Hola! We only get 30 minutes to write, so hopefully I can say everyting I want/need to in that time.
Yesterday was the first day our mail was collected and I was definitely excited to see I got a good handful! Thanks!
We have been told to speak as much Spanish as possible both in and out of class, so at the end of each email I'll include my testimony in Spanish and I have a habit of throwing in a random word every now and again.
My first companion, Elder P. from a small town here in Utah, is great! I can't wait to get to know him more over these next 5 weeks. He's going to Salta, Argentina. I do have pictures, but they haven't told us how to take them from an SD card yet, so maybe next week I'll include some.
So much info has been thrown at me these past two and a half days! We can only sing, pray, and testify in Espanol, y ayer, we taught our first lesson....completely in Spanish! Mas deficil! No me gusta hablar solo en Espanol cuando no creo mucho. No esta bien haha. (Yes Trevin, I know there are supposed to be accents on some of those letters, but since I'm writing in mostly English I didn't want to have to constantly change the settings :P)
The food and facilities are great! Three all-you-can-eat meals 7 days a week! Esta muy bien!! OH!! There's chocolate milk available all day tambien :)
Normally on P-day we do our laundry in the mornings and go to the Temple in the afternoons, but our P-day is also usually on Fridays. With all the orientation stuff we had to do, this first week's schedule is different from weeks 2-5 and on week 6 we have an "ending instruction" schedule that I'll explain more about when it gets closer.
I'm so excited to be out here and having the opportunity to completely give of myself to the Lord 100% for the next 2 years!
Testifio que Jesucristo es el Salvador y ls Expiacion de Jesucristo es mas bueno para todos. Yo se nuestro Padre Celstial es un Padre de mucho amor por todos y este conocimiendo me ayuda a amor con otros. Amor es muy importante para el Evangelio y quiero sentirse que amor para todas las investigators. Y me dice estes cosas en el nombre de Jesucristo, Amen.
Before I run out of time, I just want to say that I love you all and thanks for the support!

I'm blown away with all the Spanish he already knows! The Gift of Tongues is awesome :) He sounds like he's having an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteI love how upbeat and confident he sounds. It's so good to hear from him so quickly and to hear his experiences so far. I had no idea it was so totally Spanish immersion from the beginning. Although, considering they only have 6 weeks, I guess it makes sense! It makes me want to learn Spanish so I can understand his little inserts and testimony!
