Jacob - January 4, 2016

Hey mom, glad to hear that you had a good New Year's Day. Mine was pretty good. Elder G. And I just worked, but it was a little different because our curfew was moved back an hour. So instead of being out till 9 or 9:30, we had to be home at 8. So elder G. And I played soccer in the house trying to nutmeg each other. We also setup a goal thing that we do one on one with. To put it more simply my soccer skills have improved quite a bit these past 6-7 weeks. But this week was pretty good for the most part. I did get sick on Saturday, I'm pretty sure it was just food poisoning because it only lasted one day, but it still sucked. I was pretty much sleeping all day which was nice but weird.. Anyways I'm fine now so you don't need to worry. Um I guess the highlights of this week were that I was in a trio with elder Fischer and elder Galleguillos. That was pretty fun. Another thing is that for district meeting we read three talks called "Hope through the atonement of Jesus Christ," "Continue in Patience," & "Pride and the priesthood." They were all super good and I would recommend checking them out. That's probably mostly it for this week. I've been doing alright, the language is coming and I feel like I am able to understand a little bit more than before. At least compared to my first week. But I'm glad to hear that you get to study the Book of Mormon this year for your classes. It is such an awesome book. Last night we had the chance to teach a lady about it and she didn't want to accept it. But then we shared a scripture from it that pretty much opened the door to her taking it. Anyways it was really cool and I guess we'll see whether she takes the time to read it a little. But it was a cool experience. But I think that's mostly it. Love you mom and I hope you have a good week.
