My Dearest Family and Friends,
This week has been pretty good! I finally feel
like I´m starting to actually learn the language. It´s very broken Spanish, but
I can now teach a lesson without notes. It feels so good. I can also understand
pretty well as long as the person talking to me is speaking slowly, and in very
simple terms.
During the week we mostly study. We do have class
every morning and night and then during the day we have two investigators that
we are teaching. They are just teachers who are acting as investigators but it
is good practice. I'm still very nervous teaching but I seem to have opened up
a lot more. It´s definitely a huge adjustment to be here.
My district and I normally play volleyball
everyday for gym. It’s a ton of fun but I am not that good at it. I actually
have two big bruises, one on each hand, from playing. I finally however learned
how to actually serve the ball. It took two weeks but I got it! Before I would
just throw the ball over. Everyone told me I "graduated" from
volleyball once I got it over. It’s just nice to have a break from studying
everyday and to just laugh. It’s a lot of fun.
Other than that there isn´t much to report but I
would love to hear from all of you! I miss each and every one of you so much!
This is honestly so hard but I know in the end it will be worth it. I love you
all!!!
Love, Hermana Gilchrist
