Dear Family and Friends,
Hello! I hope that you all are doing great!!
Ashley sent me a list of questions this week, so I thought it would be fun to try and answer them in my email.
How is your Spanish coming along? Are you thinking in Spanish more than English? I guess you have more contact with English speaking people so you're probably not losing your grasp of English as much as Eric might be.
My Spanish is good. I am understanding better and better and can usually express myself without too much of a struggle. Still room for improvement for sure. I think I still think mostly in English because, like she mentions, we do a lot in English. And recently most of our contacts and the people who answer doors we knock on speak English! So don't think I can afford to lose it (:

What lesson is the hardest to teach and why? What lesson is your favorite to teach?
Probably the Plan of Salvation is the most difficult because there is so much that I know and understand about it, but when you're teaching someone for the first time you have to focus on what is most important. My favorite: the first lesson, the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
What are some favorite scriptures for you lately? Any inspiring quotes?
D&C 123:17 We have this one on our bulletin board right now. A quote I really like right now is "The attitude of urgency is happiness."
Eating seafood lately? Here in Florida we went to a place that was kind of like an indoor fish market and we got some shrimp that they cooked for us with medium heat spices and lemon. They were really good, but spicier than I thought. My nose started running and my eyes got watery. But like I said the shrimp was delicious and just writing about it makes me want more.
Nope, not lately. Not since Napa, actually. Yay!

Favorite hymns?
Hermana Ellsworth and I have enjoyed singing to people, especially members who feed us. We even tried doing it when we knocked on doors one day. Only one person wanted us to sing, but it was really good. Our favorites to do are Nearer My God to Thee and In Humility Our Savior.
Hermana Ellsworth and I are doing well. We've been walking a lot this week, trying to just be able to talk to more people and find more who we can teach!
Thank you so much for your prayers. I'm so grateful for all your love and support.
Love,
Hermana Brighton
I am so glad you include singing in your lessons. You know how much music brings the spirit, and you have such a beautiful voice, it can bring that spirit quickly. tha is so wonderful! I wish I could sing with you!
