Howdy howdy.
Welp, this week has been pretty good. Hermana Pyle and I figured out a good way to use language study more effectively which essentially entails verb drills with me as the coach. It's a nice review for me and she is finally starting to remember a few conjugations. Teaching in Spanish is virtually impossible when you dono't speak Spanish. Did you know that?
Hermana Greer in my district has had a really rough week because her cousin passed away 2 days ago due to a drug overdose. 2 of her brothers are addicted to drugs so its even closer to home. Luckily no one (that I'm aware of) has tried to tell her not to cry or that everything is ok because mourning and grief are part of this. It's expected and healthy honestly that she grieves for him. She knows life goes on after this just as well as the rest of us, but that doesn't diminish or minimize pain. This is one of those things where there really isn't anything to say. You feel it.
I'm singing in our branch (about 40-50 missionaries) with an Elder from Mexico on Sunday! We're singing "Be Still My Soul." Hopefully it'll turn out well :)
I met someone going to a visitors center in Independance, Missouri yesterday! She seemed really nice. She's Spanish speaking too which makes us two of a kind because normally when people find out I'm Spanish speaking at a visitors center they get kind of puzzled since I'm not native. That's what I'm here for, folks. Confusion and bewilderment for all. Glad I can be of service.

We lost 2 of the Elders in our district this week because they are finishing their training at the MTC in the Dominican Republic. Therefore, our district is down to 10. Technically still a large district, but it feels so much smaller. I don't like losing people! Maybe if I just don't make any more friends it won't hurt when I lose them! Yes! That's it!
I hope everyone is having a jolly old time at home for the holidays! Till next week,
