Week #2

  

It's P-day once again.

Thanks for the package and the Dearelder letters. Those are seriously great. This week has been long, hard, and good at the same time. The days literally blend together. We had a few good companionship inventories and Hna Mccarty and I have grown closer because of them. There were little things that I was letting bug me, but she likes me to be blunt, so I worked cause I am learning how to successfully express my emotions. We compromised and worked out a good system. She was way sad this week because Elder R. left for Spain on Monday. We all miss him, but from what we've heard, he's doing great. 

I like days when we have gym time. One day, I biked for 10 miles with alternating resistance. Most of the time I do the elliptical. It literally helps so much for the rest of the day. It helps me stay positive and alive. I think my clothes aren't fitting well either, like they are all too big now, so hey, there's something!  We exercise right before lunch. I hate the food here, so I just get a salad and some type of soup every day. It's pretty great. I really do love the salad. And the soups are fabulous. 

(How come I didn't a St.Patty's day package?? Haha.)

March 18 was the year mark since Ecuador. It's crazy to see how far I've come. I get to use the Atonement a lot in my life, and I am so grateful. The following day, actually, I had to use it a lot. It was really rough. I will send you the copy of the letter I wrote my Branch President, so I don't have to write it again.

Sorry the Blog and email and bank stuff are crazy. I just laugh when I read that though. Hopefully it isn't all in shambles when I come home. 

Hna Mccarty is going to San Antonio Texas on her mission. So she is  "The District- 1" and I am "The District- 2" If you don't understand that, Ask Scott. 

My Scripture for my plaque should be Ether 12:27. But once Jeremy gets done with the pictures, I want to see them and then decide on a picture. 

Typical Day? I'll send you a hand written one. 

I was hoping you'd get Sabrina's info because Her friend is leaving Monday, so she'll just miss her. If you do talk to her, tell her that this girl used to work at the Ice Rink and was friends with Ty Mortensen. She has red curly hair and her name is Hna L.
 Spanish is coming good. I still understand a lot more then I speak, but I am learning conjugation and how to form logical sentences. I do personal study as well as in class. My teachers are great help. We also teach them as our "investigators." then they give us advice afterwards. It is really fun and we feel the spirit. we do a lot of it Improv. 

I can't believe Erin come home this week. Give her my love, and my contact info ;]

Will you get on my email and email me 2 emails that Erin and Natalie wrote to be a few days before I left. They will be down a few dates. Crazy how time flies. 

Keep sending me dear elders and I'll try to send some handwritten ones in reply. I think that's all for now! I'm excited to see Sabrina!

Ciao!

Con Amor,

Hna Howell
