Mom's weekly probe into the life of an Elder:
How did you like conference?
What was your favorite talk?
Where did you go to see conference?
What did you eat? Did the mission do anything special?
How did you do trainning your first companion? Is he a greeny?
What was the hardest part about being a trainer?
What was the easiest or funnest part about training?
Well conference was great it was completly different here in the misson. I had my journal and everyhting and when you thought there was just two talks that sessio was over My favorite talk was probably Pres Eyrings But they wre all soo good. We went to the stake center to watch conference on saturday it was basically the missionaries there all day. We did get to watch it in english All sesions were like that except Sunday morning everyone came and they ran out of room after an houd soo they switched our english to spanish I still understood but it wasnt the same. On saturday between sessions we went to mcdonalds as a zone then before priesthood session we just chilled there wasnt enough timt to do anything. On suday our bishop and his wife feed us they love us. Monday through friday we worked as normal. Welll it is awesome Training the thing is with training is that it lasts two changes 12 weeks and yep he is straight out of the CCM. No one says greenie here i dont think there is a nick name here for new missionaries. The first week was pretty hard but one thing i have learned is to let go of all your pride and after that it was and is extremly easy and fun. The easiest is the teaching he loves to talk and teach and is ready to work. My spanish isnt perfect but its enough to get by. One thing is when the 12 week program is done i will have 6 months in my area and that almost definately means i will leave i dont think it will be too hard to leave ingeneral it is that i will leave right before chrismas 14 of december to be in a new area. well it is whatever the lord want because that is the best for me. Alright Mom i love you and talk to you next week.
stuff to Dad:
Thanks pops For the update on everthing That stinks that you couldnt go to priesthood session it was really good Elder Holland gave a pretty heavy talk to basically all the priesthood especially enphasizing senor misionaries. It was soo much more spiritually uplifting. One of my favorites was of Pres. Eyring well all of then were great we did get to watch in english. We finally have a fecha again for a baptize we are pumped my comp is so direct with all that stuff we can baptize two families this month maybe three. It was pretty hard at first going from being trained to to training but alot of prayers did help and are going to. I have been reading a talk by elder McCallister about being consecrated missionaries it talks about all the things thatmake a great missionary one completly devoted to the lord. Thanks dad for eveything love you and talk to you next week.
