Week #3

Hey family! 

 

It's great to hear from everyone!! Thank you for writing to me :) it makes me happy when I know what's going on with everyone :) Like with Dakota, I watched the video!! [the new Bible videos from the church-Alek's brother is in the introduction: http://lds.org/bible-videos/videos/introduction?lang=eng] It was pretty neat, I flipped out and grabbed everyone in my district and showed them all pointing him out haha. And with Trestyn! that's so cool you and Dakota got to sing with Alex Boye, he sounds like a super cool guy haha.  How were finals Dallyn and Trestyn? Did they go pretty good? I agree with mom, I think Dallyn should go into Fine Arts, she's great at it! I've always noticed! Jaxson thanks for updating me with your letters! How is your nose? That doesn't sound fun if you have to get it cauterized:/ I'm sorry.  Did the tooth fairy get you anything for your tooth? I hope everyone is doing great! I miss you!! Thanks again for all of the letters and support :) How is your tooth infection mom? It's always fun to hear how Deklan is doing :)

Wow that last paragraph was all over the place haha I'm not very organized!! I'm like you mom haha I always have to write things down to remember!! My thoughts aren't the most organized :P

I got some packages from the Powells! It was so unexpected, that was so nice of them (I'm assuming Sister Powell did all of the work haha) but that was still really nice.  She sent a lot of things to do and little activities and snacks with scriptures.  It was so thoughtful of her, If she reads this, thank you so much Sister Powell for thinking of me :)

I got a card from Sister Drake! that was so nice of her. On it was a really good quote from someone. I don't remember all of it but it talked about how the world needed forgiveness of sins, so God sent a Savior.  It was a nice thought and it was so nice of her to think of me :)

I read everyone's talks! [the family spoke in church on Dec 11th] They were all awesome! What were you talking about they weren't as good as mine!! Every single one was better :) I really enjoyed reading them so thank you. 

The gloves and coat work fine haha I feel warm so it's doing its job right haha.

Well Dallyn had some questions so I'll try to answer them haha.  There are moments where we learn separately the fundamentals of teaching in English and learn Spanish, but I have a teacher who said he'll never speak English to us.  Actually the only times the teachers speak English is if they're teaching a lesson on the fundamentals of teaching.  It's really helpful but it can also be hardcore crazy! Sometimes it's like we're playing charades more than learning Spanish :)

My p-days are super nice, we get up and I have nearly all day to write letters, we have times set aside to go to the temple and do laundry, then in the evening we have a fireside! And the talks are always awesome!! Last week we had Sister Dalton (idk if you heard) and she talked about gifts, and the most important kind of gifts.  It was so good :) Like gifts of the Holy Ghost and Patience or Love, things like that.

Lauren and Erin's letters were so nice :) I especially liked what Luke said when Lauren asked him what to say to me haha. I wish I brought the letter with me! It was so funny, He was talking about his friend named Alex from school and he wanted to plays cars with him or something. It made me laugh :) Something in Lauren's letter I found super cool was the scripture talking about Charity and how it never faileth and we should trust in charity. She said to replace charity with Christ.  It is really special because I noticed how true it is.  Everyone should do that haha.  But Christ is filled with love, He is love! The purest form of love.  I agree with my Dad in believing that humility is the most important Christ-like attribute someone could have, because it seems as though everything stems from that.  Like Charity, if one is humble, then they would have the desire to love everyone with the love that Jesus Christ has for them. 

I've really grown and learned so much since I've been here, this is already a crazy but enlightening experience haha. I'm so excited to go to Argentina! I'm nearly halfway there haha but I know that I love them already.  We teach "investigators" and when  the Spirit is there man, there is so much joy. And I am just teaching my Teachers haha.  But spreading the Gospel has been a great experience so far :)

I'm out of time, I love you all so much.  Thank you for everything you do, You're always in my prayers :) I hope you are all doing well.
