Hola! Comó
estan mi familia y amigos?
Ha ha so
anyways, I am having a great second week here at the CCM (MTC) and we finished
teaching Nicolas our mock investigator, turns out he is our new Teacher! It's
crazy! ha ha! He is so awesome but sadly he has only one week with us until he
has to resign from the MTC (apparently you can only work for three years
there). So he has been teaching us super spiritual and funny stuff about his
mission and the things we need to learn about the gospel! But not to worry, we
have a new teacher who is in training, and just got back from his mission two
months ago! His name is Hermano Plilar and he is super funny! He has the Shya
sounding Spanish that we will be speaking in Argentina ! It's so hard to
understand him sometimes because he will be talking super-fast and we are like
"mas despacio por favor!" (Please slow down!) ha ha!
So we were
playing futbol (soccer) last Thursday with some Latinos and me and this other
elder collided our feet together and I got a nasty bone bruise! Yeah I was
limping around after that. I figured it
would be alright in the morning. Poor Elder Pace had to wait for me when we
were going places. The next day (Friday) It was still hurting bad so I went to
the doctor to get it checked out so I didn't have a bad time with the Argentina
Doctors! So I got crutches and they helped so much! My foot is much better and
it's not broken! I am walking normal so that is good! But the game of futbol we
played on Thursday against the Latino team was hilarious! Us gringos thought we
were going to get our butts kicked hard but we literally reenacted the Brazil
vs Germany game in the world cup, so go gringos! I also found out from Hermano
Lee that Futbol to Argentina is literally life for everyone- so I may come back
rooting for Argentina in the next World Cup!
We are loving
every minute of studying here in the MTC and we are obviously becoming super
weird. We laugh at everything most of the time. Hermano Barfuss and the other teachers
talk about some funny moments when new Spanish speakers were teaching a lesson
to them. Example: nosotros tenemos un massaje por usted! (We have a massage for
you!) It's supposed to be Mensaje (Message) so we were laughing super hard at
that. Another one is you never say Estoy Bueno! It does not mean “I'm good”. It
means "I'm sexually attractive!" It's Estoy bien you want to say. Ha
ha it was super funny! Hermano Barfuss loves all of us, but is mostly straight
and to the point when it comes to learning a new language. We haven't heard him
say anything in English except someone's name or OK. But the majority of the
time I can understand what my teachers are saying- so that setting apart
blessing really is working!
So as you
probably already have heard from Elder Butler, we are going to listen to ELDER
GROBERG from "The Other Side of Heaven" for our devotional tonight!!!
Gah I'm so excited!!! WE are going to be singing in the choir so Elder Butler
and I might be next to each other when we sing to him! So Elder Butler and I
are the best “where's Waldo” players in the world. Every time I am on Main
Campus we find each other within at least 5 minutes! It's really a blessing for
both of us because other Elders have their "friends" but we've got
family! Sister Mckee was at the Tuesday devotional last week also, but sadly
she is gone for this one. Sad. but I did
get pictures with us three family members! So hopefully the computers will be
nice to me and let me load pictures!
So spiritual
thought for the Week watch
It's Gordon
B. Hinckley Talking about forgiveness and all the wonderful merits that come
from having hope in being forgiven. For those who read and feel alone or that
they are scared to admit fault watch this and feel the spirit. I know that as
all of us come to rely on our Savior's Atonement we come closer to realizing
just how much hope we can have for being better. As always I love each and
every one of you and only wish the best of luck and the best of feelings for
your happiness as we go through life. Heavenly Father gave his only Begotten
Son Jesus Christ so that we may have hope for being something greater.
Sincerely
with Love,
