¡Hola mi muchas amigos! Esta semana fue muy bien. MUY Bien. Estudiamos mucho y aprender muchas coasas cada dia. Mi español es no gran pero Estoy aprendiendo. Elder Harker y yo ensansado Lección 1 in español otra vez en el TRC ayer y estamos preparando para este próxima Lunes cuando enseñaremos Lección 2 (El Plan de Salvación) con La Palabra de Sacerdocio. Estoy Ánimo acerca de este... Me Gusta MUCHO Lección 2. Pero, estoy terminado con escribiendo en español. :)
Apart from teaching and studying, which really is my life here, not a lot of stuff has happened. My district and I have been holding full day English fasts. We actually have 3 this week (Jueves a traves de Sabado). I know I'm really excited for them. They are super hard and you are exhausted by the end of the day, but the amount of spanish practice you get is priceless. I've also been able to read Predicad Mi Evangelio this week entirely in spanish. That's right. No Preach My Gospel for Help. Sure there are some words I don't know but, wow, it's been great to really read in the morning. It takes me about an hour to get through three pages but the time is well worth the practice! :)
Apart from the language, we've actually had a really good week here. Last Tuesday, Elder Richard G. Scott came and spoke to us on following the Spirit. It. was. AWESOME!!! Half way through, he just stopped his slide show presentation he was using and just followed the spirit. It was, by far, one of the most powerful experiences I have ever had. During his talk, he bestowed a couple of Apostolic Blessings on us: One for the Gift of Tongues and the other for Protection as long as we are Righteous. It was just awesome...I can't really describe it any better than that.
Also this past week, our Zone received a new district! It was great to have some new ones come in. Elder Harker and I had the chance to do about 2 hours of training with them, plus a tour, over last Wednesday and Thursday. They are a great group of missionaries. Hard working, obedient, and willing to do their best. To be honest (as bad as this may sound) I wish I could trade some of our "Lukewarm" elders for theirs. Most of them are going to California but two sisters are going to Santiago Chile and one sister is going to PROVO (this sister happens to be 29...I was a little shocked when I heard that but she is such a hard worker and it's such an opportunity to have her in our Zone). Our District acutally has the opportunity to host the new elders that come in tomorrow. Most of us are super excited for that opportunity and a lot of us can believe that we've been here long enough to have that opportunity... It's weird to think that, in less than a month I'll be in Phoenix or somewhere in AZ preaching the gospel. It's so awesome to think about!
The last bit of tidbit news I have is the opportunity I had to purchase the LDS version of the Bible in Spanish this past week. Benefits of a Missionary I guess :) It doesn't have a Bible Dictionary or a Topical Guide but it is still incredible nonetheless!
Well All, I must be going. My half hour is almost up! Remember that I love you all and that you are all in my prayers! To those who are at BYU, have a fantastic first week and I hope to hear from you all soon. Don't forget, dearelder.com is an awesome easy way for letters!! (hint, hint....:) ) Alrighty, ¡Hasta Luego y Les Amo Ustedes!
