So
this is what is going on in Mexico.
* I got to be a host for the new missionaries... during a hurricane... needless to say we all got miserably soaked on their first day at the CCM.
* I prayed for the longest time ever for something, about 30 minutes.
* I ran for a whole hour without stopping at a faster pace than the track kid in our district and he got mad when he asked if I ever have ran before and I told him no and he got angry saying that there is no way that someone has that much endurance without training haha.
* My spanish is good as I have memorized over 500 words and phrases.
* Another tropical storm (soft word for hurricane) hit us and we had to run through it to shut our windows back at the house, only Elder Chatterton's stuff got wet.

*I got to give
my first blessing as a missionary and I was asked by my teacher to give him
a blessing for his illness, at first I had no
clue what to say and then it got more fluent. I could really feel the spirit!
* I also saw a moth
the size of my hand! They get huge here! I thought it was a bat until I got
closer!
Anyways that is
what is happening here...
I am on, so who is
Brysons girlfriend? How was the high adventure? Send me a picture of the
Treehouse, did the letters get to them? Can Bryson send me the lyrics to waving
flag by Knaan spanish version, and ask Caden to tell me what classical music
song plays during the Aragorn vs. Sauron Video something like heroes on earth
but I need the real name. How is today going?
(Ashleigh Klos is her
name, they went to Youth Conference, they had fun. I will send pics of the tree
house next week. The letters probably arrived yesterday or today. Bryson said
the name is Protectors of the Earth. Are you going to write us an actual letter
so we know what is going on with you?
Something else I was
thinking of today was to make sure you know that you can be honest with us
about how you are doing and how you are feeling always! It makes us happy to
hear you are happy, but we also know that it isn't easy and want you to feel
like you can tell us anything.)
Why does life hate me
so much that Bryson gets a girlfriend before I do? haha
My roommates haven't
really let me write in my journal because they completely mistranslated the
quiet time at 10:15 to lights out
and go to bed and I shower at night so I try to write with Elder Arrington in
his room and then they get mad. Some days I am glad I am the only one going on
my flight and to my mission. Is it possible to meet your future wife in the MTC
because I hope not. I hate the rainstorms haha
(So it sounds like you
are having some room mate issues? Of course it is possible... but nothing can
come of it for a few years so nothing to worry about! That is one nice thing
about a mission - you don't have to worry about school, dating, or jobs - just
learning and teaching the gospel!)
Yep. My companion bugs
the crap out of me and so do the sisters in my district as does this other
elder. I do not let it show but they bring bossy, strict, and insane to a whole
new level so there is my 2 cents. Any questions? Plus I got that awesome but
kinda disappointing news bulletin from the ward :/
(I don't know what
news bulletin you are talking about... I know it can be hard to deal with
people especially those that you have to be with a lot. Just do your best to be
obedient and to be kind. I am glad you have others in your district that you
can talk to and have fun with. I also know that you can get bugged easily, so
make sure that you are always being honest with yourself and Heavenly Father.
Pray that you can be patient and understanding and have love for those that
make you crazy. Do your best not to irritate them. Sometimes it helps, and
sometimes you just have to wait it out! Even in Marriage that advice helps!!
:) Example... Dad bought tickets to Paul McCartney for Thurs. awhile ago
and I just found out about it. Bryn has a soccer game at the same time, that I
would rather go to. I love your Dad, but hate Paul McCartney - but I am going
anyway and will be as pleasant as possible!! :)
Haha very funny, I
would have gone with him if I hadn't of been in another country that I honestly
love to be in more than Utah haha. Ok sounds good, so any questions you want me
to answer?
(Yes, What have you
done this week? What lesson has been your favorite? What have you learned in
the scriptures? Do you listen to any of the music I sent? Anything you
want me to send in your suitcase besides Mike and Ikes? I think I will let you
buy your own coat down there!)
Ok, first the funniest
thing just happened. It was quiet until Elder Tew saw a family picture that his
family sent him and he immediately said about his brother "wait, he is
wearing my shirt, That Jew!" Haha entonces, I told you what I did this
week, pretty much endured 3 hurricanes. My favorite lesson is Subjunctive
because I can understand it whereas no one else can and It is the last lesson
in Spanish that we need to learn! I learned that the Old Testament is by far
the most difficult book to read although extremely necessary. I try but
President Pratt banned listening to music in the MTC :/ I would like my Tennis
equipment if possible, Milch Bars, and a few more songs that are appropriate
but not exactly secular, like classical, Josh Groban, or Into the West.
(I don't know how to
get you music unless you send me home your MP3 and I load it and send it
back?(when you get to Texas) What are Milch Bars? The Old Testament is hard, I
think because it is somewhat subjective depending on who is reading it and you
have to look a little harder to understand what you need to learn. I a not sure
I have ever read all the way through it other than in Seminary?! I will sent
some Tennis stuff, not sure if you will be able to use it though? I'll attach a
couple of pictures from Park City - did you take any pictures this week? Are
you still happy to be there?)
Hola? Que pasa? La
convercación es continuando... ¿piensa estoy aburrido?
Hello? Are you there?
Is our conversation continuing? Am I boring you? (something like that?!)
I am still loving
Mexico. Milch bars are a Mexican Candy that I love! I sent you a picture of
one. You can only get them at Mexican stores in Utah so start looking :) I
learned a lot from Jeremiah and Isaiah and Ezekial! Did you get my last email
in Spanish?
Quiero hablar un poco
español entonces puedo apprender la lengua más rapido
I want to talk in
Spanish so I can understand it better or faster(I need to learn Spanish!)
He said a few more
things in Spanish and then ended with...
Yo necesito salir
porque mi tiempo es corto, yo amo todos los familia y esperanzo ustedes
tengan más divertido y seguridad. Llamo ustedes cuando yo llegar en la airporte
de Dallas proximo semana. Hasta luego! Yo Amor!
I need to leave because my
time is short, I love all the family and hope you have more fun and safety. I
call you when I arrive in Dallas next week airport. Bye now! I Love You!
