Week 17 Learning in 3 Languages

Week 17 - May 7, ,2018 Learning in 3 Languages


 Hola hola! I’m on!!!  Hello Everyone!
Wow!  What a week!  I don’t know if I ever had a week more hectic than this week!

My new companera se llama Herma Richetti.  She is 19 from the Dominican Republic, and she has 6 months in the mission.  She loves ice cream & chocolate. She studied accounting before her mission. And I think she is a type 4/1 (in the Carol Tuttle system).

This week we taught lessons in Spanish, English, and Creol.  How CRAZY! We have an investigator (Wilson) who is Haitino, but speaks English (no Spanish).  So we talk to him in English. Spanish is normal now; but Creol (French) is SUPER hard! I don’t know if my mind can handle 3 languages.

But this week was super good!  The members here LOVE to help the missionaries.  We had sushi 2 times this week! #
Delicious.

My new sector (Parral) is HUGE!  I’ve never had to run to be on time for things, but my companion likes running in a skirt with 5 pound backpack.  So we run sometimes. #outofshape. But in our group of focus we have 5 Haitians y 1 latino, that’s how many Haitians to Latinos there are!  (I think) (don’t quote me)

I can’t wait to see pictures and hear experiences from the Philippines!!!

Thanks for the pictures! I live for pictures of everyone!!!   No Marshall didn’t send the clips from his dances... please have him send them!

Hola mama! Como esta? Como le fue su semana? Yo tengo algo importante para decir... THIS SUNDAY IS MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GET TO SKYPE THIS SUNDAY!!!!!!
Anyways, yeah! If you are on, we can talk about the time and what is best... but if not, it’s gonna be some time between 2 my time and 7 my time... but I only have 20 more minutes so hopefully you are on!

I figured that Dad wouldn’t be on our call for Mother’s Day because he is in the Philippines. Okay, my companera says we’ll call sometime in the afternoon... I’m going to give your number to one of the hermanas in my ward and coordinate with her and you... is that okay?  Her name is Hermana Maritza (I think that’s how you spell it) and I’ll let you know more specifically the hour! She will either contact through text or facebook so don;t be scared to accept a friend request!

That’s about all F..F..Folks!

Love you lots!

Hermana Williams (your favorite daughter)

Week 13 - My 3 Month Mark!

Image
Week of April 9, 2018 Hola hola!  Today marks 3 months in the misión!!!  I’m on! Here are some of my highlights so far.  Getting to know the people in both Mexico and Chile, watching conference in Spanish, and visiting the temple! Being able to experience the country of Chile.  Becoming fluent in Spanish. Strengthening my testimony. Impacted other people for the good! I’ve also been able to Mexico Temple and the Concepción Temple (the outside).  Missionaries in the misión Concepción don’t get to visit the Santiago temple... are you on the Facebook page for my misión? I sang a duet (kind of a duet) for a practice and there might be a video.. if so, don’t laugh, I was super nervous!!! I feel like I understood most all of General Conference (90 percent!) when we watched it in Spanish.  But I want to read it in English so that I can actually study the words.. Haha, it’s much much easier understanding Spanish then it is speaking Spanish......

Week 8 - Elder Bragg, Speaking Spanish and Hard Work

Week 8 March 5, 2018 Wow, the time here has flown! I only have 4 weeks left in this transfer! Crazy!!! The days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days.. This week I got called on during a zone conference (with Elder Bragg of the 70) and I actually understood the question and answered (i think) decently! The conference with him was super amazing though, I really love hearing and learning more about what I should be studying right now! I think I'm trying to balance 6 or 7 different topics of study, along with language! Its crazy but so good! My brain has never hurt this much but never felt so good at the same time! I have a sick watch line (sorry, no pictures) and my freckles are coming out! Makes me so happy!!! I love the sun, and am trying to enjoy it before it gets super cold! There are SOO many dogs here! Usually they are behind gates and or are sleeping, but at times there are a lot or really big ones around us, and one starts barking, and then the othe...

Hey all! So this week has been super crazy! My friend Hermana Rueda finished her mission and leaves tomorrow for her house.. Tomorrow the new missionaries come to the mission office and... GUESS WHAT!!! IM TRAINING!!!!!!!!!!!! How crazy is that? I feel like the blind leading the blind.. But I know that God can do all things, and that with his help, I can teach someone how to be a missionary... But other than that, I’m staying here in Parral YAY! This Saturday we are going to have the baptism of Chelo (haitian) and he is super excited for his day to finally get here! Have you all seen pictures of the temple in Concepcion yet?  If not, look them up! It’s so pretty! I can’t wait for the open house and then the dedication! Can I just say how hard it is speaking 3 languages?  I’m getting better with my Spanish. My English is worse than before, but sometimes I teach in English also, and sometimes we have people who don’t understand English or Spanish so we speak Cr...
