uuummm idk what to put in the subject line. imagine me doing peace signs

Somehow, idk how, I am losing weight in the MTC. Don’t worry, I actually eat all the food but Hermana Johnson and I go to the gym every day and lift weights so I am getting swole.
We did a service project this week. We cleaned some old houses that were on the CCM and we found an old sprite bottle behind one of the couches unopened and Hermana Johnson and I and some other sisters took a swig of the sprite. It was made in 2019 so it’s not that old but we think it expired in April. idk, we can’t speak Spanish so who knows what will happen. probably not the wisest decision to do but hey, yolo.
Hermana Johnson and I got these cool ctr rings from la tienda. I’ll send a picture of them later, once I figure out how to put pictures on the computers and such.
I can now recite the first vision and the missionary objective in Spanish. The Spanish is rough. I’m slowly getting but sometimes Hermana Johnson and I get so frustrated we just take a walk around the CCM to clear our minds and then we get right back at it with learning Spanish.
This week the CCM brought members from the outside world haha to let us practice Spanish and what we had learned. some of the members I talked to went really well and some other ones I just wanted to lay on the ground and cry. when they say a mission is a roller coaster. it really is.
I didn't have to give a talk in church. It's like Russian roulette. You don't know you are giving a talk till after the sacrament and it is terrifying. Sacrament meeting is probably the only thing I hate about the CCM. Not the language or the massive spiders and cockroaches we find, its sacrament. I am working on trying to make the best of sacrament and not be scared of it.
Well how are the states. I can't figure out how to do a question mark on the computers here. the keyboards are switched up and stuff and has tons of new things I have never seen before so bear with me on the questions. Someone eat a kit kat for me. I would love one of those right now. hahaha i think they sell them in la tienda.

April 5, 2021 Hello! This week has felt like 3 weeks. It's been a long one. Not much happened so it's been pretty boring but here are a few of our adventures. We helped make an Easter Video for our facebook page. We helped out at our ward Primary Easter Egg hunt. One kid went hunting before it even started and took all of the eggs! So hna Ralphs and I successfully took his basket and hid all the eggs again 30 seconds before the hunt started. We were able to talk with a ton of ward members at the Easter egg hunt and meet so many members who had gone off the grid when covid started. It was a fun time! We watched conference! We were able to go to a members' home to watch it. While there, their huge cat came and sat on my notebook and on me and wouldnt move. Their cat was sooo sassy and kept walking all over our notes. Other than that, we had a really boring week. Nothing exciting happened. I hope everyone had a great time watching conference! If you havent seen it...

March 2, 2020 When you think you’ve hit rock bottom, you can only go up right... wrong. I can’t remember my favorite lines from the Grinch. I’m devastated. It was terrible. I was quoting the Grinch because the moment was right and I couldn’t remember the quote and now I eat brownies to drown my sorrows. IM NOT ACTUALLY SAD IM OK. This week was really good! Here is the update with our investigators. Augastina her baptism fell through because her mom has to keep working on her baptism it's very hard to get in contact with her mom. Augastina is a 9 year old girl who is very good! Alfred BAPTISM DATE! We taught Alfred about baptism after church this Sunday and he wants to get baptized! He is very excited. April 11th. We know it is very far out but there is a language barrier. He can only speak creole, French and a little Spanish so it takes a bit to explain everything and we want to make sure he understands everything. Alfred is like a 6’5” hatiano with literally the biggest he...
