1) I'm comfortable around people who are speaking a different language, so it's not weird going to another country and not having a clue what the people are saying. That could come in handy.
2) I've gotten to experience a little bit of what it's like to go halfway across the world and realize that the Gospel is the same and is as true here as it is anywhere. In every language and every culture the same things are being taught and that's comforting to have the familiarity so far from home.
3) If you just immerse yourself in another culture you'll learn to appreciate it so much more than you would if you stay in your comfort zone and just look on. The people in my ward are so sweet and they all love each other so much.
4) Patience is a virtue. You develop patience in frustrating situations and with perseverance.
5) I won't have kids for a long time. I love them...but that will come far in the future.
This is Pedro and his sister Beatrice. Don't tell, but they are my favorite kids in the class. Whenever I would ask him if he'd done something nice for someone the week before Pedro would talk about helping his sister. He like to do headstands in class and yell...And Bea always showed me what she learned in ballet and how high she could jump. Adorable.
This is Pedro dancing. He's really good...as you can see. Such a funny kid.
