I am doing really well, but I have had very little time to
write in my journal so I will try to remember the big things.
Well p day ended pretty well, we played kickball, and I
scored almost all the runs, but it turned a little painful when someone
got out and I had to run back to my base and they tossed the ball, and
Elder Hixson jumped up to catch it and I had to jump just barely around
him and as he came down to tag me with the the ball he got me in the
side of my chest with his elbow he knocked the wind out of me and it was
to say the least, painful, but it was okay, I had to get an ice pack to
put in my shirt to help it and I took my favorite drug, ibuprofen.
Wednesday was great I don't recall all we did but it was good, we got a talking to about not talking in Spanish enough.
Thursday was en 95% Espanol and I loved it it was fantastic, it
was hard but I loved it, I need to do it again everyday like that but
it is really difficult. I don't know how to keep it up but I have to.
Friday we got a class pet, it was a giant moth it was
huge it is as big as my hand. We let it go Sunday morning but we had it
for two days in one of our cupboards. Another district in our building
found a cat hiding under the stairs by the comedor (dining hall), and they took it in,
and kept it overnight,
Saturday they then gave it to reception, who gave it back to them
and our maestro (teacher) took it home with him in a box, it is so cute and small,
one of our hermanas (sisters) held it and loved it and it did the Charlie paw paw
purr. It is adorable.
Sunday is always fantastic we wrote our talks, and we
studied and played around. sacrament meeting was great I love it. I
wanted to speak again but it is okay. We had a class on testimony and
conversion. Testimony comes through prayer and study of the scriptures
and fe en Jesucristo, arrepentimiento bautismo la recepcion del don del
espiritu santo y el perserverar hasta el fin. (faith in Jesus Christ, Repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.)
conversion comes through arrepentimiento santa cena la recepcion
del don del espiritu santo y el perserverar hasta el fin. (Repentance, Sacrament, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end) Then repeat,
have Travis help you with that. We had a great devotional by Jeffery R.
Holland and it was about how every dispensation prior knew they knew
that they would fail. yet they did they worked and failed so that ours
could and would, and will succeed. We have to be the best missionaries
the world has ever seen we have to outdo the ancients by a lot, but we
can do it because there are 80000 of us and the almighty God and his son
our savior and redeemer Jesucristo. (Jesus Christ)
The movies were also nice but nothing really topped Elder Holland's talk
Monday, yesterday, was nice and we worked on stuff, and we helped teach another
class some Spanish, TALL is an adventure, and the annoying elder is gone! Oh I got your dear elders with the talk on Thursday and I have been
sharing the guys talk ever since, with everyone, it is awesome. And that
sums up my week I saw Paul and he is kind of sick but don't tell his mom
his room mates apparently have had it worse so he is okay but ya.
We played soccer and basketball, the elders in my district are
trying to scare each other and it is amusing so that is the big letter
love
