Oh my goodness have things been BUSY!! My companion and I taught our hearts out this past week. Everything was a little rocky...ok, it was WAY rocky and hard but way cool nonetheless. It didn't help that I was sick this past week. I came down with a really weird bout of weakness and sore throatyness last Tuesday and have been trying to get over it. It's almost gone but I didn't have a voice for a couple of days and have had a bit of a hard time sleeping.
Class every day is going really well. Our class schedule is actually going to change this next week because of school starting. This week is the last week for one of our teachers, so we will have a new one next week, and the other has classes that he is going to take. Our whole district was pretty disappointed because we love both the teachers we have. But, I completely understand. BYU is pretty tough and when you have a job like working at the MTC, it can be a huge weight tied around your shoulders. But, it's so crazy to think that I've been here for a month already...In another 4 weeks I will be on a plane to AZ, hopefully prepared to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people there. I was reading in the Doctrine and Covenenants a couple of days ago when I came across D&C 90:11. It talks about how the gospel will be heard by everyman in his own tongue. It was really powerful to me because, honestly, I feel like I have really been struggling learning this language. But, Heavenly Father knows all of our trials and thoughts and ALWAYS puts something there to show that you are ok. My experience was yesterday in the TRC. This was our first week doing everything in Spanish. It was HARD! Oh goodness it was rough. It's frustrating to not know how to say what you want to say. I was kinda disappointed, in myself mostly, until later on that evening. In my Personal and Language study yesterday I read Predicad Mi Evangelio in both Spanish and English and I really realized how much I really knew. It got to the point yesterday that I rarely looked at the English version, which happened when I really didn't have any idea what a word meant. This gospel is just so amazing!
Other than that It hasn't really been a crazy week. There were a couple of really Spiritual experiences that I don't have time to write at the moment but will try sometime. If not, then you'll just have to wait until I get back! :) We lost another District this past week but are blessed to get another one tomorrow. This will be the first district that Elder Harker and I will have a Zone leaders. We get to orient them on Wednesday for about an hour then take them on a tour and orient them some more for about an hour and a half on Thursday. I am way excited. I love Wednesdays here! :)
But, I really wish I could write more but I am running out of time really fast! The computers here only give you 30 minutes to e-mail everything you need to. But, I want you all to know that sé que este iglesia es verdadero. Yo sé que that José Smith fue un propheta de dios. Yo sé que Jesucristo es my hermano, mi Salvador y Redentor, y mi amigo. Yo sé que tenemos un profeta en la tierra hoy, Thomas S. Monson. Yo sé que las familias podemos ser eterna. Yo sé que podemos regresar a Dios si arrepentimos de nuestros pecados. Yo sé que El Libro de Mormón y la Santa Biblia son las palabras de Dios. Yo sé que este obra is verdadero y que nuestro mensaje traerá felizidad a esos personas que lo aceptan. I love you all and want you to know that I am thinking about you and that you are always in my prayers! Keep the letters coming!
¡Hasta Luego y Les Amo!
