What's up family! How's it going? Hey doesn't Braiden have his first basketball game this week? How does the team look? Whose pulling through? Oh guess what Braiden ... no big deal but yesterday during gym I dunked 7 times throughout gym and one of them was in the face of a kid taller than me! It was fantastic, he went up I went up and the rest is history! But that was awesome probably the coolest dunk I have ever done! I wonder if Paraguay will make lose alot of weight cause then... I will fly! Its a bummer the Beans didnt make, is there a lot of snow there? It snowed like about 3 or 4 inches here one night and it doesn't melt. It's so weird, everything melts in Eagle! But the MTC is awesome. This last week flew by, oh and this last week was the week to prepare for teaching our first lesson in Spanish all the way through. Which was yesterday, it is amazing how fast you learn at the MTC. In 4 weeks I can teach a 40 minute lesson all in Spanish. I didn't go as well as I expected but that is because the week before we taught in English and my expectation were too high, but it was alright. Sometime I feel limited to what I want to say and that is the worst! But I realized something this week, That a mission is the perfect example of a refiners fire. I am in the midst of the refiners fire. The chanlanges and experience on a mission will purify anybody if they will serve faithfully. It is amazing how much you feel the spirit here too. It's like I am addicted to it and need a certain dosage everyday or I don't feel complete ha. But it is amazaing and hey if you ever want to send like your favorite scrippture of the week or something feel free cause scriptures are like gold to me here I love them. Is it wrong to love your Spanish Book of Mormon more than you English because I have definitely switched over completely and even though I don't understand some if it, it is so much better and I really hope I don't lose them. I feel for Devin now! I also realize that the teachers that our district have are amazing. they are fantastic teachers and I love them to death. They are exact opposites and one is a Nazi and the other a baby but they equal out. I love Mormon chapter 9!
Alright so story of the week is my companion found some laxatives stuff in someone's room and they said he could have it. In the pouch there was 2 pills 2 cookies and this powder stuff and my companion took every single one all at once and it was the funniest thing. Watching him squirm in his seat and say oh no throuugh out the day. I couldn't stop laughing. I almost took the other pouch but decided not to because we had to teach in a little while and one of us had to be stable to make it through the lesson! I am really making progress in the language though I am being blessed. I understand all the grammer and I can understand real well but I talk very slowly and my vocaab isn't fantastic but I think that will only come out in the field!
Keep me posted and thank you for the letters and packets I love reading them.
Oh ya as for christmas I don't need anything and it will just put me over on weight but the food and ties were fantastic. Thank you!
I Love You
