So my first week in the field has been no stop amazing!!!! I'm seriously exhausted by the end of the day, but I am extremely happy!!! It is weird to testify and teach real people in espanol! But my trainer is so great, and helps me through the lessons!!!
We taught a 90 year old this week, he is a mean atheist. But his wife is so incredibly sweet! I can't wait to teach them again!!!
We ate dinner this week with a Cordoba!!!! She said that is the proper way to say my last name.... Awk.
Everyone in the Spanish branch gawks at me when I attempt to speak spanish. It is hilarious, but I really have improved in these few days! Being embarrassed will do that to you apparently.
I love love love the people here. I love Spanish. I love this Gospel. I love this area. Pretty much I never want to leave!
There are so many mountains here, it's crazy!!! We are totally going to climb one, before the transfer is over!!!!
This week I've been studying the lessons, more than just reading in the Book of Mormon. I have learned so much by planning and teaching!!! I encourage y'all to read about the Restoration, and pray about it. I know that this is the true restored Gospel on the earth today! Our Father in Heaven loves us.
On the plane Hermana Jaedike and I talked with a lady for entire 2:45 plane ride. (Shout out to Tiffany Whitney, who may be a new Facebook friend!!!!) It was amazing!!!! I love talking to people, and feeling the spirit prompt me to say certain things, and to bare testimony even if I feel like it would be awkward. I know that as you follow the promptings of the spirit, you will see miracles, and you will speak the words that Heavenly Father wants you to say!!!!
I love my mission. I have so much appreciation for the people here, and for all the amazing member work that they do. We have a huge area to cover, and we are the only two how speak Spanish, which is quite intimidating!!!! I am so excited to bring all these people to the knowledge of our Savior Jesus Christ!!!
I love you all!!! Choose the right, remember who you are, and try to represent what you believe!!! Others will learn from your ejemplo!!!

I forgot there really aren't mountains in Texas (but I love the green hills)! When my cousin from Austin visited me in Arizona, she kept freaking out about all the mountains surrounding us!
