Hey family!!
How is everybody? Did you get my pictures? [we did and will post them after they are scanned!] This is the close of two weeks, it's crazy! Thanks so much for the back pack :) It's great! It's really usefull, even though I can't wear it everywhere haha.
How did everyone's talks go? I hope they went good! I'd love to hear them :) maybe you can send them to me in a letter haha.
Thanks so much for everyone's letters! Dakota and Jaxson's letters were so sweet, they really touched me. I feel like Dakota is way more mature than I was at his age!! Sorry buddy but my Spanish is still horrible... Maybe in a couple of weeks! And Jaxson's letter made me laugh and cry at the same time haha half the letter was about how he hurt his knee, then talking about how random it was. I'm so proud of both of them :) They are the coolest!
If Trestyn could send her letter back to me, that would be great haha. I'd like to keep it on hand. That made me laugh so hard what mom said about everyone wearing my clothes everywhere haha that is such a funny visual! Hey if it makes you guys happy then go for it!
Thanks mom so much fior everything you've done for me while I've been here! I love gettting your letters about everything that happens everyday :) Thanks for your supporrt and love. And mush is fine with me :) Thanks everyone for your letters! :D
I'd like to talk a little about the MTC. It's so weird! And by that, it's just weird to be so close to Provo, J Dawgs, BYU and everything, yet still be so far away haha Iit's like 'The Village', we're in our own secluded village :) But I love it. There are trials but I know I'm being strengthened and lifted up to do the Lord's work, it's a tremendous blessing having everyone supporting me as well!
The food... maybe I'm just used to great food from home but the food makes me feel sick. But it's all you can eat! and I'm always hungry so I eat a lot, I'm probably going to gain so much weight! haha! I try to munch on some lettuce when I'm here :)
The gym is nice, I change between playing basketball, volleyball, lifting weights and running. I'm not consistent with anything though haha so I suck at everything altogether, but they're still fun to do :)
My teachers are awesome, one of my teachers is Peruvian and went to Argentina on his mission!! That's like me! Probably more like Jordan, but I'm a Peruvian at heart haha. Actually my companion has been going through a rough time since he's been here, like he broke down during a lesson and couldn't stop crying, he was just under a lot of stress and we've talked a lot and I've been able to help him. I think I was talking about how Bishop Sanford talked about how he was hoping I'd go to Peru and how I personally wanted to go there when he said that I'm going to Argentina for him (my companion - who by the way is Elder P, from Arizona, sorry for the confusion!) to help him out. It hit me hard, one thing that he thought so highly of me and for another that I could actually have an effect like that on my companion. I thought I was only here to help members and investigators :P it was a humbling experience. We still drive each other crazy though haha with our little flaws. We seem to work well together overall though.
I can't call home or anything on Christmas :/ I already knew that but it was still disappointing. I wish!! But I'm looking forward to the Devotional on Christmas Day, That should be awesome!! All of the devotionals and firesides are super spiritual and all around inspiring. My companion and I were chosen to pass the Sacrament with 60-something other Elders on that day! It should be a neat experience :)
If someone could let me know when Jake comes to work that would be great, It'll be good to see some family! Oh and it doesn't work when you plug in the camera :/. It doesnt recognize it. And you can't send hot food haha they're afraid it'll smell or go bad or something.
I'm almost out of time (there is hardly any time to write haha) but I wanted to talk about something I've learned. I have always had hope! Sometimes that hope fades, but I know without a doubt that I will be with my family forever. I hope for a good life, I have a hope that I can change and become better, I have a hope for a life without the burden of sin. I can't even imagine in the slightest how people can live their life without this hope. So that has really motivated me to be my best and do my best, to love and serve the people of Argentina because they need and deserve that hope. I love my Savior so much for the hope He gives me. My heart has really grown in love for the people I haven't even met yet!
Well I hope I've made some sense haha but I love you all so much! Thanks for your support and love :) I miss you all so much as well, and you are all in my prayers every day. Until next week I suppose :)
