Hola Familia,
So finally i got an account and set it up. Took me long enough but the first week it was busy and then last week i set it up and then haha i forgot that i needed your email. haha and so i didnt have it but lucky i found it this week.
Anyways. so this week has been pretty sucky with a few bits of light here and there. oh first off crazy story of when i thought i was being damned to h#$@. So every saturday we go to the TRC and then so we went this saturday and we were focusing on the first lesson again. but we had to contact them and get to know these investigators in spanish. this was my face the whole time :0

i have a way hard time understanding what they say kus my mind is kinda slow.
but this actually went pretty decent and it was alright. then we went back in
and the guy we taught has a rep around our zone as being the hardest guy to
teach. he is a real tool bag. haha chiste. but so were teaching him and we did
pretty good with the help of the spirit of course not by our selves. but he
was trying to pull a catholic approach. i was braddah please i was raised as a
catholic small kine. so i shared alot of the things that went on in our
conversion. which is a real blessing because you can apply it in their
situation. your not just teaching your trying to help them kus really thats
what the gospel is. its a strength for us and in no matter what. well, it's a
benefit of the gospel. no se. but yeah so after the lesson we usually are just
like told to get out of there. but he was like no i'm not done with you. he
talked to us for 20 minutes and we stayed to be nice you know. dont want to be
rude. but i kept hearing in the back of my head to just leave. but i'm
retarded and didnt listen sooo..
we get back to the class and our teacher comes in and she is
distraught. because that guy was teaching us stuff that should be taught by
the spirit not his ego. kus for real he was a ego maniac. but me and my comp
Elder Reagan didnt really remember anything he said.
she gave us scriptures kus she tought we were going to be in great danger ...
it was like the part in the Joseph Smith Movie when Joseph Smith Just stands
up and calls them you phenes of the Infernal pit. I was like those guys. i was
like shoot i'm going to walk out of this place and leave my suitcase and
everything kus i felt i was a Phene of the Infernal pit. haha its kind of funny
to think about now but, man i just about peed my pants for a couple minutes in that room.
so that day i felt horrible! but i watched something from General Conference
about The savior and it seemed as though my faith was strengthened and i
remembered that you know what? maybe i am a phene, but i have the savior and i
started to not care what happen, but to make sure that it wouldn't happen
again. and that i would do anything i can to always have the spirit to be with
me and that i won't let anything get me down. so i started working even harder
reading scriptures trying to feel the spirit and working on helping the
investigators.
And so on Monday we had a Family Home Evening. (I know that you are
all doing it) haha. but we had the lesson and chance to teach our teacher BRo.
Mcpherson about how he can gain faith. Funny thing about here in the MTC your
in tune with the spirit a ton but you need to recognize it as such. and i know
that can be like that at home also. Look for the blessing of the spirit in
your life, do it. But funny thing right before we taught the lesson the story
of the Mokuluas came in my mind. about how i was retarded and got smashed
against the rocks and tossed into the ocean. and i said, there's times in our
lives where we are caught at a fork like that situation and you get lost and
confused and your looking for something, anything. and i said when i was
swimming i concentrated on the rock. and i thought that's like Jesus Christ.
Faith needs to be centered on Jesus Christ. and if we build our foundation
upon his rock and what he did for us. we cannot fall. CANNOT. bad things are
gonna happen and stupid stuff will happen too. but it doesnt matter have Faith
in Christ and you can get through.
anyways hope you get this soon. im doing good here. learning alot and im so
thankful for this experience. let me know how things are at back home and yeah
thanks for all the letters and packages they help a ton and I am just way thankful,
so i hope everyone knows that. take it easy and i'll talk to you later next week
wednesday. so look out for these emails
