For those of you who don’t know, I entered the Missionary Training Center on Wednesday of this week. And my short time here has been amazing! I have learned so much and met some great people. Its actually pretty weird writing this much in English because for the past couple of days my only communication has been in Spanish. We work hard here and study the language for about 3 hours a day outside of regular class times ( about 5 hours a day ). Its not easy but we love it and God is definitely helping us out in that arena. "El don de Lenguas" is what we call it, the Gift of Tongues, and even with as poor as my Spanish is right now, I can testify that it is real. Besides language classes we have been holding workshops and meetings daily to study the scriptures and to learn how to invite others to come unto Christ. My testimony of this gospel has strengthened so much and I am SO grateful for my Heavenly Father and my Salvador Jesus Christ.
On another note, we are split up here into Districts. We have 12 people in District 28c ( 10 Elders y 2 Hermanas ) and I love these missionaries. They are all from all over the country, pero many are from Utah, and are all going around the world to spread Christ's message in Espanol. I was made District Leader on Thursday and have really enjoyed getting to know these awesome missionaries. They are all such incredible examples to me and have amazing stories and relationships with our Heavenly Father. Seriously I think our district might be the GOAT. My companion, Elder Warner is such a stud too. He's sitting right next to me so I gotta be careful what I say but.... He is really such a humble and hard working dude and I am so, so grateful for his example and motivation. I'm also grateful because he's the only thing keeping me from getting fat in here. He is a super healthy dude and inspires me to limit my chocolate milk intake to only 1 gallon a day. Great guy. It was funny on our first day when we found out that the salad bar was converted to an ice cream bar and we had VERY different reactions.
I miss you guys a lot but honestly la CCM, the MTC, has helped me so much to focus on this work. And I love it. I know this is where I'm supposed to be right now, its God's Plan, and I'm so grateful to be here. Keep the emails coming though, they've been great and I can check and read them every day but only respond on Saturdays.
I'll leave you with our District's escriptura favorita,
Y por el poder del Espiritu Santo, podreis conocer la vedad de todas las cosas
-Moroni 10:5
te amo,
