Week 4- What's the outside world even like?

Greetings and salutations from my home to yours.
I wish I had some exciting story to tell you, but unless you want to hear about how Elder Gregory thought he was muted while he was singing "There is sunshine in my soul today" at the top of his lungs in spanish, I got nothing. 
I'm learning mucho spanish, today at the Bishop's storehouse I was able to answer and understand two phone calls in spanish!! (pretty big accomplishment in my book) My companions and I also had our first TRC in spanish (we taught a native speaker a lesson in spanish) and it actually went really well! Gift of tongues is real, y'all. 
ALSO I have discovered my new favorite scripture, it is Isaiah 43:2 and applies to almost everything and I think I've used it in every lesson since discovering it.
For those of you too lazy to look it up, it says: When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Have a good week everyone!! 

Pictures:

3) My internet went out so I froze during a group practice and the Elders thought it would be funny to do this.

Wings of lightning....

Image
I finally took pictures this week so I have something to show you guys!  This week was insane and probably one of the best weeks of my mission so far. Here are some highlights: -It POURED rain out of nowhere (gotta love monsoon season I guess) lots of lightning too  -We pulled weeds and it was super muddy hahaa - Someone had QUAIL and gave us some pickled quail eggs and also a FAT zucchini. (we made muffins using the zucchini)  - There was a church building in Fruita (nearby city) that was burned down a couple months ago (arsen) and they just announced last night that the church was just going to bulldoze the property and not rebuild it for a couple years.... That was sad news but its okay.  And my FAVORITE part of this week was teaching Neena. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith and she was just in awe. We asked if she believed it, and she said she did so we invited her to be baptized. She picked her own date (August 15th) and she was so excited ...

Thoughts on bees...

This week was crazy long. but today I just want to tell you about some bees I don't like bees. They are loud and they sting and we eat their vomit.... Nasty. They are just not my favorite bug at all.  Someone in our ward is a beekeeper. He was showing all the 8-11 year old girls how the honey was made, and we were invited (because inwardly, we are 8 years old). He showed us the bee boxes, and explained how they worked. A couple things I learned: All the bees you see are female. The male bees rarely leave the hive Male bees don't have stingers. They have about a 5 mile radius Every batch of honey tastes a little different, depending on the flowers they visited And many other random facts. And you know what? The more I learned about those bees, the less I hated them. At the end, a bee just about flew into my face, but I hardly flinched. They were just happy, little innocent insects minding their own business, working their little butts off and making that honey for us to enjoy. M...
