Hey Mom!!
Things are going good here!! Well I guess minus the SNOWWW!!!!! I love snow! But like it's freezing, so I guess as a missionary I don´t love snow as much!! But it´s fun to look at!
It has been a fun week of talking with people in the street and getting rejected like 7 million times, but I´m to the point where it´s just fun! I love seeing the random excuses that people make for not being able to talk to us! And then the awesome people that stop and give us their address and number and everything! I don´t know if I've said this already but it´s like no big deal here to just give out your address. I feel like it would be weird in the US but here we can talk to them for like 30 seconds and if they don´t have time they give us like all their personal information, so that works! And occasioanlly it´s fake, but usually it´s real and we have had a couple of good lessons this week. We don't have many, but I loved all the ones we had. Especially giving a temple tour yesterday. I didn´t know how to say much in spansih but it was fun!! It was kind of a bummer but the temple is closed like half of January for cleaning so I don´t get to atted the temple until March, which for me feels like FOREVER!! But then it flies bye in like 30 seconds because time is so weird on a mission. Like a day feels like a year but then I look back and it´s like wowww I´m about to have six weeks with my companion here!
We are having fun!! Especially with the four of us in our piso we are all good buddies! And the ham will be gone fairly soon! We got the the bone on one side a while ago and are working our way on the other! It just keeps getting better and better the closer you get to the bone! So no I guess we aren´t sick of it yet!! Sad news though is that you proabbly can´t buy it in the US, like it´s there super rarely and I think it sells for thousands of dollars there... Sooo proabably not a good idea! But one thing you guys should import if you want a little taste of my drink of the week is called Pony Malta. It´s from Ecuador and Elder Galeano and I have been obsessed with it! The other Elders don't like it but we LOVE it!! Careful though because in some south american countries the malta has alcohol, so get the Pony kind and if it´s not too expensive buy some and try it!! You know how I´m not big on soda but this stuff is Great!!!
Hmmm not too much food from members this week so not really any good food stories! I´ve been eating a lot more spansih food and I love love spanish tortilla! I want to learn how to make it from scratch! One of these days I´ll try it!
Hmm favorite scripture of the week I´m not sure... Well I studied all about prophets this morning and two I liked were in 1 nephi 22:2 because like it shows that prophets use the same spirit we have to get their revelation, it isn´t something like grander I guess, although I would suppose that as prophet you would be quite a bit more in tune with the sprit than your average member of the church haha. And then in Mosiah 8, I love the scriptures about seers, and I was reading about seers in the bible dictionary and true to the faith and how that is the best gift a man can recieve on the earth. Oh and another one! Probaably my favorite. D&C 1:38. Super fuerte about like prophets and how they are literally the mouthpiece of God and how anything they say WILL come to pass, because it is as if God said it to us! So ya that was my study today! It was fun!! I started using that study journal we bought in deseret and I love it!!
Hmmm Hope you all have a good week! Enjoy your bikerides and hopefully some of my rain and snow will head your way! I love you Mom!!!
