sup errbody!
nah im kiddin hi there everyone :)
so the mtc is getting a little boring now.. its okay though because theres lots of snow here! oh wait.. there isnt.. rain in december is so odd. in argentina its gonna be a million degrees in december so here we go! our room is packed with presents and a tiny Christmas tree and such. it totally feels like its that time of year even without family around. not as fun though, definately more spiritual in a sense. we heard from a 70 last night about a lot of things but he said a couple things i liked. he said to make this Christmas the best one youve ever had. and to do that for every Christmas from here on out. especially on a mission cuz you only get two and why not make them unforgettable.
Christmas's arent unforgetable from the sick presents you get but from the memories you may have from serving others. aka 12 days of Christmas stuff and so forth.
i love my district! all 8 of us are just mobbin life (in a spiritual sense) my visa is in the wind. i have no clue whats going on with it but there is no bad news yet so imma keep thinking that nothing is wrong :)
oh yeah mom and dad. confession. so i think it was a year or two or three ago when you put that code on the tv so we couldnt watch stuff that was locked.. yeeeaaaahhh.. i kinda found out that code the second day and lied that i didnt know it. and i told the brothers about it. and we watched all kinds of bad shows.. Kidding! but seriously we know it. 4266. sorry for being such a sly sluether and figuring out it :) but i seriously never got the computer password which i tried really hard to get sometimes. one time i think i even used my phone and video taped when you typed in the password. but the screen on my phone was to fuzzy and too small so it didnt work. so thats my confession for the day :)
i think that i have portrayed spanish to be so simple here.. but it is definately not at all.. the spirit does help us learn quicker sometimes but all in all it is SUCH a headache haha. but its a headache we gotta go threw to make it in the big leagues. aka argentina. where i leave to in, holy buckets, less than a month!! bring it on. im betting my companion will be an all spanish elder and never even heard english in his life so with that good assurance im ready to try to learn more spanish!
celestial rooms are the best btw. if you havent been in a while you should definately make time to go. and yup theres a million excuses to why not to. and if its closed then i encourage you to go, thats the closest place on this earth to our father in heaven and why not be close to him at this amazing time of the year. so yeah the dumb devil will try to make you rationalize things and make things come up, but i promise that itll be worth your time to go there.
i have only 30 minutes to type stuff and sometimes i start talking about the most random stuff.. the wife of the 70 last night said that it doesnt matter who you were when you stepped into the mtc, your a different person now. imma believer of that! ive never prayed or pondered or studied or stressed or had bigger headaches than i do here haha. but all in all im the same lazy kid who spent his last days at home playing a video game and watching countless netflix movies. only my video games here are the scriptures and my netflix is lds.org. by the way there are some INTENSE mormon messages on that site! maybe ive forgotten what an awesome video is but if i havent then those on that site rock my socks my. theyre the bomb dot com.
oh idk if ive told you my teachers names. so there is Hermano Culbertson, Hermano Peñialillo, and Hermana Peñialillo. good luch trying to pronounce those names cuz it took our district a good week and a half to get it right haha. they are all amazing and return missionaries and speak super fast spanish. its humbling. when we think that we are cool and can talk lots of spanish they say like 8 mumbles and it was supposedly a sentance and yup we are humbled. im still the district leader, usually they get realeased after 4 weeks of being one but i think we going on week 6 now and im still hangin around.
life is good though. and it is possible to have a good fun conversation with people while still staying spiritual. haha i wasnt the best at that before i left but we are kinda forced to do it here, not by anyone hounding you about it but by your own concience eating away at you. they are right when you feel bad about the littlest of things while your here. my time is almost up. i could ramble on about who knows what for all day but 30 minutes is all i get. and it flys by so stinkin fast. i love you all.
HA HA! Nan & Bart you better get those passwords changed... too funny :0)
