I´m so glad to hear about everyone's football! That´s so
great to see everyone back home doing work! Hahah! I miss baseball so much. I played it last week actually it was super fun. So I´ll start off
with my week here...because of a lot of things my patience is drastically improving. Back
home I would have thrown a few guys out the window, but here I just try to control what I would like to do and repent about my thoughts later. I can feel the
change. Ok, so Mom you asked about lessons and stuff.
Well, if we taught more I could tell ya. No just kidding. We teach the
way preach my gospel tells us too and truthfully I LOVE teaching. I´m,
saying it in humility, a pretty good gospel teacher. My favorite is
teaching about Joseph Smith. I love it. Just reciting
the First Vision... Whoo, the Spirit knocks you off your feet I´m serious.
It´s incredible. Funny thing is like no one really asks questions. We
always ask nos entiende? And they´re always like oh yeah perfectly hahah
but then after a few lessons one of our investigators,
who has now disappeared, sometimes I can't believe my life, said honestly-- I had no idea what
you guys were talking about that first lesson. I really don´t think
anyone understands what we teach, they just feel good and later on
understand more.
So here´s kinda my daily routine...
630 wake up play ball with Elder Bozarth, love him, Datwyler, love him,
and Streiff who I love too. We play til 8 then we go home eat and shower
then 9 - 10 is personal study... I´m in 3 Nephi and reading Jesus the
Christ. Then 10 to 12 is comp study...difficult
Then 12 to 2 we go contact people like madmen and people just say no
(along with a lot of other stuff) then at 2 we eat then at 3 we study the language then at 4 we
go to whatever visits we do or don´t have, we knock doors, street
contact, call people, the occasional dinner visit,
stuff like that then at 10 we return and plan til 1030 then I get into
my g´s with Elder Streiff and eat a mother of a popsicle like a
champion and talk about our days. Hahaha!! It´s pretty fun. Then at 1120 I
pray then at 1145 I sleep like a rock. So that´s
pretty much my day.
You asked about any holidays here? Like every other week is called fiesta where no one
works. It´s crazy. Everyone goes and gets drunk. Aahhh I gotta tell you
about Halloween. Gosh I´ll add it in my letters I´m sending. Send more pics of the fam this week. Always a treat. Or
send them in the letters too. That´d be nice. I need to watch as Dad
gets old and that muscle turns to fat.
Well I love everyone! Have a good week! I´m so excited. 13 days and counting!!! YES!
Love Elder
