Well I've been out for exactly 2 months! How weird is that? It seems like no time but also forever! I'm gonna try to send pictures let's hope it works!
This week nothing that exciting happened to be honest. Well besides the fact that I caught an over mitt on fire....hahaha :) And my Companion taught me a new phrase. "Soy patosa" It means I am a klutz hahaha yeah...she calls me that daily. It's bad. But it's my life. What's new.
Our heater/hot water like to stop working a lot which is...fun. So that happens at least once a week. Sometimes we can fix it sometimes we can't. It's great..haha
So on Thursday I went to the doctor and they told me I have tendinitis. I swear only I would get tendinitis at the age of 20. So they told me to rest for 3 days or so and if it doesn't get better within 5 days go to a specialist. So I sat at home Friday and Saturday (it was torture) And then Sunday we went to church and at night I went to a members house and my companion went out with another member so she could work! The members I was staying with spoke English so that was nice :) They're super awesome! It was nice. Then we had Noche de Hogar with them and I went home! My foot was hurting a lot last night but this morning I woke up and guess what? THERE CAN BE MIRACLES IF YOU BELIEVEEEEE! My foot doesn't hurt! Best day of my life. We still took it easy today and it hurts a tiny bit it's nothing I can't handle :) So I'm hoping it continues to get better!
The ward is super great and were all super worried about me :) Saturday 2 ward members came over to talk and keep us company and of course brought us food :) They're the best. Also I met the bishops daughter who served a mission in the LA visitors center!! So cool! So we talked for awhile! There's also a girl in our ward going on her mission to the SLC visitors center! It's awesome!
I love you all! Sorry I don't have much to report on this weeek...but I do have pictures! nevermind...it doesn't work..I'm sorry :( I'll find a way one of these weeks I promise! Maybe I'll just send the SD card home and then you can send it back ? I'm not sure.
I love you all!
Love, Hermana Terrazas :)

Week 2
Hola!
Well this week...it was tough. That "little foot thing" I mentioned last week was more than little. I went to the hospital on Friday (not because it was an emergency but because all the other doctors are on vacation) and they think it's either tendinitis or my nerves. Story of my life. haha sooo they told me to try not to walk on it (kind of impossible seeing as I'm a missionary...) and I have to go get an eco to see the tendons. I'm not sure what will come of it but it's been a struggle. Thursday-Saturday were a struggle. I just wanted to go home my foot hurt insanely bad but I was still working because I can't just sit at home. But it was to the point where every step I took I would start crying because it's an insanely sharp pain.
Well Saturday night I decided no I wasn't going home and I prayed and started my fast with the decision that I was staying. That night we went to a baptism in our ward but for one of the Elders and it was so amazing! The spirit was so strong and I was like yeah okay, what was I thinking. I'm staying. I'm meant to be here!
Sunday morning it still hurt and then after church it just didn't hurt anymore...it still hurts but not as bad! So that's a blessing! It didn't hurt walking to our citas at all but killed when I was trying to sleep, but I can live with that! They gave me anti-inflammatory and I think that's helping! Hermana Flores told me to take it easy still but I probably won't...there's just something in you when your a missionary where you can't just "take it easy" there's too much to do!!!! But we'll see what this week brings. My companion and district are awesome and always seeing how they can help and how I'm feeling!
So my companion gave me this stocking and it has all the trainers and trainees in my "family tree" it goes all the way back to 2001!!!! SO COOL!!!! I forgot to take a picture of it but I'll try to remember for next week! It's pretty exciting!
Okay, I have a favor to ask everyone! SO LISTEN UP! PLEASE :) My companions birthday is February 28th (hmm someone else I love a whole tons birthday is that day too ;) ) and she collects pictures of temples like the pass along cards,so if you could could you just put one of your temple in an envelope and send it? pretty pretty please?! I gave her the one I had of Portland and she was so ecstatic! SO like Dallas and Rexburg, Idaho Falls. Just whatever you can I would really appreciate it! :)
Well I was gonna send pictures but it won't let me...but I'll try next week :)
Investigators! We found an AWESOME family! The wife is a less-active and her husband and two sons aren't members but we went to do a Noche de Hogar with them last Monday and the son just kept saying how much he wanted to go to church!!! And the husband was SO receptive & has so much faith! It was the most amazing lesson I've ever had. The spirit was so strong! They said they couldn't come to church but then on Sunday guess who walked through the door?!??!!? The wife didn't she was at work but the husband and two sons!!! We're going there tonight and I can't wait :)
So at Ingles class I was talking to Kim (our Korean investigator) and we were talking about the church! She goes EVERY week and she reads the Book of Mormon and I was going to ask her to be baptized but then our other investigator cut it and made an inappropriate comment about me and the spirit left. I was devastated. We're giving him to the Elders to teach. Hopefully Wednesday I can ask her to be baptized!
So just so you all know that I'm still the same 'ol Ruth Saturday I was doing dishes and I smashed my thumb bad in the cupboard and I was like really whatever, so I went to start cooking and our stove is ghetto so it doesn't just turn on you have to turn the gas on and then light a match and start it like that. Well I went to do that but the door was open and the wind and I completely burned my finger. My companion was on the ground dying of laughter and I looked down...my finger was BLACK from being burned and I look at my thumb and it's swollen HUGE and blue. it's brown and black right now and still super swollen. So yeah...haven't changed :)
On Sunday we went to a members house and guess what?! Her name....is RUTH!!! AND she has a hurt left knee. AND she served a mission. Yeah she's my favorite. She actually met her husband at the CCM, it was super funny cause we were making fun of that and they showed us pictures from their missions and fed us! That was super nice because the members don't really feed us here.
Well that was my week...tough but it was good! My companion is awesome and tried so hard to make me feel better and loved :)
I love you all!
Love, Hermana Terrazas :)

More!
Sorry I forgot stuff! My brain is scattered. Okay so first things first.
OLA
Orar (pray EVERY day)
Leer (read the Book of Mormon every day!)
Asistir a la iglesia ( go to church every sunday)
Do those things I promise they help.
Also every time I tell someone my name they laugh forever. It's getting a little old but I also love it at the same time.
I ate cow stomach. My companion didn't feel the need to tell me...rude. haha she just laughed at me and told me the next morning!!! A member made it for us but put it in Tupperware since we had to go so I ate it when we got home..yeah. It didn't taste bad but the texture was disgusting. I only had a bite or two and then ate the rest of the stuff.
Also my embarrassing moment, a member asked if I liked Terrassa...I said "Mucho gusto Terrassa" that means nice to meet you Terrassa. I'm such an idiot. haha Terrassa is super poor and ghetto. so that was awkward.
Also MIRACLE! My knee doesn't hurt! It just stopped hurting the second day in the field. Occasionally it will hurt when I'm in my piso but never when I'm out and about! I'm so grateful for that. I mean I may or may not have a hurt foot but we don't need to talk about that...hehe :)
Well I think that's it but probably not. haha
OH! for RICKY and Phillip and Katie! I saw Ricky when we were watching a devo from the MTC in Provo!! I freaked out and was super excited haha. So yeah!
Love,
Hermana Terrazas :)

First Week in Terrassa :)
Hola mi familia y amigos!!!!! :)
¿Que Tal?
First things first, my address for the next while (probably 11 weeks maybe 5) is:
Hermana Ruth Terrazas
c/D'Egara Nº164, 1º1
CP: 08225
Terrassa
España
So feel free to write me. :)
I can't believe I'm a missionary! It's crazy. so I'm just gonna do a break down of my week I feel like thats the easiest thing haha
Wednesday:
So we had to all go do resident things with the office elders we went to the police station and got finger printed, I felt bad for the elders it was like they were babysitting 20 girls haha oh well! They bought us donuts :) It was so nice of them! Then we went to the church and were just waiting in a room for 2 hours while our trainers were being trained. It was FREEZING, literally felt like an ice box. I hated every minute haha then we got pizza and had a meeting and then TRAINERS! You already know who mine is obviously, but the way we got them was so different than at home. He says it and literally everyone yells and claps and your trainer comes running up and tackles you in a huge hug. I loved it :) Then we had to get my stuff to Terrassa...uhh yeah I'm getting rid of stuff. worst experience of mi vida.
Thursday: we went grocery shopping, food is SO cheap here. It's unreal. and then we had a cita (appointment) and I taught English to a little girl, they're not members so we teach English for half an hour and read the Book of Mormon for the other half hour. I love it :) Teaching English is so much fun! At the end of the night it was getting hard, I was cold and just thinking why am I here...well on the bus home my companion (she's amazing) all of a sudden told me she was praying for me and her old companion and the district leader and that I was a miracle and that she's so grateful I'm here. She is AWESOME! At first I was scared because she doesn't speak much English and it's just different cultures but we get along awesome, we're always laughing! She's almost 23. She's taught me a ton, one thing is after we pray she always just sits for a couple seconds to just keep the spirit and I love it. We can't just rush up out of a prayer, we need to wait for answers!!!
Friday: we had district meeting! Luckily they did it in English :) afterwards we get lunch as a district, its 4 elders and then us 2 hermanas. They're so funny. I swear I knew all of them before, I mean I've never met them but they seem so familiar, it's strange. SO we went a got kebab, not like a kebab in the US I'm not even sure what it was...it was weird but pretty good! We had a cita with A. who is an investigator...but we had to have a member go with us because the first night I met him apparently he said some pretty inappropriate stuff about me so Elder Johnson told us to be careful, he's pretty flirty and tries to call me princessa, every time he does I say NO it's HERMANA TERRAZAS. So we brought a member so he was better, but we're gonna give him to the Elders... it's just not comfortable. But I know he needs to be baptized and I know I need to help him. so frustrating. There's a less active named C. she has a little girl who reminds me of a Spanish Adalynne. Oh my gosh it makes me so happy. She clicked with me from the start. We're best friends. She's 3 years old and speaks better Spanish then me...so there's that haha.
Saturday: It was hard, there were so many people who needed help and I don't speak Spanish and I just want to help them. We went to a less actives house (there are so many less active it breaks my heart) and she is getting a divorce, she just found out a bunch of stuff and was just crying and thanking us for stopping by. My companion is inspired! I taught English again! :) To a daughter and mother. They're super cute. I love hearing them speak English!
Sunday: So church was interesting. Our whole district is in our ward so there are 6 of us missionaries. WEIRD. The leaders don't support us very much and they fight with my companion a lot, I'm not sure why because well...I don't speak Spanish haha but some are super sweet. Apparently the ward was praying for hermanas for YEARS and they just got them like 6 months ago so they want us to visit ALL the less actives not the Elders, but we have areas, so it's complicated. But we have permission if they specifically ask US to come we go, even if it's not technically in our area. There's a family in the ward from.......CALIFORNIA! Tender mercy. I had someone to talk to!!! During sacrament meeting I hear "dos nuevo missioneros" I thought he was just welcoming us...nope I had to go up and bear my testimony. Scariest day of my life. Everyone just stared at me until my companion was like uhh...go. and I was like OH! That's what they said. haha oops. we had a MIRACLE! So we went to an old investigators house and her and her daughter said we could come back so that's super exciting & then we went to rush to a Noche de Hogar with our ward mission leader (who's also inactive) and they cancelled. So we were sitting on a bench calling people & I just wanted to go back to the piso. Well we started walking to stop by an investigators work & my comp stopped me & was like okay we're going to practice so you can talk & I really didn't want to.. but I did & we ended up just laughing as we were practicing and this guy walked by twice so we talked to him. HE TOOK A BOOK OF MORMON!! And we set up a cita with him for Sabado :) He has a wife and daughter!!! Such a tender mercy.
So that's the break down of my week. Sorry it's so long there's just so much to talk about! I love my companion, I'm so lucky I have her, we don't always know what the other one is saying but we always just laugh about it. Her and the other Spaniard in our piso were friends from before the mission!! How cool! Savannah you could just come to Spain and we could live together ;) haha. They are so funny. They just call me princess...it´s a little odd. but Hermana Focu...I'm not sure how to spell it there's more I just don't know it, anyways she doesn't speak any English so we don't really talk but we love each other. I love my piso. It's always freezing literally every house every church every where is cold. And it's rude to leave your coat on so pretty sure I'm going to die of hypothermia one of these days. haha but seriously. Well I love you all!
Love,
Hermana Terrazas :)

This is Real Life.
Hola!!!!
Well this is real, I am a missionary and I have a companion and everything!!! So get this...my area is TERRASSA.
What?!
When President announced it everyone just laughed because he said "Hermana Terrazas, do you like people who speak Spanish a lot? And I said yes...and he said okay well how would you like to go somewhere that sounds exactly like your last name?" And then me and my companion freaked out because she's the one I was temporarily placed with last night!!
So I already knew her, my district leader, some other Elders and members of the ward! Oh and the other Hermanas we live with! My companion is Hermana Stanciu. She's awesome! She will teach me a lot, I know it. Today has been a super long day we didn't get to our area till 8:30 tonight and went straight to teaching English class where two of our investigators were!

I'm Here!
Well this is it! This is real life. I am in Barcelona!!!! I don't have a trainer yet, I'll get one tomorrow but tonight I'm with Hermana Staciu she's from Romania/Spain and is super nice! We're going to an fhe for the ward! Today we got off the train, went and had breakfast, dropped off our bags, and then went to the mission home and got lunch and then went and toured some of Barcelona, I'll send pictures later. It's so beautiful here! Way different than Madrid that's for sure. I love it so much.
President and his wife are amazing! We had a huge lunch at the mission home and then had interviews with President. He's so loving! Him and Hermana Pace are so in love, it's probably the cutest thing I've ever witnessed. haha I can't believe I'm a missionary! Tonight I'm staying at the piso of my temporary companion! It's little, but nice. It's terrifying being here because I've realized my inadequacies with the language, and I'm terrified to go to the Fhe but I am also so excited!!!! Well I love you all, I only had 5 minutes to let you know that I was safe. I'll write on Monday! Be safe.
Love, Hermana Terrazas :)

This is Real Life!
Well this is it, tomorrow morning I head to BARCELONA!!!! At 4 am...yuck, but nonetheless I'm going to be a (as me and my comp say) Big Kid Missionary!!!! We get on a train super early tomorrow morning, and head down! Its like a 3 hour train ride I believe and then we tour Barcelona, have meetings and proselyte! The next day we get our trainers! I'm so unbelievably nervous to go... it's scary but I'm sure it will be great...right now I'm just scared honestly haha. But what's new. I only have 10 min so I can't answer emails but I will my next P-day, whenever that is...but as my teacher said we are supposed to email you to tell you "I'm headed to the lone and dreary world of Spain....so pray for me." haha he's great. I can't believe I'm going to be a real life missionary! Thank you for you examples to me familia. Te amo mucho. Yo se que la iglesia de jesucristo es verdad, yo se que el libro de mormon es verdad. I love you all and am praying for you.
Love, Hermana Terrazas :)
