1.2.2013


Whats up all!!!

So this weeks been great! I've learned and grown so much.  

I don't think I've ever felt the spirit as much as I did on Monday. Our teacher was amazing!  We had to teach a lesson to him as he pretended to be deaf and mute.  It was so awesome and as long as you relied on the spirit.  

After we taught we had a mini testimony meeting and it was awesome! I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but we have the best district in the MTC.  

To answer some of your questions: Dad I'm in the beginner Spanish class.  I am probably the second best in my district in Spanish.  

The only person that is probably better than me is moving into a higher class starting tonight. He is from France and he took five years high school Spanish. My companion does not try very hard to learn the language, and it is kind of frustrating.  He almost never understands what is being said in class.   

I've seen Stetson five or six times, but i almost never have time to talk to him.  I've seen one or two people I recognize, but don't know all that well.  

My district has ten elders and no sisters which is quite unusual.  Most districts have at least a companionship of sisters. Four of us are going to Guatemala, four are going to Chile Santiago west, one to Honduras, and one to France.  The one that is going to France is speaking both Spanish and French.   

There are four people to a room and I have a top bunk.  

As far as my teachers go, I've had like six or seven different ones because of the holidays.  Now that those are all over things will be a little more consistent.   

I got all my travel information for Guatemala.  I'm set to leave on the 8th, but I won't find out till three or four days before if I'm actually gonna go or not.  So if you have any packages for me, it better get here in the next week or else I probably won't get it.  

A few things that would be nice to have are another Long sleeve white shirt, some more snacks (that are not candy), and some more pictures (especially of friends).  

The craziest thing to happen this week is the plague!  Everyone was getting sick starting yesterday!  My district only had like three people left that aren't sick.  We are pretty sure that it is just food poisoning but were not sure.  As of right now I'm perfectly fine so cross your fingers.  

I heard Parker had his farewell on Sunday.  I know he did great.  I still might be able to see him, but we'll see.  I've only been here for two weeks and the monotony is getting old.  Going to Guatemala would be a good change of pace.  Also if I go to Guatemala I will pick up the language much quicker, and I will be able to go to the temple there in Guatemala which would be awesome.  I have not been able to go to the temple since Ive been here because Provo has been getting cleaned.  

Anyways my time is almost up.  Say hello to everyone for me.  I love and miss you all
