El Temblor


Hola Everyone! Sorry I haven´t written in awhile...it´s hard for me to remember everything that happened in the week and I only have like 5 seconds to write so it´s a mess. But here we go...

Still making a fool of myself in Spanish on the daily.  The progress is slow folks...very slow.  My accent is horrendous.  I cannot roll my "r"s to save my life. When walking in the calles, I always have to repeat "ra re ri ro ru" over and over again to practice.  Es una vaina but oh well.

Still having mini heart attacks everyday from those dang dogs.  I also step in their gifts they leave everywhere almost twice on the daily.  My companion says I´m really unlucky.  it´s a fact.

We had a earthquake this week! I think it´s the first time in my life I`ve ever felt an earthquake.  We felt it around 9:30pm one night while we were getting ready for bad. When our casita started to shake I was confused jaja I thought it was because a giant truck was going by until the other hermanas started yelling "temblor temblor!!!" We grabbed our emergency backpacks and bustled out the door, in pajamas, without shoes and looking like messes (not like representatives of Jesus Christ).  But the earthquake was small where we were at and there was no major damage.  So it´s all good.

yeah, that´s all for this week.  The work here is progressing quickly and I`m grateful to be part of it.  We are actually going to have a stake here in Santa Rosa soon! It`s really exciting and busy at the same time.

Also, Ciao is italian. They spelt it Chau here. La plena. Lo siento.

Chau,

Hermana Blazzard
