Spanish:
Its a lot better thanlast week actually! Its crazy how fast Im learning
Spanish! I know that its only through Heavenly Father that I am able to
learn this fast. Its still kinda scary to teach our investigators just
cuz their Spanish is so much better than ours, but I can understand a
lot more than I can speak so thats nice! Its just trying to answer their
questions and respond to their comments thats the hard part.. I usually
just end up saying Si! or Esta bueno! Haha when those answers probably
dont even make sense..haha whoops! Its like at Stake Dances when the
music is really loud and you cant really hear what someone asked you s
o you just laugh awkardly or say: haha...yeah. Thats how I feel every day here! But I am learning more and more every day and I cant wait for the gift of tongues to set in! :) one day Ill just start speaking Spanish like nobodys business! That will be one awesome day! I did have a really cool experience though! One day in class, my teacher, Hermana Balderas was teaching us and we were reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish and then she would comment and then we would start saying more things. At that moment, I was able to undertand EVERYTHING!! It was so cool and gave me an extra push to keep learning Spanish cuz one day itll hit me and then every day will be like that! :)

Gospel:
Man has my testimony gotten so strong!! Not only do we learn about the
gospel every day and teach about it which helps me learn about it more,
but I pray soooo much! I dont know how I got through my days before with
only praying maybe twice a day. I counted the other day and I prayed
more than 15 times!! Its nuts but I wouldnt be able to get through this
without Him. We gotten pretty tight in these last few weeks! So I have a
challenge for you guys! I want you all to pray about it and think about
it too and figure out someone or more than one person, to give a Book
of Mormon to! If you read in D&C 123:12 I think youll see that there
are tons of people in this world that are so lost and have something
missing in their lives but they have no clue what it is! I know its
kinda scary, but just try it for me! And for them! We are told so much
here, the worst thing that can happen is they say no. :) I believe in
all of you! ¡Si se puede!!
Food: The food is
still as good as always but I just have one funny story. This weekend is
Mexico Independence Day and so we have been having special treats at
the meals because of that! So the other day they had these Mexican
candies out and I really wanted to try one! So I got one that looked
like chocolate. So when I ate it I was expecting something nice and
yummy and sweet but man was I wrong!! It tasted like sour raisens that
had been put through a blender with chile powder!! Oh man, it took all
inside me not to spit it out! I have officially learned my lesson on not
eating Mexican candy!! haha
Randomess:
So I havent hearn fomr Brian or Beth, what is she having?? I really
wanna know!! Also, this past Sunday, I gave my first talk on La Fe y
Perseverar hasta el Fin (Faith and Endure to the End) and it was all in
Spanish!! Oh yeah thats right! I was so proud of myself! Also, me and
the other girls in my district sang a musical number in Sacrament
Meeting! We sang Battle Hymn of the Republic accapella and got lotsa
compliments so Im gonna take it that we did good hoprfully! haha And
then today my branch (5) and branch 12 are singing in the Devotional!
Were singing I know that My REdeemer Lives! I dont know how weel its
gonna go for me since I have no voice! Hopefully I wont squeak really
loud or something..haha
Anyways

not mind if any of you wnated to send me letters! :) I love the emails
but letters are always a nice something to be able to hold! But if not,

Hermana McIntyre
