hello everybody!
i'm so suprised that I've been here for five weeks. The weeks seem to go by faster and faster now. things are going good. Just trying to master spanish. this week for our TRC, which is like our test, we are teaching the first lesson en español! My companion and i just split up the topics and try to remember as many things about the subjects we have. so i can kinda give half of the lesson by myself! We still have a lot of things to work on, like actually including our investigators in the lesson. Because in spanish its so hard just to think of a question to ask them, so at the moment its like we are giving them a lecture. ha its okay though i know that in time we will get good at this. We are memorizing some things in spanish like the ariticles of faith. I'm on the 4th one now.
well things with my companion are... going i should say. He can be really hard to get along with. like he gets into aurguments with everyone in class. one of the things he said was and i quote because i thought it was so rediculous," stupidity is one of my pet peevs" or one time i told him he needs to learn how to hold his tounge, and he just said that he couldn't on this one. But its okay, i get over it.
so thats about how the MTC is going for me. I'm not sick or anything, feeling fine. Hah one time for lunch actually just the other day i ate four plates of food: two bacon/Guac. burgers, and two Gyros. They were good. oh and two little salad bowls. umm yummy. We had a Devotional last night, given to us by Elder H. Ross Workman, emmitus member of the quorom of the seventy. It was really great, he talked about a lot of things, some things were about softening our hearts. he said that when we our hearts are hardened the spirit cannot penetrate it. So that made me think that i need to open my heart to others(my companion), and be more understanding of others(my companion). he said some really great things last night. then we had a district devotional, which was fantastic. i felt the spirit many times! Love it. Love the Elders in my district.
So last week, Sunday, they were supossed to change the district leader, but E. Christensen(our DL) said he was talking to Our Branch President, President Peters, and from what he said, it sounded like Pres. peters didn't know it was time to change the DL. So either we will have a change this coming sunday, or E. christensen will be our DL for the rest of the time. Before we knew about this, we were all saying who might become the new DL, most of the elders were saying it was going to be me... so thats kinda exciting. Oh also on sunday we changed from senior companion to junior companion. So now im the senior comp! Oh yeah now E. Harvey will have to listen to what i want to do! hah just kidding i ask him what he wants to do all the time, so it doesn't seem like a dictatorship. Although that was kinda how it was when he was senior comp. Not going to lie.
Hah for P-day today some of the elders in our district say we are going to make a commercial or a tv show for our spare time today. its going to be way funny. we'll see how it goes. sorry if i don't all write you today, its hard to write everybody today. so many letters.
Oh mom so i put on the doc martins today to test them out. Ha and i think its ways funny, because the souls are like atleast an inch thick, so i go up to E. Christensen, who is taller than me, and now I'm taller than him! Ha its funny, i feel like I'm walking around with one inch lifts on. which is kinda what im doing. Also if you want lana to send that tie, that would be sweet, just put in some random candy; like junior mints or something. Sweet! Well thats about all i can think of what to say, well i love you all! i got to go i've got 30 seconds left! bye. Elder paulsemn
