Hola

It feels like I was at this computer 3 minutes ago. Seriously time flies when you are having fun :). So we got a new Hermana in our house and she is from Mexico. The first few days were a little rough not having Hermana Morales help me with Spanish but now we are doing great! She really helps me with my Spanish. She probably just isn’t as sick of all my questions as everyone else haha.

Companion :)

This week Satan was a little stinker and started to give me more fears of opening my mouth. One night I was pretty disappointed with myself for not talking to more people and I was reading a chapter in D &C and I glanced over and read the words, "Yea, you shall ever open your mouth in my cause, not fearing what man can do, for I am with you." I took the hint :) the next day I had TONS of embarrassing moments BUT I was so much happier by the end of the day. I´ve come to the conclusion that I´m going to make a lot of mistakes. A lot a lot. So the sooner I make those the sooner I’ll progress. 

I taught a lot of English this week. Every Tuesday we have English classes, so this week I taught everyone how to pray in English. Then yesterday, the other Hermana's had an investigator who needed help with his English homework. So we went on splits and I helped the little boy, but oh my goodness, his family literally thought I was a rock star. I hate it. And I can’t even explain to them that I’m just a normal person. Each member of the family took a picture with me. They are so cute though. 

Conference was so incredible. And I got to listen to it in English! I almost cried when they told me there was a separate room for those who wanted to listen to it in English. But the talks that were given in Spanish we listened to in Spanish and surprisingly I understood most of it. Miracles do happen :) 

Iveth and Berlin's Baptism :)

This week was Iveth and Berlin´s baptism. I LOVE THEM. I love everyone here. Saturday was such a special day. Little Berlin has been begging to be baptized ever since I got here. The first day I was here we taught Iveth and its crazy to think about how far she has come. After baptisms I don’t really have a congratulations speech yet so I just hug them for a really really long time. 

Daniela made me pinky promise her that I would let her get baptized when she turns eight, and every time we go over to teach a lesson she wants to wear my tag. They are pretty darn cute!

So on Sunday morning the President of our branch got a bus for our investigators and some of the members in our branch that don’t have a car. We all crammed into the little bus with a driver that was literally crazy. I was holding on to the chair in front of me trying my hardest not to put all my weight on the boy next to me. Everyone was talking and laughing and I just paused for a second, and thought about how much I love these people. Words can’t describe how much I care about them. I realized how happy I am here. I really have never been this happy. It’s a moment I’ll never forget. Everyday I realize more that it was a call from God. This is where I need to be. I love you all! And am forever grateful for this opportunity. Thanks for being great, and for not forgetting about me! :)

Love always,

HermANNA Fowler

P.S. I pretty sure I’m whiter now than I was when I left. Plot twist.

P.P.S. I kill bugs like it’s my job. And I actually kinda like it. Ben you probably think I’m lying but I’ll send proof next week.
