MTC Letter Week 6

Hola! Familia Winslett! Como estan? Como fue sus semana? Ok I promise I won't write in Spanish, maybe... Lo siento... Ok I am done now.

 

The service project sounds cool, to bad y'all couldn't go. We do service every Tuesday here. It's pretty easy though, they have us clean one of the residence buildings. Jobs like vacuming and cleaning, easy stuff.

 

Glad to hear you got my SD Card, haha. Just wanted to make sure it didn't get lost in the mail.

 

The language.... yeah.... It's coming, I am just afraid of when I get out there and sound like a bafoon, haha, I've heard horror stories from my teachers and there missions, but the reassuring note on that is they said by my 4 month mark I should be descently fluent, which is insanely exciting, I cannot wait until I don't have to worry so much about Spanish and I can focus more on the investigator. It's all good though no worries. Some days are tough and others are easy peezy lemon squeezy. Sorry couldn't help myself. My district and I are trying to speak only Spanish, so hopefully that will help alot with picking it up better.And don't worry If I get grey hair then I'll have to get a cane and walk like an old man!

 

Yes I am pretty sure I will get my Visa too so no worries.

 

Yeah ZL or DL would be amazing, but I got one more week before I can find out. While were on the topic of my zone, on Wednesday we got a new district in our zone. There all Spanish speaking, and the best part of it all is one of the Hermanas and one of the Elders is going to the Houston Texas South Mission, which is were you guys are now! So exciting! I'm going to give them y'alls address as well as Elder Banks and Elder Smouts name (They were the companionship that would take me out alot, I want to get them my address.) so that when they get down there they can harrass you guys.

 

Gah, I'm so jealous that you guys are gonna be all together for Thanksgiving, but nananananah I will be in Mexico for Thanksgiving. the sad part of that is Mexico really doesn't have a Thanksgiving.

 

Ok I think I addressed everything, now on to the good stuff! Well, lets start off with the most grand of them all. On Tuesday we had a Fireside and ... wait for it.... Elder Richard G. Scott came and spoke with us. It was such an intense talk, and so powerful, it was AMAZING! The next best part about that is, with some last minute seat changing, I got to sit literally 10 feet away from him. I was in the 2 row, he was radiating with the spirit it was insane. Next best news, both of our "Investigators" have been progressing, both have commited to baptism and one of them, "Enrique" aka Hermano Demke, knows El Libro de Mormon is true! I was extremely happy even though it was fake, haha. "Vergelio" aka Hermano Jensen is now praying correctly, and not saying the Lord's pray (He's Catholic) There both progressing, and it's awesome.

 

Quick funny story then I gotta go, I'm 11 minutes over my time, haha. So we were in class, and to make a long story short, Elder Hamilton was dared by Elder Leavitt to try and slam the hydraulic door for our class. Yeah, the hydraulics broke, busting off the cover and oil started spewing out, the door slamed about 2 inches away from Elder Leavitt's face and made a loud noise. To make the rest of the long story short, Elder Leavitt was pretty freaked out and everybody laughed. Then Elder Hamilton felt bad for breaking the door. But, it was fixable so no worries.

 

Also our district was dared to all put on the facial face lift cream, so yeah we all put on facial cream that Elder Leavitt's mom sent to us. I have pictures don't worry. The sad thing is it felt really good, my face has never been so clean! Haha.

 

Les amo todos de ustedes! (I love all of you!) No puedo hasta eschuchar de ustedes! (I can't wait to hear from you!)

 

Amor, (Love,)

Elder "Tall Son, Frijoles, Winzie" Winslett
