this week has flown by and i love being a missionary!!!!! its the greatest thing i have even done! i have a lot to cover in like no time! erin did you make student council!? how did your dance go!?
oh before i forget we dont have a set p day so email me before monday plz bc its either tuesday or wednesday and we dont know until the night before!!!
pray for me please with all your faith that i can increase my learning in spanish! I was doing really well but lately i have no been increasing and i am getting super frustrated! your prayers would mean so much to me! i pray for each and everyone of you every night!
its been a rollercoaster this week. an elder in my districts grandfather passed away and another elder went home. we have been able to sit in a lot of blessings this week. nothing like a bunch of worthy 19 year old boys bringing that type of spirit. it has been a huge learning experience for me.
also mom can i buy speakers down here or did you send mine?
last week after we emailed we went to the grocery store and the adiadas store to buy my comp running shoes. then we got completos, which were nasty but my ecuador skills are coming to use bc i was the only one able to get around in a taxi and order from the menu!! we also got fresh raspberries and strawberries. they were delicious.
the latinos we came with left this morning. it was so hard to say goodbye bc we all became such great friends. last night an elder from mexico took my scarf off and said i am going to keep this and give it to my wife haha in his broken english and then he took his tie off and said for the lucky man who gets to marry you. i about died laughing!! the latinos are so funny. so now i have a black tie instead of a really cute scarf but hey #MEMORIES
please tell martha thank you for the music! It literally saves me, i love the artists on the ipod! It keeps me sane.
my highlights included being served pizza and watermelon. god really does love us.
sundays are my favorite days in the ccm bc we dont have to learn spanish and the classes are in english. we had a member of the 70s elder barros speak to us in spanish...luckily i understood about 95 % of it. i love sitting in front of the temple on sundays and reading my scriptures.
oh also read elder hollands mtc 2011 provo address sometime this week! Its similar to the one he read in 2012 fall general conference. i loved the part where he said, how dare you teach others the gospel if you dont know for yourself that it is true. that hit me really hard this week. so i have began to read the bom in spanish this week and i am trying to finish before i leave. its kind of hard bc we dont have alot of extra time but i know it will bless me if i can complete it!
the things the elders say are hilarious! its like a little family! I love it so much.
i am really running out of time and once again i know this email was all over the place. however i have sent out a ton of letters that you should be getting in the next 3 weeks or so!
i love this gospel with all my heart. i feel the spirit constantly. the lord is always mindful of us. i cant believe its only been 2 weeks bc i have learned so much! I love the people of chile.
gods plan is perfect.
i love you all!
give elijah and jacob a big hug for me! also i said this in my letter but someone take them to hearts this week and buy them icees! bc i miss our treat runs! I love you to the moon and back!
