I began taking Spanish lessons on October 28th. It's really fun! I do them by Skype with my Maestra Danitza, who lives in Peru. It went really smoothly so I've signed up for weekly lessons. Last night I got my first homework - conjugating irregular verbs.
I am also moving forward with the prayer ministry. Next week I will facilitate (lead) for the first time. I'm nervous because I don't feel ready, but everyone is telling me that I am. Guess it's like the first time I ever broke boards in karate - the teacher knows when it's time for me to do it, even if I'm not so sure.
I talked with Jairo on October 25th. He has been very busy and has not talked to the elders again about me. He told me to send my letter to K2. I sent it on October 26th. When K2 sends the letter to him saying they support my mission, he will then address the elders. We talked about some other things too. It was cool because I had a lot of questions and he answered them before I even asked. He also suggested that I take Spanish lessons and I agree, it will be very helpful.
For now I will enjoy my Spanish lessons, get some skiing in this winter, and probably be here to see my neice or nephew born in April. Waiting patiently...
