It sounds like you've had a fun couple of days!!! It's so cool that your friend was able to come over - he sounds like a great guy. Who are you home teaching? Someone that I know? Probably not...I don't know a lot of people....oh well. I'm only slightly jealous about the spa....haha please enjoy while I'm gone though :-) I bet it's awesome!! Haha that's super funny about the carpet :-) Does Chris have another appointment with a doctor yet? That's kinda scary...But I remember in the blessing you gave him that he will be able to recover from this. But I will for sure keep him in my prayers.
Anyways...about my few days here. They have been amazing!!! The first few days felt super long, but I can't believe that I've already been here for almost a week. They do this simulation sort of thing here where they bring in people who are members of the church, but they act like investigators. It's interesting because even though you know that they aren't real investigators, we are still able to teach them as though they were. (P.S. all of our lessons are being done in Español) Anyways, our investigator is Rolando. ( I keep messing up his name and calling him Ronaldo...whoops) And we taught him our 3rd lesson the other day. IT WAS SO AMAZING. I have never felt anything like it before. Rolando's parents died when he was 9, so we were talking about baptism and how that's the first step to be able to return to live with our Father in Heaven. I was able to share about Amy and how even though she has returned to heaven already, I know that my family has been sealed in the temple and that one day we will all be together again. I cried. haha, but seriously one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
My schedule every day is pretty much the same. We have 3 hours of class in the morning with our teacher, Hermana Collier. She served in Paraguay for her mission. It is so amazing how much I have progressed with the language since I've been here. I mean, I'm teaching whole discussions in SPANISH. With like little to no help. Its crazy. So then after class, we have a whole bunch of study time. Like 4 hours total. Then at night we teach our investigator. We also have about an hour for gym time.
My companion is so awesome...we are alike in a lot of ways, which is nice. We get along really well and we are both pretty relaxed and easy to get along with. She's really athletic - she played volleyball and basketball in high school. She's from South Jordan, which is pretty cool too. We are along both on the same page when it comes to teaching which is good.
Anyways, I still have to respond to mom, and I only have 30 minutes total for everyone, but I love you so much, and I'm glad you're doing well. Thank you so much for everything you do!!!
Love, Hermana Bowerman
