Week 1 -- Oct. 5, 2019
Hola mis amigos! ¿Comó le va?
My P-day is Saturday for the next 5 weeks, however as a result of general conference being today, I don't have a lot of time to talk.
The MTC is both super awesome and super hard!! Everyone told me learning a language is hard, but no one told me justtttt how accurate that statement was!
Mi compaño is Elder Van Wagenen, he's pretty cool and we get along well, however he is VERY patriotic, so a few people in our district have learned not to discuss politics with him...
The food has been fairly good, definitely missing mi Madre's cinnamon rolls!!!
So here's a funny story.. The first night here, none of us in our room could sleep at all, it was FREEZING!!! Literally so cold!!! So the next day we decided we has to cover the AC vent, luckily Elder Van Wagenen had his American flag duct tape! With that and my towell we covered the vent up!!!! Only for the air flow to make it come off an hour later... Giving up in defeat, as we walked out, we noticed this magical little white box to the left of the light switch, labeled, "Thermostat".... it was all the way turned down... Yeah go Elder Boden for spending all of his free time (which we have had almost none of) trying to duct tape a vent, rather than simply looking for a thermostat...
The spirit felt here is incredible! I have no doubt this is where I am supposed to be! Yes the language is hard, but I know that it will come through faith, prayer, and LOTS of studying!!!
Yesterday my district was challenged to only pray in Español for the rest of our mission, and anytime we talk, to first try in Español.
I miss and love all you guys!!! Hope everything is going great back home!!
Yo sé que Dios es nuestro Padre Celestial, y estoy agredecido por el amor que Jesucristo tiene por mí.
