Just Checking In

We have a whole three minutes to tell you "what up" :P

It has been really fun so far, the food is excellent, and I keep finding awesome scriptures and my Spanish is coming so fast. I got asked whether or not I wanted to move up to an intermediate level spanish district, and I don't know if I want to pack up an move, but I think that it might be better for my spanish. It's a little bit slow, and I feel like I might be making it hard for my companions because I understand and tell them what the teacher said. It's a struggle, but I have tonight to pray about it. At the same time, you wouldn't get pictures from Hermana Dennis' friend, but that was awesome :). Hope you loved it. I do miss all of you, but there is so much to do I stay pretty busy and distracted from that. The beds are really hard, and I feel like I slept on the floor, but it's good, my spirituality is strengthened every day if that makes any sense. I like my companions, Hermana Schultz might be leaving on Monday for the Mexican MTC, so we'll see how that goes if I stay. I love you all so very much, and I hope you're having fun. I kinda get the feeling that I'm a million miles away and that it was weeks ago that you dropped me off. My branch president is amazing so far, and I was assigned to the service project next Thursday, so that should be fun if I stay as well. I'm afraid that I'm already gaining weight here because there is just so much good food at every meal! I love the food and the dessert, so I've got to start running or something. We've been playing volleyball during our exercise time and it's fun, but I'm not burning enough calories doing that for sure. Hermana Dennis can trill when she whistles and it's cool, but sometimes she does it out of habit and I'm not sure if I like it yet. I am looking forward to some letters and packages, but I still have so many treats, so don't worry about sending food really :). I still might send you back my blue shoes, I'm thinking they're going to be way too warm in our mission. I love all of these Hermanas and I think it would be hard to leave, but I'll pray about it and I know that I'll receive an answer. I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to teach this gospel and for the peace it's given me time and time again. Love you all and hope your week is going great!

Love,

Hermana Swan (o Cisne en espanol :)

PS Good luck with school starting, I know you'll do great! Love ya!
