"You're speaking in French..."

Ma chere famille,

haha. The subject line is a quote from last night when Soeur Beagles and I were doing le planif hebdo weekly planning. I told her we'd continue to do those in english for a couple more weeks, but the rest of the time, french. I'm a crazy person, I know, but her French has gotten much better in the last week, cause I told her no more english. Anyways, apparently I'm to the point where I'm going in and out of French and not really realizing it, cause I started speaking last night, and I was for a couple mins, and Soeur Beagles said that to me, cause I guess I was speaking french instead of english. hah. Qu'est-ce que j'aime cette langue I love this language!! Its the best.

This week was a little tough. Mostly because Thursday night, I found out that Soeur Kailiponi's going home. I was starting to think that she was gonna make it, but she's pretty sick, so she's going home. Next week. And I'm super sad about it. And I had this weird little pre meltdown Thursday afternoon before I found out, cause I kinda knew it was coming. But yah. She's flying home this weekend, I think. And I'm really sad about it. Cause she's my hero!! And my mom. And She's suuuuch a good missionary. She's touched SO MANY lives in this year that she's been here, And Elle va me manquer. BEAUCOUP And they will miss her. So much. More than I can say. So yah, I felt pretty drained all week.

And drivers ed is a little hard. So pray for me specifically for that if you can. I'm not worried about once I hit the driving part, but le code is hard. But! I know that its possible with Heavenly Father, so it'll come.

Other than that, we had a GREAT lesson with a member this Tuesday night!! We were stoked about it, cause we've been trying to really work with them more. Cause they are key. Really, family. Track down your local missionaries and see when they can take you to a lesson with them. And if they don't have lessons fixeed, have a FHE and invite friends over. This work is incredible.

Ok, I gotta bounce, But! I love you all!! I am sooo happy to be a missionary, despite the hard times. Don't worry, I'm picking myself up and dusting myself off. But I love you all. And this work is worth it. Every hard time, every heartache. I love it. I love you!! You are in my prayers!!

L'evangile est vraie!!

Love, Soeur Santos
