Hermana Ostler’s Update – November 25, 2013

  

I am a mother of a big haired, loud, singing in every moment, Ecuatorina. I present to the world: Hermana Luque! She has the biggest heart and is so so so so so amazing. She cries every time she talks about her puppy. WE ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. She told me that everyone always says she is so strange for always singing, talking in weird voices, and just being really crazy. WELL, Hermana Luque, you have met your match! It has been so much fun. She lived in Spain for 13 years and so she talks with a lisp. Sometimes I just stare at her like, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING??? But I am getting used to it. She is also learning English from me and is always saying, “Thanks Heavenly Father for my puppy” in a very heavy Latin accent. It’s awesome.

I made a trip to the big city Cusco... and had a giant binge of English. There are so many gringo sisters there that I just love. We are going to be best friends when we get back. I love speaking in Spanish but there is something about talking in your own language. I left fat on english slang and a lot of worthless conversations about everything. I loved it.

Also. I still have my talent of having really precise memories about food. My sister Jessica emailed me to ask if I remembered what we ate after Dan’s dissertation. I was really, really worried and anxious because for a moment I COULD NOT REMEMBER! Yeah, but then after 5 seconds I could recall what I ate before, after, and during this event in time. Bring it! I challenge you to challenge me to remember what we ate after whatever moment we have had together. DO IT. Do it and be amazed.

And I realize that my English is awful. I will need to practice writing in English more.

Love you all!!
