20 is scary

this week. was a week of much deep reflection about my life. turning 20 is very scary and i don't feel like i'm 20. i remember looking at people who were 20 and thinking they were so big. oh goodness that's not me. 

this week i had the chance to talk to 2 of my favorite missionaries, elder foley and elder nielson. we talked a lot about life and i don't even think i can begin to thank them for all they've done for me. it really also showed me that the old generation is gone and that it's time that me and all of my friends really step it up and start showing the example. i'm scared.

i had the wonderful and also very tiring opportunity to translate for a german family this week in church. the thing about my translation is that one of the members decided to play a prank on my and only spoke in a tense that is used for formal speeches and writing. it made my brain hurt but it also made me realize that i have been so blessed with the gift of tongues. i hope that because of my service on my mission that i can continue to bless people around me with all the things i've learned.

this week i saw the role of recent converts in helping new people have friends at church. out recent convert chantal took it on herself to befriend our ami anne. she sat by her at church because it was off translating and i looked over and saw her answering questions and doing things i would normally do. i'm so grateful for the blessing chantal has been in my life
