Ok a few important things this week but I´ll start with something to lighten the mood. I know you folks from Utah will appreciate this.
There`s a guy in my district who I think lives somewhere out by Bear Lake and lives on a farm. He was talking about all of the work on his mission and how it EXCITES him and how he LOVES work. Please tell me my extended Rex family is reading this. I thought of you folks.
This week has been kind of slow. I miss my family and friends but am starting to enjoy this a lot more. Six more days. I`m ready for things to start picking up. I haven`t seen any prostitutes and or heard any gun shots lately. My spanish has improved drastically. I can almost understand everything and my speaking is decent. I can work my words around what I need to say, it`s just not consistently fluid. As far my doctorinal knowledge goes, I`m known for having an exceptionally impressive knowledge of the gospel and the scriptures. Which doesn`t really make sense because I hardly attended seminary and I didn`t really read my scriptures everyday either...
My new address, which people should start using immediately and which I hope is posted on my facebook is as follows:
A.P 340-A
Guatemala, Guatemala, C.A.
It`s so short because it`s basically a PO box at a post office. The mail is picked up and handed out every THREE WEEKS. Kill me. I appreciate all of you who have been giving me so much attention. You have no idea how happy it makes you to get mail on a mission until you personally live it. Ha.
As for you, father, where is my advice on the plan of salvation? How do I properly explain it thoroughly without it taking 2342 minutes? Use Preach My Gospel as a reference if you don`t know exactly what principles I need to teach. Chapter 4.
Oh also make clear on my blog that international postage is needed to send letters. I don´t think many people understand that. I've been getting a lot of mail but some people email me telling me they wrote me and then I don´t recieve anything. That's throwing me off a bit. My postage is different because it follows the pouch system. Also clarify that those using Dear Elder need to switch the destination from The Guatemala MTC to the Guatemala City South Mission. Dear Elder is still a free, efficient way to contact me. Also, I still haven't recieved those CDs I hope you sent. I hope you put Jesus stickers on the box.
Spanish is going pretty well. I´ll probably start writing you in Spanish in the next 3-4 weeks. My grammar is still pretty whack so there´s no need to embarrass myself but know that I can teach any lesson and address almost any Gospel principle in Spanish while also holding my own in casual conversation.
