Hablo Español

I hit a milestone today!
At church I made a comment in Relief Society in SPANISH!

I've had no problem reading in Spanish from quotes or the scriptures, because I've had the pronounciations down since high school....gracias Señora Hernandez y Sra. Belingheri. But I haven't had the guts to randomly make a comment in Spanish, especially since it is difficult to follow what they are saying since everyone TALKS SO BLOODY FAST!

But today the teacher broke us up into groups and handed us questions. My awesome partner allowed me to do the honors.

I always want to remember what was the first fluent thing I said in Church in Spanish.

Here was the question.
¿Cuales son algunos de los ralatos de las Escrituras que le han inspirado?

And I said:
En el Libro de Mormon, el historia de familia de Nefi. Nefi tiene mucho fe, pero sus hermanos no tienen fe. Cuando su familia no tienen fe, es muy dificil vivir por los mandamientos.

Its a very 'primary' answer, but that suits it being my 'primero tiempo' answering in Spanish.

It really felt like such a great accomplishment. I've come a long way since October. And I can't wait to bust it out fluently all the time. Next stop...bearing my testimony in Spanish on Fast Sunday!
