I have some awesome things to tell u well first I have my MTC companion and his name is Elder P I wish I could put pictures but I forgot my cord in my room and only have 30 mins too type because we have to eat and go to the temple that's in front of the MTC, it's a three day walk lol naw just 1 min, but Elder P has to take out his endowments and I'm going to be his escort. Well the first day I had major major jet lag two elders in my district said that we weren't going to have class that day but we did. I was able to memorize the objective for us missionaries and the first vision but when it came to D and C 4 I couldn't I got mad and frustrated and i just want to give up and quit but i calmed myself down and humbled myself said a prayer, apologized to God that I wanted to just go home because I really want to be here but anyways I'm still working on it. Best thing that has happened here is..... I'M THE ZONE LEADER!!!!! When President D ask me and Elder P to be the zone leaders I was shocked. I was like wow. I was speechless but I knew that when he said that we were the Elders for the job that the lord is giving this opportunity to learn or get a great experience from it. Also two days ago during my personal studies I was studying repentance because this Sunday being a zone leader in charge and responsible for 48 missionaries I have to give them a lesson. I was taken over by the spirit and I started. I don't know what, but I made a parable, I would like to type it but only got ten more mins, but I bore it to my district (we are district 2) they were stunned and speechless same with two other Elders that sleep in my room and haha one of the teachers said I'm a be like a "70" or an Apostle something like that... People here in Chile speak way to fast. But over all my Spanish has improved alot I'm able to bear my testimony and know more gospel doctrine. Well time to go and eat and prepare myself and my companion to go to the temple! Love u daddy ps: Tuesdays are my personal days
Hi daddy send this to mommy and to everyone else. Well yesterday was
a long long day but was pretty awesome when I got to Georgia I ran into
9 other elders and one of them was and is with me at the MTC and has
the same calling as me! Elder L is an awesome missionary. me and
him are only staying here at the MTC for 2 weeks! Well times out and I
have to go love all you guys and I'll send pictures later. Bye time to
go hopefully we can email tomorrow. I'm safe and well and ready to
serve.
