Week Two

Sorry about last week’s email it was all over the place. This week was awesome!!! Tuesday night we had a devotional and Elder Oaks spoke and it was amazing. Unfortunately I feel asleep and I feel really bad about that.

This week has been so much different, I have felt the spirit so much and it has been a blessing. The lord has been pouring blessing down on me ever since I got here. Without the Lord and the Spirit nothing is possible, it is so true and the Lord does so much for all of us.

We finished teaching our first investigator, his name was Ricardo and he was actually our teacher so that was cool. He is a super great teacher, and brings the spirit every time he teaches. The MTC is super fun, and I’m always happy here. I love being able to go to the temple every week and it has blessed me. My Tongan comp talks to everyone so we meet tons of amazing people and I love it. I have made so many new friends. Every night we go and meet new people and hang with them and get to know them.

My district is awesome, we do have a problem with talking too much during studying but we have gotten much better ahah. There are so many funny things that happen but of course I can’t remember them right now. There is this elder that doesn’t like me for some reason and I was trying to be nice and I said "I like your shoes" and he goes “thanks, I know how to shop unlike you, who dressed you, your grandma?" I was just like nice and kinda felt bad for him that he is here at the MTC the happiest place and he can’t be happy.

We got to help the new senior missionaries come in. It was super fun and one of the elders I met used to live in the same stake as me so that was cool. Yesterday we got to teach our first real investigator and it was the greatest thing ever, his name is Marcos and he is a 60 year old Peruvian man. He was sooo funny and the spirit was so strong in the lesson. He was so kind and just wanted the best for his family and himself, he was really interested in the church.

The Spanish is awesome I still can’t speak very well but it is so fun learning even though it is hard. We always play games to learn our Spanish and they are super fun games.

I just want to thank everyone for the love and support. The letters and dear elders are amazing keep them coming they make me so happy. And I kinda look cool when I get them too. Through Christ anything is possible and if we do what we need to he will help us succeed.
