hey!!!
sooo the internet has been out all day today so i wrote a letter to all you guys and now just before our class starts it is back up again haha. life here is definately unique.. the food is inbetween plane food and badly cooked home meals haha. i think it is cool here though. i got made the district leader of my district. there are 12 of us, 5 are going to the dominican republic in 2 weeks now and the other 7 of us are headed to different parts of argentina. the spirit is soo very strong here. its like there is an angel on both of your shoulders wispering awesome spititual stuff all the time! its great. my companion is cool, my roomates are all kinda short and have bad eyesight haha. but they are cool and fun. being thrown into a leadership position has helped me to grow exponentially and to work harder every second of every day. i pick people to choose spanish hymns, the spanish prayers, the spanish spiritual thoughts, and all sorts of small things like that. also meetings at random times, sometimes with no warning at all haha. it is very cool, i think as a district we have grown together to start becoming stronger as a whole. at first we sat in silence, no one said anything even when asked to talk haha. now we are having fun and learning all sorts of cool stuff. learning how to teach someone is rather tough. the goal of a missionary is to find what the person needs to know, then to teach them it and bring them into our gospel. its super hard in english!! but in spanich ive heard it is easier because we only know the most basic of words and phrases. we do know how to pray completely in spanish and how to testify as well. i am not understanding mostly anything that people say in spanish but as i trust in the lord he will help me to have the right words come to me in the right moments. i watched the joseph smith movie and it was awesome. pretty much all of sunday was the best day ever. my testimony super sized that day and hasnt stopped growning since. i didnt think it was possible to believe in anything the way i am believing in the lord our savior and joseph smith. it seems kind of silly if you wouldnt join this true church. i learned something pretty cool the other day, it was a quorom of the 70's talk. he said that our spirits have Christ's light and truth since the moment we were born. and when our spirit hears the truth again there is no way that they can deny it. their spirit will make them believe because they already believe in it, the earthly man just doesnt realize it if no one will tell him. so yup my first week has been awesome my time to type is up. i love everyone supporting and praying for me. le amo!!!!!!
