I'm feeling much better and we were able to work a lot! We taught over 20 lessons, and were able to talk to a lot of people. I feel as though I am learning a lot and able to speak more everyday. I need to learn to speak less in English, because it's just too easy to do so when you have an American companion and are trying to communicate! But nevertheless I do feel as though I am able to apply what I know and learn more constantly. And I love trying to communicate with native speakers. They are all more than willing to help me improve and learn more, and are patient and general able to get the gist of what I say. Not that I say much yet! There was this wonderful family we visited with this week with 3 little boys and a little girl. She is 4 years old and speaks WAY more spanish then I do. It was great being able to be with their family nonetheless, all of the kids were more then excited to try and help me learn new words, and the 8 year old was very bright. He answered essentially all of the questions throughout our lesson!
We also moved from our rather large and smelly house to a smaller and newer house. We had a small second story to our first house, which had a bedroom and a washroom, and it smelt something awful. Luckily the entrance to the upstairs was arranged just so that we could block that part off. But, some days this smell would leek through the door. It was fairly central in our area, and the new house is more along a border, but our area isn't that large so it really dosn't make that much of a difference. Anyways, when a member offered us to rent her house, we jumped at the chance! So we spent most of the day moving and are running a little late.
I learned that sister missionaries only serve in just a few cities here in the mission. Sadly, these areas do not include the one part of Hermosillo that gets snow! But apparently it does get down to about 15 celsius here during the night in the winter, so I have some cooler weather to look forward too. All in all, the heat was a lot better this week. It wasn't so shocking when we left air conditioned areas. Actually, I am starting to find air conditioning a little chilly sometimes, instead of just almost being relieving. I still run hotter then basically everyone here, but I have hope that I can continue to adjust to a desert climate!
