Days feel like weeks... Especially when your sick :(


Don’t forget that this Friday, February 15th is Elder Pickle’s Birthday. I am hoping that everyone will take a minute on Thursday night or Friday morning to get on dearelder.com and write him a quick note wishing him Happy Birthday and giving him a few words of encouragement. If you have never used dearelder.com before just email me  (wendy@wendypickle.com) your message and I will take care of it for you. Thanks, let's fill up his mailbox on his birthday!
Hi! How are things going? I just got your dear Elder about Hallie taking the discussions and your young women's lesson. I haven't been sick this whole time until yesterday the day I got the letter :P Hopefully I will be able to get over it rather fast! I took some Ibuprofen and sudafedrine for it and the branch president said to go to the medical clinic where they told me to take exactly what I was taking, ha ha so hopefully that will be done soon! You should write more about what is going on at home, I miss you guys and don't know anything that is going on! It is my one chance to get a small taste of what happened!
Not too much has been happening here.. We met with the visa reps and consul like I told you. So we're really hoping that we will hear back from them in the two weeks so that we can leave by our expected date! I don't particularly want to get a temp assignment because then you have to stay until the next transfer date which is every six weeks. We have been learning a lot about Spanish such as commands, conditional tense, passive voice, and started learning about the subjunctive. The time here seems to be passing faster and faster. When we started out each day felt like a week but now they go by a lot faster, although they still feel like a week, ha ha While time does seem to be passing faster it also seems like I should have been here longer than I have. It feels like I have been here months. I really miss you guys and hope that all is going well! If you have any questions about stuff here, just ask because I don't know exactly what to write about and if I had a direction it would be a lot easier to write more.
We haven't got any new districts this week because they made a new zone that is the same kind as our zone, Spanish intermediate, and we lost one of our newest districts to that zone. We were all sad about that. I am getting really excited to go out to the field because here it seems like everyday is the same. Anything different in in the day is nice. I am excited to have an opportunity of having new experiences and not doing the same thing everyday, ha ha
Even though I am not a runner I have had to become accustomed to in here since we can't swim. I have been running an average of 3 miles a day. I would be able to do a lot better if my legs weren't so weak, ha ha I feel like I could run forever but my legs kill and that is what eventually makes me stop. I did learn just yesterday however some exercises that I can do to strengthen them from a runner. I think that will help and make me not so bad at running :P
Well I need to save some time to send some pictures so I'll wrap this up and write a letter for what ever else I think of! I love you guys so much and miss you everyday!
