Week of August 2nd

Dear Mom,

I am not going to lie to you, but this week has been a little stressful. My District Leader asked why I always correct everyone around me about every little thing (old habit I guess) Anyways, he told me to listen to my companion instead of correct. So I let my companion take the lead and it completely backfired in my face with an entire weekend of enduring disobedience. I feel like I am breaking your horse right now.

On the Bright note, I went to the temple 2 days ago and my first session in Spanish. Surprisingly made more sense in Spanish than in English...

You always learn something new every time for sure! The Familias are doing good (Good job on the Spanish ;) ) We are trying to get them to attend church but it is a little difficult. Hopefully, you will be buying me a car as a homecoming present right? ;) I miss watching Bryn's soccer games and Cole's too! I have grown to love soccer a ton on my mission!

Tell Dallin that I miss him a ton and that I am going to speak French with him when I get back so he doesn't lose the language. I got to bear a testimony yesterday and I love to speak Spanish. I like that hymn as well.(Be Still My Soul)

Something I learned from Brother R is that sometimes, people are going to make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad, Let God deal with the things they do, cuz hate in your heart will consume you too. Very powerful phrase in my opinion and has been the drive of my mission for over a year. Trust me I have also learned a lot of patience here as well.

I don't remember any accident on the 4th of July? I was attacked by a members dog because I stood up to quick when Argentina lost the Copa America soccer tournament because that was my team and he tried to bite my leg but was to fast for his mouth to open so he hit his nose hard on my leg haha.

My bike is fine, my shoes that aren't the clompy ones are the one's that may need to be replaced. I want to keep in contact with the Corral family because I promised the kids I would take them to a movie when I finished my mission haha. I will try to get pictures sent next week when I take them!

Love you and wish you a very good week! Love you!
