Hey!
I have time to write!
Ok, I was so wrong about what my new area was
going to be like. I thought I wanted to
stay in the city my whole mission but after coming here I never want to leave. It is honestly one of the most beautiful
places I have ever seen! We live on the
top of this mountain with flowers all over the place. Our apartment is this cute little two story
house. There is a huge garden and then
there are 5 little houses that surround it.
Three of the 5 houses have church members living in them. There are grocery stores, a bank, a giant
market right in the middle where they sell all kinds of food and fruit. I was thinking that my area was going to be
really different but it is so cute. It
reminds me a little of Vancouver except all the houses are small and super
colorful. There are cobble stone roads. The only thing is everything is either steep
uphill or steep downhill.
I think my Spanish is
going to get pretty good this change because my companion doesn’t speak a word
of English. My last companion didn’t
speak that much but she pretty much always understood what I was saying. If I spoke English to her when I didn’t
understand something, she could figure it out.
I wish I could
describe just how cute this place is. I don’t
think I will have to worry about safety very much because there is a police
station just down the road. The bus ride
wasn’t bad at all because I didn’t go to bed until 1am. I had to pack all my things and then we
had to wake up at 4:30 to make it to the bus station. So I just slept the entire 4 hour bus ride.
My companion is super
nice though. She has only been a member
for 2 years and has been on her mission for one year. So she is super excited about sharing the
gospel because she joined the church just from a missionary street contacting
her. She is from Oaxaca, Mexico. I am her first American companion. She said before I got there she was super
nervous that I wouldn’t be able to speak any Spanish but she says my Spanish is
very good. So I think that is a good
sign :)
Anyway I hope you
guys have a great week and keep listening to the Hermanas in your ward haha!!! Oh and I ate lizard tacos today without
knowing it...that’s what happens when you don’t understand what the person is
asking you. My companion thought it was
so funny though when she saw my face while I was eating them :)
les amo,
Hermana Jones
