Hola mi familia y amigos! It's that time of the week again! Writing this always feels like I should be talking in a game show announcer voice. Sooo just picture that from now on. I feel like I'm being interviewed for a game show about my life every week, but way less funny. So just really soak in this information, just in case there is a game involving prizes at the end.
It has been a crazy week, as per usual. Semana 5 y 6 means no English in class at all! We also had 3 TRC's and taught 3 lessons to our interested people "Daniel" y "Rodrigo" (also known as Hermano Santander in a baseball cap and Hermana Rodriguez's alter ego). For those who don't know what TRC's mean, it is basically practicing how to teach in Español with members.... That speak only Español.... So I nicknamed them to TristeRC's. Triste means sad in Español to symbolize our sadness when we realize it is week six and we still can't make a sentence. However, I left the RC alone because in all reality I am just being dramatic, they actually aren't that bad and seeing our progress is really cool. Plus the members in Mexico are always so encouraging and willing to help. Hermana Marsh and I made it a goal to only write our lesson plans in English and then rely on the Lord to help us with Español. Let me tell you guys, the gift of tongues is real. I understood words I didn't even know I knew and I was able to have natural conversation and the beginning of our lessons this week. Our lesson with Daniel was amazing and I can't wait to actually teach in the field.
Speaking of, I leave for Nevada in 7 days!!!!! Crazy right?! I am so nervous but also, so excited! I can't believe I have already been a missionary for six weeks! Also lucky me, I do not have to get Covid tested before I get on the plane! Which means I have avoided getting my brain tickled yet again! Hopefully I can keep up this not being exposed trend.
Ok so now for the updates on all the fun shenanigans we are up to in our very limited breaks! Also this week we had girls night for three nights in a row! On the last night we did facemasks that looked like reindeer. I would attach the photo but the other girls insisted I didn't. Soooo if you want it you'll have to ask me in a different message. I also still haven't gotten my package from Hermana Marsh, it's going on day 11. So everyone pray it gets here before I leave!! Ahhh! We also had a super fun Chickfila date, sponsored by our awesome moms who agreed to drive us to Chickfila and back just so we could do companion study while eating Chickfila. Also, I made a milagros wall, to help remind me of all the tiny milagros throughout my weeks in the CCM. It is close enough that when I don't want to get out of bed I can remember all the good things that have happened. Our Embark group also discovered the amazing resource that is Embark. I know sounds weird right? Turns out the app is for way, way, way more than just basic core and has all sorts of grammar practices and reviews. Those videos have been lifesavers this week.
Fun with the fam included a very busy Sunday. We recorded a high quality video of us doing the 12 days of Christmas. Made two more batches of Christmas treats, played games, opened our Christmas yums box, and made Chinese for lunch! I have played so many games with my family this week, and have found out I am actually awesome at Stone Age so, if anyone wants to challenge me, I'm always down. I'm gonna miss this crazy, loud, but 100% supportive bunch.
Class shenanigans include four major events. Uno, Elder Wall clearing his couch, and falling epicly trying to clear some stacked tables during our obstacle course exercise. Dos, Hermano Santender being Daniel with a fedora and middle part (pictures are required to go to my grave on that one). Tres, the hardest tongue twister ever with Hermana Rodriguez. Quatro, we found out how to make virtual backgrounds... that is all I need to say on that one. Pictures are included.
Elder Pope's video tribute and our #lighttheworld video should be posted on Facebook in the next two days. So, keep on the lookout, watch and share! Trying to get videos from everyone and editing is messing with a force of nature so that is why I keep saying the video will come, and then it doesn't come.... But, the Elders are on it and they will both be posted before Christmas day! I love the way the Lord is letting everyone use their talents in so many different ways.
I love you all and I hope you have an amazing Christmas! I'm praying for snow at least one time before I move to the desert. I love getting emails so don't be afraid to tell me how your week went too!
Enviando Abrazos Celestiales,
Hermana Sellers
