January literally whizzed by at the Speed of Light (which I learned at school recently = 186,000 miles per second...ok I take it back)and here we are in February. The land of hearts and valentines, hot cocoa, and big nasty inversions with un-breathable air.
My Job
-I spend a good portion of my day watching and helping an autistic girl named Sarah, she likes to eat paper and tell me about her dog. But she's a genius and onw of the most big-hearted, sweetest people I know. I love her.
-I love hispanics. At school I work with and teach a lot--Mexicans, South America natives, all of them--they are the best people and now I wanna go Spanish Speaking. That is my dream.
-The african refugee kids l.o.v.e. my blonde hair and ask me if they can buy it. I'm not kidding. I usually tell them yes with a swinky winky.
-The kids are adorable, full of germs, but adorable nonetheless. I've only gotten sick three times in the month I've worked at APA so it's fine!
Missions. Missions Missions everywhere. I started my papers this week. My classmates that have already received calls put together a video of all the kids from my high school, and before we knew it was viral on Youtube. So cool! I almost put my picture in the last portion but decided not to. But I am so so excited for everyone.
Have a good on'!
Preparing to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Knoxville, Tennessee, Spanish speaking. Leaving August 28th 2013 to the Mexico City MTC! HOLA Y'ALL!
