December Post

Family!!!!!

Wow, so much to say and so little time!!!

First and foremost, I will be emailing Christmas day.  No Skype because I only have thirty minutes.  I am not sure what time I will be emailing, most likely, the same time.  4 my time.  But don’t quote me on that!!! ;)

I have yet to receive any packages or mail that was a bummer yesterday. But I’m sure there are some to come.  I am looking forward to getting some stamps, because I have been piling up some letters to send, just have to date them all and put them all in one envelope...  Ha-ha.  So I will be emailing you on the25 and on Thursday!!!  So that’s almost back to back!!  

Some simple things I wanted to share with you.  It has been raining here and it is way awesome, it is odd though having such ahoy rain, back home, everything cooled down.}

I could really use a plate of mom’s biscuits and gravy!!!!  The bowl of cereal and a glass of juice in the morning is getting a little old ;)

I love you all.  can’t wait to email you on Christmas,  when I email on the 25, I will send a quick message right when I get on that way if you guys are sitting next to the comp you can  just email back and fourth.

I send love to all and can’t wait to get your package and letters can’t wait till you get the rest of my letters too!!1 it is amazing how much more meaningful the letters are.

12-13-12 Update

I REALLY need to find a better way to send pictures; Google mail won’t let me send more than 25 MB so I just sent the few.  The picture with sisters in it, those are the only sisters in the ccm.  :) size wise; you see how small it is.  I miss you guys so much!!!!!!!  Next week I will try and send more pictures, but we will have to see.   Have sent two letters home, plus one to Mashayla via our home address. ;) Please get it to her.  Anyways, the spirit is so strong here!  I am so grateful for the gift of tongues, without it, I would be way stressed out.  But I am able to stay focused and stay calm in my studies and in applying the language.  Pretty soon it will be easier to write to you guys in Spanish! Especially with this Spanish key board. ;)

I hope you guys are enjoying the Christmas spirit.  I got to decorate the cam yesterday for service.  :) We hung stuff on the walls and put up a tree.  I love you guys so much.  It is hard to express the difficulties of calling home for Christmas, because I love the heck out of my President and he understands the importance of talking on the phone with the family, it is just there are seventy or so missionaries here and they just can’t accommodate that many calls.  He says it would be unfair for me to call home because you guys bought a call card. Because the poor kid who could {t afford one wouldn’t get to call home.  If we can’t call home, we will defiantly be able to email, on the day before, of, or after, not sure yet.  Ill let you know as the time gets closer.  

It is amazing to me that 3 weeks has already passed.  The old Latinos have left for the mission field and new Latinos ands n Americans are coming in today.  Ha-ha their ccm stay starts today.  

Tell the ward:  Imam loving the Argentina country and love the Lords work.  I encourage all the members of my loving ward to seek missionary opportunities as I have witnessed the blessing of member’s help in converting investigators.  I love you all and thank you all for your love and support.

Letter #2

I miss you all so much!  I only get a half hour to email each Thursday.  so I again am writing faster than I can correct on the screen..

The sunsets are beautiful here.  I love watching the sun set as I sit in a class room learning such a difficult, but beautiful language.

The missionary work is progressing oh so boldly!  I am so lifted up in every class!  Every devotional is amazing beyond description.  Our MTC president is amazing with immense knowledge.  I am able to sit down with him and ask him questions and he just has the answers for them all!

My district is composed of 7 elders (me and my companion, another companion ship and a tri+panionship.) all of whom I came here with on the plane.  

Please thank Madge and Fred for the pen set they gave me... i have used them the whole time and love them

I am enjoying going to the temple in Spanish!  It is so beautiful not yesterday, but the Thursday before, I had been praying that Heavenly Father would send grandma great as an angel to protect and teach me.  As I waited for our session to start, I prayed that god would let me feel her presence stronger than imaginable.  Once in the celestial room, I could actually FEEL her arms around me... i have never before felt that before, never felt the physical influence of an unseen spirit.  It was beautiful.

I need some envelopes (3.5 * 5) and us stamps!!!! If you guys want mail.  I borrowed one set today and sent it via pouch, but borrowing will only go so far.  I can’t get us stamps here obviously.  I could however find envelopes.  So envelopes only if you are sending a package that has room... the stamps can be sent in pouch. (Just use an envelope or call church headquarters)

Prociliting was amazing!  I had one distinct act.  The Holy Ghost prepared one soul for my message, I was able to give him a book of Mormon, and teach him part of lesson one, and invite him to church the following day.  (By the way, on Sundays, we have a sacrament room in the ccm) so this man has started a change in his life.  I wrote more about the experience in a letter, you guys will get it soon.

I love listening to mom’s music!

I did buy a bible in Spanish from the distribution center here.  50 bucks or so.  Don’t worry about that charge on my card.

The MTC is like school except I’m learning the greatest subject on earth!!!! The gospel!!!

I play volleyball and basketball on my free times.
