guess who my branch pres chooses to talk for sacrament meeting.. ME!! i
knew it was coming tho the holy ghost prepared me so i wouldn't just die
of nervousness so that was good. So i get up there and i talk about the
holy ghost all in spanish! and it looked like everyone understood me:) i
even made them all laugh because my spanish is just that good! (not)
they laughed at how i didn't know the word for quite so i said it in
english haha. But i feel like i did well and all the mission presidents
and their wives told me that i did a great job and that my spanish is
good:) but i bet i sounded like a caveman and they are just too nice to
say that:)
the we had lunch with our mission pres and his wife
and that was so fun our little spanglish/ cherades conversation was
priceless and i love them both so much!! it will be nice when we get off
the plane in argentina and we have already met our presidents:) tender
mercy.
