Sister Betti!

No one can pronounce my name here.  I try to say it really slow and pronounce all the syllables, but they still have difficulty.  I think I'll just go by Sister Betti.  :)

My English and Spanish Don't Mix!

Last Sunday, during the Spanish Ward, I had to do English translation during sacrament meeting.  It was super hard, but super fun!  I learned that in my mind, English and Spanish simply don't mix.  I was trying to listen to what was said in Spanish so I could translate it in English, but then I would find myself just repeating what was said in Spanish.  I somehow managed to get the message of the talk across and the English-speaking members understood it and even felt the spirit!  Apparently, I look like the Ward Mission Leader's daughter.  Everyone was telling me that yesterday.  It was so funny!  I don't think we look alike, but apparently everyone else did!

Happy People!

My "new" area is SO different than the last two areas I've been in!  We are surrounded completely by tourist destinations.  Most of the people living here work for resorts or hotels.  There is a lot more Spanish and it is a lower economic area.  That is okay though, the people seem so happy here.  We are in two wards, a Spanish one that meets in a tiny chapel in one city, and an English one - which meets in another.  We didn't get to go to the English Ward last Sunday, so I have yet to meet anyone there.
