Here it is:
Wow! This has been quite a week! The first 3 days were quite
and adventure and lots of information given. They seemed to pass by so slow but
now days are just blending together. Spanish is used all the time and I´m
already catching on. Each day here we learn about as much as you would in a
week of a regular academic Spanish class. I´m already able to give basic
prayers, testimonies, and conversations. The second day here I got assigned as
District Leader, which was a lot to take in.But its not that bad.I'm in a trio
right now and its pretty awesome. Elder Brayton (from South Carolina) and Elder
Shelton (from Virginia) are awesome guys and we get along so well. Both of
them, another Elder companionship and a Hermana companionship in our district
are going to Antofagasta!! Two of them are from Mesa but I didn't know them
before. Our zone overall is pretty awesome, we are like our own branch pretty
much.
Its so amazing here! I've felt the spirit so much here. At
times its overwhelming about how much they throw at you and you feel like
giving up but that's when you have to realize your purpose and know that
Heavenly Father will bless you as you obey. Obedience is stressed so much here.
There's the regular missionary handbook rules and then there's specifics for the
CCM (Spanish for MTC) and we have to remember that " obedience brings
blessings, exact obedience brings miracles". So sometimes the rules seem
tedious but I sure do need a miracle to learn Spanish. Theres so much more I
want to say but I would be here all day trying to type it out. Happy
Thanksgiving, much love...
