Yesterday, I had my first experience interpretting!! The elder who
usually translates for our sacrament meeting had an ear infection, so he
asked Hna Clark and I to translate! because there are some americans
who come to the branch to support but dont speak any spanish, so we have
some equipment and we translate/interpret for them! We were super
nervous at the beginning cause it was fast and testimony meeting and
poeple can say anything haha. However, once we warmed up, it was really
fun! and hard...but fun! I hope I get to do it again soon. One of the
members from guatemala got up and spoke as fast as she could! and it was
my turn...she is a really good friend of ours, and she did it on
purpose... haha but it was good! I got to practice! :)
This
morning I was reading 1 Nephi 17. (I have started the BoM over again in
search of Christlike attributes) And found a lot of cool stuff about
Family History, yes Family History!! :) Laman and Lemuel were murmuring
(as always) and nephi just pulls out a whole bunch of stories from their
ancestors and how God blessed them in so many ways and how he would do
the same for them! It helped me realize that we really can learn from
the experiences, not just from the bible or the book of mormon, but from
our very own family members! It made me really excited to do Family
History work! Which, to be honest I have never really felt before.
anyway, thought I would share that with you :)
We
have also been able to find a lot of great people this week and have
heard a lot of interesting back stories! haha its been fun!
The
weather has been pretty inconsistent lately..one day its pouring rain
all day, the next its sunny, then windy and everything in between. Feels
like Utah haha :) Our branch president showed us a picture of his son
who did a hike in Provo Canyon..I didnt realize how much I missed the
Mountains there!!
I love everyday I have here as a missionary!! But, I am sad that the days go by so fast!
Well,
I love you all and thanks for all the prayers and support! I hope
everyone has a great Labor Day and a good rest of the week!
