Happy 20th To Meee

Gah! Check ittt, I even got a cake! Granted, that was over a week ago haha. But my pictures wouldn't work last week, and I was out of time to fix it. LAME. But oh well! I finally got them out there for y'all. :D

Anywho, California has been AWESOME. I'm really not thinking about Argentina a whole lot, but of course I'm still stoked to get there eventually. I'll admit it has been a BLAST, because there is a Spanish elder we work with (actually there are four), and he's from Argentina!! Well...Born there, but he's been in Southern Cali for a while. But he's still got his Argentine accent, and I WILL pick it up haha. He says that if I pick it up and don't have a gringo accent, I could definitely blend in once I get down there. Whichhh sounds like a blast. (: Eventually. But for now??

Something that our San Rafael Branch and mis compañeras have somehow started a "nickname" of sorts for me. Both Hermana Andrews and Hermana Zurita are 21, annnd I'm the young one of the branch. Sooo I'm Hermanita. At times I'm "Hermana Lee-bert" (few Latinos can pronounce our name right, which is perfectly okay with me haha), but typically they settle for Hermanita. (: I love it haha.

I don't know if I've mentioned this already, but I keep thinking it. The more I learn Spanish, the less English makes sense! Buuut I still really have to practice using Spanish throughout the day.

Alright, so what're my days like??

6:20-Wake up, say prayers, putting on the running clothes

6:30-Out the door, and out exercising for a half hour...Maybe stopping by the donut shop in the middle of our loop. (; Tee hee.

7:00-Get home, all 3 of us hermanas gotta get ready in an hour with one shower and then eat.

8:00-Personal Study: I like to read scriptures in English&Spanish and then study some Preach My Gospel stuff.

9:00-Companionship Study: Go over what we'll be teaching that day and practice a tad.

10:00-Twelve Weeks: Basically my training as a "newbie"

11:00-Language Study: SPANISHHH

12:00-Lunch! Yummm. (:

1:00 - 5:00-Out teaching and tracting and finding people!

5:00-Dinnerrrr: Our members are awesome about feeding us, and the food is always SO authentic and delicious!

6:00 - 9:00 (or 9:30 if in the middle of a lesson)-Teaching some more!

9:30-Planning for the next day and then journal writing and such

10:30-Lights out, and I'm OUT once my head hits the bed. (:

I'm not totally sure what else I wanna update y'all on, but I hope that's good! Haha. Maybe next time I can update y'all on a couple of our awesome investigators. (: They make me happyyyy. Anywho, but other than that, all is well for this hermana. Struggling a little bit with the Spanish, so keep praying for me! Annnd I've also been asked to speak in church on the 23rd of June! THEE DAY. I dno what's goin' down, but you guys have got to look this up! I'm so stoked: http://www.lds.org/church/events/the-work-of-salvation-missionary-broadcast?lang=eng
