I'm not so much worried about the "real investigators" I am more afraid of everything else. New country, new laws, new everything. And then I am also afraid of spanish, and mine not being sufficient enough to talk to people. But, I know with the Lord's help I can do it. I just got to get rid of this nervousness, haha.
I have learn so much in the 2 months I have been here and I still have 22 months to grow more. (Probably shouldn't say that cuz that makes it sound like a long time. haha) I know those months are going to fly by. I am insanely glad I got to learn another language.
We could have trick or treated on El Dia de Muerte (Yes in Spanish it translates to day of the dead, and they celebrate it differently.) But, we were all uber tired and collapsed when we got back to our rooms. I'm always dressed up though so it's like Halloween year round. haha.
Ok so now for my week. Well, to start off with the, I guess you could call it, "bad" news. I am not Zone Leader nor am I District Leader. Elders Cummins and Millerberg are the new Zone Leaders for the last few days we are here. Elder Hammilton is the District Leader as well. So no callings here in the MTC atleast. It's all good.
The oldest district left on Wednesday and so now we are the oldest here in Branch 17.
It "snowed" here again, but none of it stuck. Only up in the mountains did it stick so it made for a cool background haha. I think its suppose to snow again on Saturday and Sunday so hopefully it sticks. I hope it snows and sticks here before I leave because I don't think it will snow down in Mexico. Still scary that I will be down there in a week and a half.
Really awesome spiritual experience the other day. We were assigned to pray, study and prepare a lesson for one of fellow district missionaries and I got Elder Hammilton. I prepared and what not and as I started the spirit took over. It was indescribably awesome. my chest felt as though there was a flamethrower inside of it, obviously the spirit, and I don't remember all I said because He was talking through me to Elder Hammilton. I spoke on Prayer is the food for the Hungry Soul, if that makes sense. And afterwards I was on a spiritual high and Elder Hammilton said that was EXACTLY what he needed. Elder Millerberg talked to me about concecrating myself to the work and he gave me some really awesome ideas on how I can do that. I want to be as Ammon (BoM Ammon not Ammon Seigfried haha) was and literally radiate with the Spirit. Hopefully I can do my best to do that.
We got another new district Wednesday and that was awesome, I'm already friends with a couple of them. Speaking of wednesday, I forgot to mention Hosting. I got to be a new missionary host on Wednesday and that was awesome, and sad, all at the same time. None of the Elders or Sisters I hosted were cryers so thats good. but it was interesting seeing were they were all going.
Gah I'm over on time, and got to go. I think I got everything I wanted to say, but yeah. Oh so yeah If any of you want to send something to me, try to get it here before next Saturday, because the last time we are allowed to get mail is Saturday at 2. Oh and no I have not gotten my Visa yet so hopefully I get it this week. I will try and let you know as soon as I can so I can let you know when I call. My guess is it's going to be not this monday but next monday morning, early. I will let you know as soon as I can though, what time.
Gotta go but les amo, y tengan un bueno semana!
