I hope you all had such a great week!
Well something fun that happened this week was on Tuesday my stomach started hurting and I would make frequent trips to the bathroom haha. So that took me out for a few days. Luckily all the members here are so awesome and they took so much care of me and so now I'm all good!
A pretty cool experience with that though is one of the members is a doctor that actually grew up in Utah so she helped me out a ton and gave me some medicine. After she finished helping me out she asked if I could give her a blessing because she had a really rough day at work. To tell you the truth, giving that blessing made me feel so much better! I know it is because when we are focused only on ourselves and feeling bad for ourselves it is hard to feel joy. But when we serve others so much joy can enter our lives! How incredible, right?😄
Since I was pretty dead for a few days we didn't do very much missionary work which was a bummer, but it helped me realize how much I love missionary work! Once I started feeling better it felt so good to teach again, I love being a missionary!
OK so I have really been loving Spanish lately! It is so much fun that I can be myself and make friends. BUT there has been this one subject of Spanish that has been so confusing for me BUT POR FIN I figured it out and it clicked. It was actually just because I hadn't really tried studying it that hard before because as many of you may know I'm not the best studier in the world but I'm getting a lot better at it now haha!
A funny story that happened this week is that my companion got bit by an iguana! OK that sounds bad it wouldn't be funny if he got hurt but it just bit his shoe hahaha. We took a picture with it and right after it came at us and bit his shoe. It was pretty terrifying for a second not gonna lie.
We've been playing soccer every pday for the past couple of weeks and I'm still pretty bad but maybe i'll be better by the end of my mission.
Well to finish I would like to extend an invitation! I want to invite you to find the things in your life that bring you true joy, and then to do those things more often! I promise you will have so much more light and happiness in your life! If you want help finding what brings you joy in your life here is a quote from President Nelson, "The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our life and everything to do with the purpose of our life."
Love you all!
