I love people!

Its been such a great week! today was awesome. Everyday we go to the park and do exercises, and today I talked to someone and got his contact information! He was way cool and nice and easy to talk to. And then today for Pday we went to the mall and went to this cool little thrift shop thing and talked to a lady there too. Seriously everyone here is way nice. I can't wait to get out in the field and meet more people.

The CCM is awesome and crazy since I'm in the 2 week program, I'm with all natives, and literally everything is in Spanish. Sometimes I get lost in class but I've been surprised at how much I do understand. i LOVE my companion. Her name is Hermana Chavez and she's from Peru. We like to joke about our pololos haha. Oh and the slang here is crazy but i was totally prepared cuz i googled all of it before i left XD. All of my rommates are natives, too, so literally everything is in Spanish haha. THEY ARE SO FUN. I love Spanish and i love latinas. Crazzzyyyy immersion over here. 

I've learned so much about myself this week. 1. I need to be more patient with myself. Sometimes my companion gets talking like fjdksalfjslkjfdslkjfkaljfsdklfjlkdsjafl in Spanish and I just sit there like whaaaaaa and i get a little frustrated. But i need to have patience. 2. I need to totally solidify my reasons for being here because some days get hard and long. But if i remember why i'm here, I get super motivated. 3. I need to remember to just calm down sometimes and not worry! Because all is well as long as i'm doing my best. :)

I'm praying for all of you!!! And i love you all so much. Mom I wear our ring every day and whenever i look at I feel happyyyyy :)

much love,

Hermana Cannon :)
