Hola Mi Familia!
Ah! This computer is
being dumb so forgive me if not everything gets capatalized!
OH MY HECK!!!! what a
crazy past 4 1/2 days! I don't even know where to begin.... so mom and company
dropped me off on wednesday afternoon and we went and got my name tags,
language books and scriptures. they give us a really nice pair of spanish
scriptures. I then had to drop my bags off real quick like and go meet our
district. We have a pretty good group of guys who are pretty fun for the most
part.... ;) My comp is Elder Eggers from Sacramento. Ha! I don't really
know what to tell you about him. He snores REALLY LOUDLY at night!
We wake up at 6 AM so we
can get in the shower before everyone and won't have to wait in line. Our
schedule is different everyday but we usually have meals at the same time each
day. Life gets pretty tedious sitting in desks all day long. I've already
learne so much though! I can pray in spanish and bear my testimony in spanish
and that is just within the first 2 days! I'm a lot more advanced than everyone
in my district and know a lot more than them. They are always asking me
questions. I have the opportunity to test out and go to a highter class, but
that would involve changing teachers, districs, rooms, ect. And i just got
adjusted so I don't know if I want to change. What we are doing is a good
review for me though. So we've already taught 2 lessons in spanish to an
investigator! It is diffucult, but coming along. the investigator is acutally
my RA from last semster! ha! it's great! I came with him the MTC TRC to
volunteer last semester and he mentioned he was going to try and get a job
here. guess he did... It's weird teaching him cause I know who he really is and
can't just talk to him as his own self cause he's an "investigator" anyway...
So I saw jared and
Wesley and a few other guys from my student ward the 1st day I was here! Ah! It
was so good to see them! I've missed them both so much! Unfortunatley our
schedules aren't the same so I haven't seem them at all since. I did see Jared
at the fireside last night.
So it snowed
yesterday! Like basically the whole day. really didn't stop at all. So
unfortunately we didn't get to go on our temple walk. sundays are pretty chill.
we have like 8 hours total of personal study. It's great...i guess.... we also
have to prepare a 5 minute talk in spanish on the subject of last week's
sacrament meeting and during the current week's sacrament meeting they will
call on 2 missionaries to give their talks. luckily they won't call on us for a
few weeks since we are new. I also went to choir yesterday! it was powerful! I
felt like I was singing a song in general confernece! I hope we get to sing in
priesthood session! that would be awesome! i finally saw elder branning at
choir! we talked and introduced ourselves! he seems like a pretty cool guy!
well things are going
well I guess. it's hard and discouraging already, but at the same time
uplifting and exciting! thanks for the package mom! made my day! i appreciate
all of you letters and words of encrouagement! They are uplifting during hard
times! tell people to write me...it makes me feel special!
well, I'm about out of
time so I should go soon! I already LOVE being a missionary soo much!!!! It
really is the greatest ever! The spirit is so fantastic here and it is great
being with other people that are here for the same purpose! i hope I haven't
left anything out....
Well i LOVE being a
missionary and missionary work!
I miss and love you all
