Hello everybody! How is the real world going?! I’m sure it’s still crazy as ever with all the election stuff and what not… Well here in the MTC it is divertido as always. So let’s see where to begin? Well Sunday was church, which was fun cuz it was a fast Sunday so we were able to share our testimonies in Spanish and what not. The spirit was super strong and it’s just cool that even though we are having sacrament meeting in a little classroom it is still just as powerful as when we do it in a church building. Monday was pretty normal, we have service every morning where we clean our residence hall for an hour and a half. It’s always good cleaning toilets, yeah not really haha, but no it wasn’t too bad. The rest of Monday is pretty much a blur, but so is everything else because time here is super weird… It feels like I’ve been here forever, but at the same time it feels like I’ve been here for a day. Idk how to explain it. Tuesday was a good day because I taught some great lessons and really felt the spirit. We were talking about the gospel of Jesus Christ and how it blesses everyone’s life. We showed an awesome video with our iPads which was super awesome, like I wish I could have an iPad in the mission only for that reason because Mormon messages are super nice while teaching. They invite a spirit that I sure can’t in Spanish hahaha. Pero si these things are awesome.
Well later that night I went to a devotional with everyone that was super awesome. We heard from Elder Pino of the seventy, but it was awesome cuz he spoke Spanish his whole lesson which was super cool cuz I totally understood some of the things he was saying. It is kinda crazy because I can understand most things gospel related, but I can’t understand just typical conversation stuff. Idk how to explain it but yeah I love Spanish it is the best! Something I forgot to add about Tuesday… I got some iodine or something on my shirt from the water filter water bottle thing we got, don’t ask me how cuz I still don’t really know, but anywho I got a Tide-to-go pen to get rid of the stain, but as soon as I used it on my shirt it spread all over my shirt like seriously this stain was like the size of a golf ball, which doesn’t seem like a big deal, but I’ll send a picture of it. Well after some hard work and the magic of modern day technology… I was able to get the stain out which is a good thing cuz it was one of my two long sleeve shirts with a pocket, yes mom I should have listened to you and got shirts with pockets. You can tell me I told you so in 2 years ??.
Well now Wednesday; well the started with my zone hosting which was fun cuz I got to see the behind-the-scenes of  getting people into this place haha. I realized how glad I am that I don’t have to say goodbye to my family and what not again. It was a great experience because I helped get people in here and comfortable with everything. So yeah good times. Thursday I didn’t really do anything notable. I taught an investigator which was fun, we got her to read El Libro de Mormón which was good because she was apparently Catholic and didn’t care about the Book of Mormon the beginning of the week. It was really cool to see the growth that came from the lessons. I just love missionary work. I love putting myself out there and sharing my testimony with others. I just love the look in an investigators eyes when something clicks, I mean given I’m only teaching members I’m 90% sure, but still it is just an awesome experience. I love the growth I’ve seen in myself with Spanish. I’m so much further in Spanish than I was even last week. I can’t wait to learn more and finally be in Argentina where I can teach in real life. I’m defiantly looking forward and I can’t wait to grow! I love you all and I hope you are doing awesome!
