Not Fair!
As I have mentioned, my sister is serving her mission in New York. She left the MTC last monday. She sent out an email telling everyone about her first week there. All I have to say is that I am jealous. First she has one baptism she is preparing for and 3 more that are close. I spent my mission and all I got was one and I felt like he was not ready for it, but my companion pushed it. I know a mission is not about how many baptisms you get, but it still hurts a little. Second and this is the one that really hurts. Her mission president has asked her to learn spanish. That is not fair. I have wanted to learn spanish my whole life. I have even taken classes and have not had much luck with them. So when I went on my mission I had hope to go spanish speaking; nope I went english. Then when I got to the field my mission president wanted me to learn spanish. I got excited, but it didn't last. After six weeks, he sent back to english and made me promise I would not read/study spanish anymore for the rest of my mission. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for my "twin" because she wants to learn spanish just like I do (it is in our blood/who we are). Good luck Amy and may God bless you with the ability to learn quickly and remember always.

COBRA!! i m sorry you feel like that! I felt really happy about Amy learning spanish when I read her email yesterday, but I also got really excited when you where in your mission and they asked you to learn spanish as well!
If you really really want to learn spanish you can listen to music(that you like) in spanish, or movies in spanish...That is how Samy learned english and to the date I cannot believe she didn't even take english classes!!
anyway, you are awesome and I think you can learn!!
good luck cobra!
Well dear, I guess that just means I'll have to get that pack at Barnes and Noble that I want to teach you spanish and we'll just have to learn it together! :)
Hey, if I let the jealousy feelings creep in I'd feel the same. To be honest, I still don't know as much espanol as I'd like. The only thing that helps is to force myself to practice and learn. No one can do it for you, ya gotta work -- at least I do to get it.
