Guess what?? I can now understand Spanish!  When you hear people talking in Spanish think in your head, “My daughter can understand that”.  It’s a miracle!!  I feel like this week something clicked and everything is making a lot more sense.  I still have troubles getting my thoughts out.... but I can talk to people on the phone (which I will say is basically a different dialect of Spanish trying to figure out what they are saying on the phone)!!!  You could say I am a pretty happy camper.

Tiles for a bench for the park across from the church. We will have to visit it someday!

I am really working hard out here! Hermana Skidmore and I are working well together, we are really similar and we have been skipping a lot of our dinner times to keep doing the work and I don't even mind because it is really fun to be a missionary!  Lots of things happen, but you know that God is working, and I have been a lot more positive! I am out of the “I am new at this and have no idea what’s going on” stage :) You could say I am a pretty happy fisher.

How is having a new cat in the house haha?  He is seriously adorable.  Is it loving mom? I feel weird at night sometimes because I want to pray that this little cat will just love mom haha.  Heavenly Father probably gets a kick out of that. 

I just want to say sorry. I was super stressed out last week! I really am doing awesome and the Spanish is coming along and I miss you guys but I am working on only missing you guys a little and focusing on other people while I am out here.  I am loving it here and I think I am finally getting the hang of things.  Hermana Skidmore is teaching me so much and says that I have been helping her out a lot lately which is good as she is super busy! She is a sister training leader so she has a lot to do.

P-days stress me out because there is a lot to do and a lot I want to say but then there are back stories and intricate details and I don't know what to tell you so I end up telling you about cool food I've eaten and then I think of Skyler (HAHA) and try to think of spiritual things etc.  Please keep emailing me your little updates and I will respond the best I can! 

That is so cool you get to drive a fork lift.  Be careful! 

You are awesome possum.

Love your hija,
