Halo!!! Mi familia en las estados unidos, i love being able to hear all that you guys are up to!! The fourwheeling looks so sweet!!! my fourwheeler is still running:) so you wanted the story mom why im supposed to be here, so there are tons of peolple here that i kinda knew through friends back home and there is this one elder that is from salt lake and he had originally got his call to serve in guatemalla but then they changed it to argentina then again to my mission....remember how i had those dreams that i was going to go to guatemalla.....CRAZY! him and i have got pretty tight. So yeah my companion and i are getting along well and hopeffully we will continue to get better:)
I was sitting at church on sunday and then it hit me that it was stephanies birthday!! shes the big 24!! tell her i love her and hope that she continues to have an amazing time with work friends, oh and of course jake;) haha But there is a guy from cali that was in the pennocks stake! he said he knew chelsey! its Elder Cleggerrs or something like that.
So this week this is what happened, one day my companion and another companionship were running and we were going to this massive tower that is supposed to be the biggest tower in all of south america, and we got to it and its about 2 miles away then on the way back we decided to go a different way we had never gone! and my comps shin has these problems so he couldnt run anymore so we started walking and the other guys just kept going and we had no idea where to go!! so we just kept walking and then we hit the FREEWAY!! thats no where close to where we live and so i just went up to this guy and asked him where Alcantra Ave. is but i couldnt remember how to say street!!! so he just gave us directions that i barely understood so we were pretty much on our own then we just walked along the freeway and saw a street and felt good about it then turned and it took us right to this super sick park that we had gone to a few days earlier!! it was super cool:) The lord will take care of us in everyway!
This sunday was fast sunday and so we started our fast saturday at lunch and so i did then when sunday lunch came i just felt like i should continue to fast until dinner and as hard as it was i realized that if there is any promptings then i may as well follow them! i still dont know why but i just still did it!! The power for reading the scriptures here is incredible! everytime i open the book questions are answered, i love this spiritual high i get here:)
So we were all sitting in class and talking about the difference of the CCM and the mission field and i made this connection that we are in a hypothetical "spirtitual prison". let me explain, so in spiritual prison we are there to learn and teach so that we can become better to go to paradise, and thats what we are! we are here to learn and grow so that we can be ready to be in the field! kinda dumb connection but everyone loved it and wrote it down:)
Everyone loves dad, because i am always saying little quotes and sayings that he has told us all our lives and people had never heard them just worshop them! so im starting to write them all down so that i can have the "book of Dad" haha the humor is very odd here..
Today we were out shopping and we passed these teenagers that were just high out of their minds and were stone drunk, they came up to us and were offering me beer and stuff! i had never realized how common that all of those things are outside of mormon central utah. Really an eye opener..
I love you all and hope you are having an amazing time, because i am having such a sick time!!!!! love this, love the opportunity i have to be here!!! peace out till next week:)
