Uhhh... My Spanish is sleeping today


My title should say it all. I AM TIRED! Haha woof, this week was a tough long one! But I'll tell you about it later!

I love that you had a great time in Arizona! I'll be honest, I'm super trunked out right now! Haha but it's okay, I'll get over it! That is so hilarious what Jenni did. That kills me. Is she taller already? She looks like it! I'm sorry y'all got sick! That's no fun! But that happens everytime everyone gets together. I'm not surprised!! Happens everytime. I hope everything went well this week! I am super jealous. Tell Jill that in two years were having thanksgiving at her house again. If she says no just tell her that it will only be me. For some reason the computer cafe smells like turkey so I am DYING! haha. You should hear my Thanksgiving dinner. Thusday night I was on an exchange and the elder I was with doesn't have a pensionitsa that does dinner so we didn't have dinner! So what I did was bought like four panes (little bread rolls, super duper good) some ham, and some mayonaise, and thats what I had for my thanksgiving dinner! Super sad I know but it was super good for some reason!!!

Okay now for my week. WOOF! It was a long rough and tough journey. I don't think I have ever walked more in my life. To start the week, on Tuesday I went on slpits with Elder Carrolll and stayed in his area until Thursday. I returned one night to sleep in my own bed but that was it. And let me tell ya, his area is DEAD! We walked and walked and walked, pretty sure I did trek in a good two days. Luckily his area is completely flat. We hardly taught anything and contacted a lot but no one was really taking the bait. It was rough. But I kind of had a break down with him because I was just super frustrated with my comp and my Spanish and just everything and he made me realize that I just need to take things slow. In my blessing it says I will be a leader in my mission, so I've been trying to become a leader as fast as I can because honestly, I really really like it. But he mad me realize that I just need to take it slow and not try so hard. I've been promised. I don't need to worry about it. So now I am just taking it easy. 

But needless to say I am tired. I wake up tired and go to sleep exhausted. Its sooooo much fun. Haha just kids. But it will get better! Hopefully I get to rest today and gain back some energy. Things are getting better with my comp and I am just trying to be patient with him, even if he isn't patient with me. It will get better!!!

Last night though something super cool happened! I GOT TO PUT UP THE CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!! :))) The family we live with have a tradition that every first Sunday of December they have the elders come and put up Christmas decorations at their house. I honestly can't remeber the last time I was so giddy. I was a little too happy. It was so much fun. We had chirstmas music on and we put up and decorated the chirstmas tree and decoprated the whole house. I felt like I was at home! We couldn't remeber where stuff went, we ahd problems with lights, and Papi was getting frustrated with garland, just like dad!!! It was truly a tender mercy. I loved it so much. I was so happy. 

However I am still super super tired. Haha the one word to sum up this week is Tired. But it will get better!!!

Awkward: Is it awkward that I can't think of an awkard moment?
Awesome: We are getting two more Elders to our area tomorrow!!! Our area is getting slipt and so we are gonna get a lot more help. WOOHOO!!!

I hope you have a wonederful week!!! Get back to school!!! 

Poco a Poco

Love,

Elder McIff
