Hola everyone!!!
Ok this email
will be a lot better! I am kinda getting into the swing of things!!
So to start we
went to the mexico city temple!! Everything was in spanish but it was so good!!
The spirit that was there was amazing. When I got to the celestial room the
power of the spirit was indescribable. it filled the entire room. I was in
there just praying for the longest time and i felt such peace.. it was
amazing!! I hope all you guys can go as much as possible. After that we went
back to the prison (the MTC) lol, with armed guards and a barbed wire fence
hahah.
Friday- Saturday
We just did the same old thing.. 15 hour days with classes ahahha and
studying the language over and over again. Every single day it rains here!!
Everyday... There’s a fire cracker that goes off every morning to signal a
fiesta that weekend hahaha and there are gun shots every night so its
definitely not Provo!! The teaching is getting better! I was finally able to
communicate and talk and understand spanish Wahooooooo!!!!!!!! Ok now time for
some gym time! this is the best time of the day besides getting mail and
letters! I play mostly volleyball so the games get pretty dang competitive!
First one to 7 wins. It actually gets so intense! We played and this guy is
like going to byu and set me perfectly i rocketed at this kid in my house and
it hit him in the chest and down he went lol the very next play i smashed it
again and hit another kid in the shoulder and it hit the exact same kid in the
face it was so funny!!!! He doesn’t like me any more so oh well! Then me
being all cocky I tried to hit it again hard and my dog tag hit my eye lol they
take injuries way serious so I had to wear an eye patch don’t judge lol! but im
all good no worries lol. This kid wants to challenge me to one on one-he’s a
juco kid hahah so ill let you guys know what happens next week with that!
Sunday was
good we just had meetings the whole day. Priesthood was so good!! the best part
was they catered chick fil a!!!!!!! ahhh so freaking good hahah im just
playin.. it was a solid slab of chicken lol! but they also served chicken bakes
that day! it was so good...im so over rice and beans!!
Monday-Wednesday
We
taught our investigator who was the teacher today and he was in a classroom and
we decided to walk in! We didn’t know it was like a legit thing so he started
yelling at us saying what are we doing in his house it was so funny!! oops so
note to self once the teacher leaves the classroom he’s in character lol!! Okay
for the story.. I’m teaching our investigator/teacher and I don’t know
anything.. all the sudden I asked him if I could start with a prayer. I prayed
for the spirit then all the sudden I was able to understand him and talk. I had
the best lesson ever. I was able to invite him to church bare my testimony about
the gospel and it was so amazing! I could speak spanish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then
when I closed and asked him about his life and told him to pray and read the
book of Mormon he said he would!!!! It was so amazing! We ended the lesson and
I had no idea what I said or what he was saying again it was the GIFT OF
TONGUES! Testimony is growing so much!!
umm the past
couple days apparently everyone knows of me and that im going to byu its pretty
funny. The Latinos will ask for autographs it’s hilarious!! We get to teach
little kids next week which im stoked for!!!!!! ahh im so excited for that! but
it’s been really good! My companion is so hairy! He shaves twice a day lol he’s
way good at spanish tho!!!
I
love you all!!! la comida es BASURA!!!!!!!!
