Hola mi familia y amigos!
It has been a pretty awesome, exciting, sad, and everything
else week haha. I don't even know where to start. We are still teaching the two
"investigators" if that's what you wanna call em they are really just
our teachers acting but we had some pretty awesome lessons. We are goin modo de
bestia on our lessons now! We can do our whole lesson in Spanish like no
problem no notes or anything so that makes me feel pretty good but all of our
lessons start out pretty rough cause our conversational Spanish kinda sucks
haha but it's alright it'll come even everyone that's like 7 to 9 weeks say
that they can teach no problem but they can't just have normal conversations, I
guess you just pick that up in the field ha. Sorry I do not have my Guatemala
MTC address yet we won't know until we get down there apparently since I don't
have it yet. Kinda some good news about the kid that was goin to El Salvador,
he can go to the Guatemala MTC with us he just doesn't know about serving in El
Salvador yet so we'll see what happens there. Last night we had a fireside from
um Sister Dew I can't remember her first name but she is the President of
Deseret Book and a pretty amazing lady, she talked a lot about just having
faith in Jesus Christ and the Atonement and using it, pretty awesome. Then we
watched a movie about the building of the Salt Lake Temple and that was freakin
sweet I learned a lot about that and I also learned the Provo Temple was built
and completed while construction was still goin on in Salt Lake so fun facts
everywhere ha. I'm kinda mad we're leaving tomoro cause they are having all the
new mission presidents come in next week for training and stuff I guess you
would call it but that means that general authorities are comin in so we'll
miss probably two talks at least from General Authorities! How unlucky is
that!? Ha maybe we'll get lucky in Guatemala and they'll come down for
somethin but I dono. The yard and everything looks great! You guys are goin to
town and workin your butts off I bet, dono how you're doin it! Hopefully Brandi
will be able to have a good time at Girl's Camp sounds like it will just be
good for her to have a little break since she is also workin so hard and
probably hangin out with friends all the rest of the time. I can't believe you
are running that much mom holy crap haha in our gym time I just play basketball
(didn't get to play any more volleyball kinda mad bout that) but I'm like dyin
after a good game of 3 on 3 it's pretty pathetic ha. And I only lifted once this
week. It's hard to want to work out at night cause that's when we get to read
all our letters and since I get like three times as many as everyone else I
don't have time to do anything! But keep the letters coming it is so great to
read em and see whats goin on with everyone! I wish I could write back every
day though P day just isn't long enough haha. Um what else is
happenin..everyone is way bummed I'm leaving tomoro ha they are all like who is
gonna sing country or make us all laugh or quote movies with ha makes me kinda
sad. Oh and grandma I did sing in Sacrament yesterday kinda a solo but not
really, everyone who is leavin this week so like 11 people in our zone sang a
hymn in Spanish cause that's all we sing but everyone sang way quiet but I was
like screw that so I sang way loud and low. haha I looked up like halfway
through and everyone is just lookin at me and afterward a bunch of people came
up and said they'll miss my voice ha. I'm gonna miss all the great guys I
became friends with here, they are way awesome don't worry Mom I took lots of
pics so you can see who I'm talkin about ha. And they all feel bad for me cause
it will just be like me and my companion from my district and they all know he
is a sweet spirit we're just different is all haha. But I'm just like dangit
now I don't wanna leave this place yet! We got some email from El Salvador but
guess what it's in Spanish so we gave up tryin to translate after the first
sentence ha too much time. Oh I also heard this week that Josh Turner's album
is like the greatest thing ever so if there is a song that is even remotely
religious on that album SEND IT TO ME!! haha you have no idea how much I miss
music, shower time is karaoke time haha pretty awesome. That's too bad about
Kurt I'll remember him and did you get my card Dad? Hope I didn't spoil the
suprise in the email but I sent a card, that's about all I can do..and call
home tomoro!! Around 7ish I'm assuming but just charge the phones and strap em
to your hip alll night ha cause I'm not sure. I got some pics with my two
teachers Hermano Sanchez (born in LA but his mom is straight outta El Salvador how
crazy!! he said they (salvadorans) are some of the fastest Spanish
speakers..great) and Hermano Hallstead he is a freakin stud, there is no spanish
word for stud I looked it up, but he's awesome after our last lesson with him
he called Hermano Sanchez and just told him how awesome I did with my Spanish
and it's unbelievable how much I've improved. I guess they never call each
other and it was like 10:30 at night the day before a big test so it's pretty
awesome he did that! Really boosted my confidence level ha. All the addresses
are awesome! Keep em comin I'll have to write them I guess cause I haven't
gotten a letter from any of those three guys ha has Braxton gotten his call
yet?? I don't really know what else to say so I'll talk to you all next week I
guess, Hasto Luego! And Happy Father's Day Dad!! I love you! I love all of you
and miss you more than you know!
