Como estas? Gracias for the letters, especially Dad for providing me with the baseball news (go astros!) I guess my last letter made it sound like I was a little down, yeah right!! Alot can be lost in the written word! Well I am really enjoying my experiences again. Spanish is coming along well, I taught most of the second lesson is Spanish yesterday. My comp is struggling a little with the language. Elder Spricher and I are getting along great, we are teaching awesome together. In the TRC, one of the teachers told us that we were feeding off of each other well, which doesn’t happen often in the MTC. I have already learned so much more about the gospel, and now I am getting pretty comfortable teaching. Dad, have you seen the recent church news. It has an article about President Hinckley visiting Taiwann, and it has Phillip Ho in the article and a picture. I am sure that you have already seen it. Also I have seen and talked to Presdient Jackson quite a few times. He seems to think that I am a pretty special guy. Last week we had L Lionel Kendrich from the Seventy speak to us. He was pretty good, he spoke about recieving Personal Witness and Testimony.
SUnday was Fast Sunday, it was really tough. The whole day I started feeling dizzy and sick, the thing I needed most was a drink of water. Fasting is rough sometimes (a true 24 hour fast) but we need to show our physical bodies who is boss! So how is Shadowfax doing? Does she miss me? I sure miss her. WHenever I hear a bird chirrpping, I think of her, in fact I think I miss her more than
I miss anyone else. Hahaha,, Jk. So I guess that I better start wrapping up.
Remember to finish the book of Mormon before the end of the year like President Hinckley told us to, and tell everyone to STEP up the letter writing. I have only heard from you three and grandma. Well, I don’t think that I need anything at the moment, except family pictures since I forgot those again. (he then jabbers something in spanish)
p.s. the estimated departure date for the other 2 Raleigh Elders is Sept 26.
Mine is the 28th. That is trash haha
ps.s. my toenail finally fell off!!!!!
Con Amor
