Week 1

¡¡¡Hola mi familia!!!

 

i´m doing soo great in the argentina MTC. i have learned a ton from the teachers here. i´ve learned tobear my testimony, pray, and teach the first lesson in spanish already!  i only have a half hour to write in here but i´m trying to write as fast as i possibly can.  the flight was really long, the two elders i met in the airport are my companions.  they´re names are elder shaw and elder hendrickson.  if you didn´t know by now i´m actually in here for 9 weeks instead of 4.  the 4 weeks is for missionaries that originally went to the provo MTC already.  the whether here is like what spring would be in colorado but with humidity.  so not too hot and not too cold.  the MTC here is tiny, there´s probably only 50 elders here.  and only 20 of us are americans.  the size of the MTC is about half the size of my dorm building.  i´m having an absolute blast.  i´m learning tons about the gospel.  on this coming saturday we get to go prosceliting for about four hours. it´s super awesome how quickly you pick up the language here.  the Latinos are awesome!!! they are trying to help us as much as they can with our spanish.  i´m so greatful to hear that all of you guys are doing well :) the Lord has truly blessed me with such an amazing family that cares about me.  thanks to all of you guys for your prayers.  it´s such a comfort to know that you are thinking anout me and praying for me.  the food here is great!!!! a lil strabge but great, the first day i was here a ate cow tongue and lamb meat.  it got me a little worried about the rest of the week, but the rest was really good.  we had great food the rest of the week. i hope to be able to write a lil faster next week. i love you all soo much!!!

 

Love you TONS,
