Español is... to say the least, insanely difficult. Haha, I can´t even imagine how hard Chinese, or Japanese would be. I'm getting it though, and I can teach in Spanish now. The lessons aren't very thurough though, and I'm not teaching to the Investigator's needs like I need to be. But, I still have a month before I leave and we're almost done with all the grammer principles so there's not much more to learn, just vocab, and the darn irregulars. That is going to be my downfall is irregulars. They conjugate differently for each tense then the normal verbs. I'll get it though. I'm starting HSI (Hable su idioma -speak your language-) which means little to no ingles por me when I talk. It should help alot with my learning so we will see. And yes Stephen Spanish is messing up my spelling. Every time I write "Priesthood" I end up writing out "Sacerdocio" and "gospel" is "Evangelio" So my vocab is slowing shifting into all Spanish haha.
My departure date is November 15th. That's assuming I get my VISA though. Mexico apparently is being dumb with VISAs right now so not everyone is getting there's. But, hopefully it isn't the case for me, so I'll let you know as soon as I get my departure date and time.
"Winzie" is a nickname that my district gave me so in a sense yes my companion gave it to me. I don't know why they call me that but it's cool either way.
Ok now time for my news! We'll actually this week has been quite uneventful. Oh! Julie Beck, the General Relief Society President came to speak to us Tuesday Night. She talked about the Importance of Temple work, so it's gotten me excited to go this afternoon. Also the other two Peru missionaries in our district left for the Peru MTC this week on Wednesday and yesterday. Elder Spencer and Elder Nelson was there names. Yesterday we got to move ALL the beds in one of the buildings into another building for renovation. There renovating everything here so there's construction everywhere. After this next monday there will only be 2 districts in our zone until Wednesday, when we will get 2 new districts. Also there is a good chance that me and Elder Jordan could be Zone Leaders. The current ones leave week after next and then our district will be the oldest. The tripanionship in our district is exempt and the only other companionship that could be Zone Leaders is Elder Millerberg and Elder Cummins, and Elder Millerberg is District leader, meaning it's almost certain they won't be choosen, unless someone else was going to be assigned District Leader. So either way, there's a chance I could be either ZL or DL. Exciting, yet scary. The work load for ZL and DL is alot more then just a missionaries. We will see though. Umm other then those few things nothing else has really happened. Just chuggin along. Pretty uneventful of a week.
Joke time, how do you spell haha in spanish? I'll give you the answer next week.
Les amo! No puedo escuchar por ustedes! -can't wait to hear from you guys-
