Ben, Bri and ty
Thanks Ben, so so much for your letter! It came at the perfect time, and it has helped so much! I defiantly wish everyone could experience at least the fist week of the MTC. You definitely have to be ready to be here, to learn, to change... But I love it here! The teachers are great, everyone is always so happy. I have already learned so much! My district is really close, were all like family! Que Bueno! I'll send some pictures sometime, I don't know when but I will. We really focus hard core on like two things. Gospel and Spanish. We went to the temple today, it was really neat. I've started to get up a half hour earlier at 5:30 to study a little more 3 or so days a week and it's really helped a lot. We were doing the TRC the other day and contacting in spanish. We got this native lady who I could hardly understand what she said, but then I started talking and I don't even remember what I said.. My companions said I talked so fast they couldn't even understand me, but the native lady did! It was so cool. We've done the RC and the TEC too. We teach the first lesson in English two times the the 2nd lesson in English two times then we do Spanish first and 2nd two times each. Its kinda scary but I gotta get over it. It's weird trying to pretend to teach investigators when you know they are teachers and members and probably know more than you do.
I just looked at my arms and apparently walking to the temple this morning I got sunburned.
okay I gotta go! Thanks again!
