Craziest Week of My Life

So I don't have a ton of time and I have a crappy keyboard that doesn't type real well so this one is going to be a little vague. So I'm just going to bullet point some stuff so that I can try to get it all in.

- #1: Hermana Lao had surgery on Monday and they didn't let me watch because it's a IHC hospital and I'm not an employee of one even though the surgeon and the anesthesiologist said it was ok but whatever i guess i had some good experiences in the waiting room. Hermana Lao apparently tore her ACL years ago and has been walking around on it. The ACL was completely gone and had reattached to her PCL and was completely healed to it. The surgeon said he has never seen that before so i thought it was quite interesting. In the waiting room, we had an amazing talk Sunday night by brother McIff the little brother of one of the members of the mtc presidency. Well he was having surgery too so I just hung out with his kids and grand kids all day it was a lot f fun and they sure are an amazing family that is very loving and really nice and willing to talk to all. They are all lawyers at the McIff law firm somewhere in Utah. Way awesome people. Experience number two, I realized how scary missionary work is. I think maybe it would have been easier with a companion but it was really scary for me. So there was an older gentleman from Mexico sitting in the waiting room with me and and he heard me say that I was learning Spanish. So he came over and sat next t me and grabbed my marker board and was like "this is what you should say to everyone you meet" then he wrote "Hola, como esta" it was quite funny. I let him just teach me everything he wanted to teach me and I got to know him quite well. After an hour I kind of brought up the church and he said that he had heard about it, then I got scared and just backed off. i really hope the Lord gives him another opportunity for him to hear about the gospel because i failed miserably. After he left I sat and had a really good scripture study about the confidence the Lord can give you.

- #2: We got another companion for a few days. Sister Motuliki is from Tonga and she has been here for 3 months because she broke her ankle. She learned English and Spanish while she is here and she is quite the hilarious person. Well her companions left Monday morning and they were all in our zone. So Hermana Motuliki was just waitng for clearance from the doctor t be able t go so it was fun to have her in our room and as a companion for a few days. We didn't go to class all week in between hermana Lao and Hermana Motuliki having doctor's appointments and district president's appointments but it's been good the elders have taught us everything we need so it's been good.

- #3: I've been called as the coordinating sister for the zone, it's kind of like the girl version of a zone president so I'm just like the third wheel on the zone leaders. It's been fun but hard I have meetings almost everyday and this week i have missed all of them because of different things happening. But it's been a good experience and I'm learning a lot about being a leader and about being an example so it's been great.

- #4: ALL the general authorities are on campus this week because it's the new mission president's training. It's been pretty cool. Yesterday i took Hernana Motuliki t meet with the district president and the district president gave us permission t miss class and he pulled us into a room with a TV and we got to watch the prophet speak and he was just on the other side of thew all so it was really cool. He was so relaxed and was joking around it was really different than what you see in general conference. I was laughing my head off a lot of the time and i learned a lot. Even though he was giving the mission presidents advice it was still really good for me to hear. Then we got to watch them from like 5 feet away load up in their cars and drive off both yesterday and today because we were headed to laundry when they were coming out today. So it's been fun and it's really made all the missionaries step it up a notch because we want to be good for the president and such.

- #5: I've seen the lords help a ton this week. I've learned and understood more Spanish than I have since I've been here. I'm to grateful that he is helping me especially when there is so much going on and I have missed so much.

Well that is about it, and I'm out of time so I hope everything is going well and remember to write me and I really appreciate all the letters I have gotten from everyone and all the packages, I really do feel loved!!!

love
Hermana Hubbard
