Leaving for Paraguay. Pray for me!

This week was great!!! i leave for paraguay monday. i have to be in reception at 2 O CLOCK IN THE MORNING MONDAY MORNING and i fly all day completely by myself all the way to paraguay so if yall wanna say a special prayer that hermana thomas can speak spanish well enough to make it to paraguay that would be GRAND. haahahaha!!

my spanish honestly hasnt improved that much. or at least it feels that way! but i am a lot happier this week and i have learned a ton. i got to teach a member yesterday and she has been a member 3 months and she is 20 years old. i challenged her to pray to see if she should serve a mission and she said she was going to and that she didnt think she could because she doesnt think she will be able to learn enough about the gospel to teach it. i told her i had to buy the book of mormon for kids because i realized i know very little when it comes to the right scriptures and stories to share hahahaha and i think she felt better, and she was tearing up and i really think she will serve and be a great missionary!

we had a district meeting this week to talk about what we need to improve on as a whole and i mentioned we should maybe like study when it is study time hahaha im such a killjoy! but it was really funny because when we had personal study later that afternoon, i walked in with my comp 5 minutes early and all of the elders were already there silently studying with REALLY smug looks on their faces like, are we good enough for you now hermana thomas? hahahah!!! they are awesome

my companion and an Elder in my district are my translators. but no, i dont need translations from spanish into english. just from spanish into spanish. hahaha!!! so they always say what other people say more simply and slowly and strip it of all the slang and confusing unnecessary words hahaha. and then i can understand!!!

i am actually so tired almost always but i am happy most days and most times! i am improving lots and i really am excited to go to the field, but also super super terrified!!!!

i love you all so much and I HOPE THIS GETS TO YOU. thanks for your support!!
