Once dias mas

Well this week has been an awesome week. We got blessed again on tuesday night, and we got to hear from Elder M. Russell Ballard and his wife. It was so awesome! there always is a certain spirit in the air here and expecailly when an apostle of the Lord is here. He talked about setting realistic goals, that make you stretch and then going out and getting them. He said, without setting goals you will never know if you have arrived, or if you have accomplished all that you really could. It was so great, he also talked about making a commitment to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and then go and follow Him for the rest of our lives, so I really enjoyed it.

 

We have got about a week and half left and everybody is getting pretty excited. We have been speaking alot of spanish and i have been feeling pretty good about it. The other day I talked to an Elder from the DR and he doesn't speak any english. it was Supér deficil to understand what he was saying. The Dominicans don't say there s's so when someone would say como esta usted? which means how are you, it sounds like como eta uted which is pretty cool but kind of hard to pick out words. Me and my companion walked away after talking to him and I was like did you understand anything he just said? and he was like not really, good luck! So I am really excited to start hearing what their spanish sounds like and to be immersed in it. Other than that experience the spanish feels pretty good.

 

Also thanks for the package and the peanut butter it is going to come in super handy when i am done there. It also is good to hear that all the hay is done this year and that the lawn is getting cut. Well I have really enjoyed my experience here a lot and it really doesn't feel like we have been here for almost 2 months. I felt like i have learned a ton. And i was blessed to stay here another week because i got to hear Elder Ballard and his testimony of Jesus Christ. I have gained a much greater testimony of Jesus Christ while being here and I know it will only increase while im out in the field, He truly is our savior and our redeemer, and He loves and suffered for each and everyone of us so that we can repent and be happy. I love it! I love the Gospel! I am so thankful for it. I hope everything is going well at home, I love you all
