Hey mom, its good to hear your doing alright, even if you've had a busy week. I think i understand what it feels like to be busy because here at the CCM, its nothing but busy. We get up at like 6:30 and are busy all day clear till like 10:30.. Im glad I worked for the DOT cause Its not hard for me to wake up. Anyways this week was alright. The food is good and Ive been nicknamed the Americanizer, because every oppertunity I have i try to make a sandwich with rolls or toast. Last night I made a spaghetti sandwich and one of my teachers looked at me like I was crazy, but I dont care cause it tasted good. Not as good as your cooking, but I manage. I have tried quite a bit of different stuff, mainly with the entrees, but at least im branching out. My classes have been good, but learning the language is hard... I found myself liking to memorize scriptures the most. One thats been on my mind is Ether 12:6 and 2nd Nephi 31:20 I think... Ether 12:6 says, Y ahora you moroni quisera hablar algo conocerniente a estas cosas. Quisera mostrar al mundo que la fe es las cosas y se esperan y no se ven, por tanto, no contendais porque no veis porque no recebis ningun testimonio sino hasta despues de la prueba de vuestra fe. I really like it because It talks about how we wont receive an answer from God, until after the trial of our faith. Ive been sharing it in my investigator lessons trying to get them to understand that we will only recieve an answer if we have a trial of faith like prayer or reading the book of mormon.. Tomorrow I have another lesson and I hope my investigator prayed, but well see. Anyways Ive been fine. I miss some stuff from home, but they keep us busy most of the day so I dont have time to think about it. Oh and this sunday I gave a talk in spanish at sacrament meeting for my branch. I talked about consecrating ourselves in the work and doing the will of god. Also I spoke about having complete faith in God. Im thankful lexie sent me a letter cause it talked about just that and I kinda stole her ideas for my talk, but everyone liked it i think. My spanish was probably brutal, but now Im most likely off the hook for giving talks now. Um Im not sure what else to tell you, but im doing good. Ill try sending you some pictures.
