Hello outside world! Man the time flies in this place! I can’t believe that I’ve almost been here 3 full weeks! This place is super fun and the spirit is awesome! I am teaching at least one lesson a day which is pretty awesome! They are all totally in Spanish, but it’s awesome because it is forcing me to learn quick! I can now teach pretty much a whole lesson in Spanish and get my point across. I’ve also worked hard at memorizing things and I have the purpose, baptism commitment, and the first vision down, so that is pretty cool! Now I just need to get some more scriptures down! So I am having a super fun time here and I can’t wait to learn more!

 As far as stories go this week was one of our teacher’s birthday, so we had a party for her which was super fun. Me and all the Elders stole a bunch of donuts from the cafeteria…oops…but then we wrapped them all up in these sketchy napkins and put them in a brown paper bag we got from our sack lunches. It was super funny cuz it looked like we were seriously smuggling in a bunch of drugs or something… Good times. Well after that I had an awesome lesson with one of our investigators named Marco where we invited him to get baptized and taught the main points of the gospel. He said yes, just that he needed to learn more before he could commit. So that was a good time.  Well other than that I mostly just teach every day the same things and I just sit in class learning Spanish!

Today was also pretty awesome because my whole zone got Ipads which was cool, and is a huge help for teaching and learning!  I know this is where I need to be and I get a confirmation of that seriously every day! I am so excited to finally get to Argentina, and teach real investigators and start doing the work. I hope all of you are doing awesome and I want to hear about what’s goin on! Love y’all! Keep on being awesome!

Helllllloooooo people of the outside world! Man this week has been awesome! The spirit here in the MTC is awesome! No matter where you look you can see the love our Father in Heaven has for each and every one of us! In class we are learning spanish 100% of the time so far. Our Maestros (teachers) only speak spanish in class which makes it hard to get what is going on, but the gift of tongues is REAL brothers and sisters. I have been able to understand just about everything that is going on, but I just don’t know how to say anything back in spanish since my vocabulary is pretty weak. I keep practicing, but hopefully it’ll come soon! Tonight is my first lesson in spanish, and I am kinda freaking out! I know it’ll be awesome though as long as I let the spirit guide me in the lesson. 

Well the first day was basically a blur; everything happened so fast I didn’t even have time to think about what was going on. I was kinda in awe the whole time, but we then went and taught some “investigators” which was fun since it was in a huge group of people in my shoes, and it was totally in english so I liked that. We then had dinner which was good since we can eat/drink all the food/drinks we want. I had a great time adjusting with the help of the awesome Elders in my district. We are all pretty close and do everything together; it’s almost like I have 4 other companions. 

Yesterday and today went by super fast since we worked super hard on language study yesterday. Luckily we had our p-day on friday, so all day has been really nice to unwind from the stress of everything. I ran which was nice since I haven’t in such a long time. All in all this has been an awesome experience and I am just loving it! I don’t have too much to write about today since I have only been here for 3 days, but next week I am sure I will have much more to talk about. I love you all and I know this church is true!
