How is everyone doing? so Yesterday we hit our half way day in the MTC!
It is crazy how time flies by! its probably because we are without
phones and what not. Last night at the devotional we had a speaker named
James B Martino of the seventy and his talk was awesome! He had served
in central America for 9 years of his life! he said the first flight
there from the MTC he couldn't understand a word that the flight
attendants were saying lol. he also said he was asked a question in Spanish the first night and he froze and said nothing! the question was
what time is it haha. i can already imagine similar experiences
happening to me the first few nights in Italy! well everything is just
awesome here. I am starting to feel a bit more fluent when i speak but
its not even close to how much i should know by the time i get out
there!! in our classes we have been learning all sorts of grammar and
such! So this week everyone in my zone found out that i hate spiders so
of course they have all been catching spiders and surprising me with
them. its a normal guy thing to do i guess. but anyway this bug they
caught was like the size of my finger and it was so nasty! and i knew
they would put it on my bed or something! so i decided to find a way to
kill it..... without touching it! so the guys all had it in a bag and
this Elder Kenney said he would eat it for 5 bucks!!! I called it a
deal! so he ended up eating the thing like some kind of fear factor
event and we all rounded up a couple bucks to equal 15 dollars! His said
the only thing that was going through his head was that he had to build
a huge fence in the summer for 9 dollars an hour and he figured if he
could make fifteen for the bug that was no big deal!! Man the
Missionaries here are awesome People! Oh and the other night we had a
bunch of Nerf guns so we had this huge war!!! right in the middle of it
there was this old security guard who came and some elders shot him lol!
he didn't think the foam bullet war was very funny and he actually
collected all of our guns lol. well no more Nerf gun fights haha! for
more of the spiritual things we talked about following the promptings we
have. We watched a short film about following these and how president
Thomas S Monson once followed a prompting to go visit someones house so
he did. he didn't know why but it turns out it was this woman's birthday
and no one had said anything to her or written her any cards. the woman
was so happy to have a visitor! The President Monson said admitting that
he didn't know but God did! i love this story because we don't always
know why we are told to do something but we know we must follow these
promptings in life and we will be blessed! Ive been so blessed to be
called as a servant and as a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ! I
love and miss everyone i hope everyone is doing great! id love to hear
from you all!
I know that Satan is good at pushing buttons.... that's something
we learned about this week. and also i helped with a blessing for a girl
in our district, she was really sick and dizzy and stuff so we gave her a
blessing! It was really spiritual, I just hope she
has enough faith to be healed which i know she does! I don't have much time, I have to go to eat and go to the temple! love you!
tell everyone hi from me!
