Hola!!! So you guys would be amazed. So not this past Sunday, but the
Sunday before (I forgot to tell you) I spoke in church, and that´s not
even the best part. It was in ESPANOL! wooohoo. SO every SUnday they
call up a few random missionaries to speak in the language they´re
learning. That morning I just knew I was gonna get called. I was
freaking out, like sooo nervous. and sure enough, I did!! ha but it
went well! The topic was la expiacion (look it up:) and it went relaly
well. And just wait there is more. THis SUnday I´m singing with my
district in sacrament meetiong. like what is life? i don´t sing. ha
and the best part is i´m singing the elder´s part because the
hermana´s is way too high for me! the 8 of us are singing oh holy
night, and i´m actually way excitied about it. where did this kallie
come from right? anyways this past p-day we went to the prado. for
those of you who don´t know what that is, it´s a famous catholic art
museum here in madrid. it was incredable. most the paintings are
really dark and the people depicted are very exposed (which is
slightly ironic for a group of missionaries, ha some of the elders
were freaking out) but it was beautiful, and i loved it! across the
street there was also this waygnarly sword shop! I loved it! we spent
a goood chunk of time there. oh i´m getting better at futball. I´ll
be basicallt pro by the time i get home, so watch out! AND HAPPY
THAANKSGIVINNG EVERYBODY! I hope you guys have tons of fun for me :)
I´m actually way pumped for today though. Hermana Lovell is going all
out, so it should be food. It was also really cool starting out this
thanksgiving day with the temple, and i had a really meaningful
experiance. I was in the celestial room praying and before i closed my
paryer I just stopped and listend to the spiri, and I kid you not i
heard heavenly father´s response to me as clear as day in what i would
think to be his voice. it was crazy, amazing, and everything else. It
was so clear att first, i thought the whole room heard, but i looked
up and it was just to me, in my mind. llike i wish i had the gift of
writing well so i could just describe this more clearly to you, but
just know god is real, he loves us, and answers our prayers.
(sometimes more clearly and directly than others) When I finished my
parayer today the tears were definitely streaming, and I know with all
my heart that i have a father in heaven who loves me and has been by
my side every step of the way through this whole experiance. Anyways I
love you all (even you ash, but next week you better write me!) I´m so
grateful for all the emails, and support. Mail is really like gold
here. Have the best week, and I´ll hear from you all soon!! -hermana
