May 19th Watermelon is the BEST!

Did you know that Watermelon is Sandia in spanish? And that it is the most refeshing and delicious thing after a day of walking around in the sun.
...That honey mustard DOES, in fact, exist here in Spain. Score!
...The bus system in Sevilla needs some polishing. I´ve known that for a while, but you probably didn´t :)
...If you spend too much time under a tree in Sevilla, you come away covered in little black bugs that smear when you try to brush them off. Bugs that smear+white shirt= not a good combination.
.... you should double check the expiration date on all deli meat before you eat it. Learned that the hard week last week
... that after having food poisioning often your stomach hurts for a few days when you eat because its still sore. Yup. Felt like an old lady taking my gas pills. With the pills I was fine, but yes, i had food poisoning. I think its the first time I´ve ever had it. Not my favorite thing in the world.

But besides the food poisioning (how in the world do you spell that? ), things are going well. Karina is doing awesome, we taught her what a patriarchal blessing is the other day and we´re going to show her how to start her family history this week. She´s awesome, I´m so blessed to know her. I´m so grateful for the chance I´ve had to work here in Sevilla. It´s been a rollercoaster, but when is life not a rollercoaster? Thats what keeps it intersesting, right?

And having a foundation solid in the gospel is what keeps me going. Even though its hard as a missionary, yeah, it´s always going to be hard. It´s life. But with the gospel, it is SO much easier. I recieve so much strength every week taking the sacrament and remembering my covenants. And prayer. Oh wow, prayers. Without praying, I know I wouldn´t be able to do this. There are some thoughts that can only be shared with my Heavenly Father, some problems that only He can help me with. We are so blessed as members to have access to these things and to have the gift of the Holy Ghost. I´ve been thinking about it a lot the last few days and we really are so, so blessed.

Love you all. I´m praying and thinking about you guys. Thanks for all your support, seriously. I´m positive I´ve recieved help many times because of your prayers. Email hugs!!!!
Loves,
Hermana Woolley
