Lots of practice and paciencia is the key!!
Well, goodness gravy, I have an incredibly much amout of things to tell ya!!! so,
The day I wrote last week, afterwards, I gave a blessing to one of the elders in my district. Elder Hinman, he has been struggling with the spanish and was really down, anyways, it was an incredible expierence for me and for the group, the spirit was so strong, and its amazing what happens when you be still and listen to the spirit. hes doing a lot better. I definantly learned alot from that expierence.
The next day we went to Caral, the oldest city in south america, it was a ton of fun and way cool!!! i think the peruvians there took more pictures with the huge group of LDS Gringo missionaries then the ruins at caral....so funny!!!
So last week was great, lots of learning, lots of teaching. I dont know if ive explained the teaching very much. WE have as a district two investegadors that we teach everyday, once in the morning and once in the evening. Its sooo awesome watching as we are all progressing in the español as well as the basic teaching of the Evangelio de Jesucristo!! im learning so much, and there is a lot i can improve on. The teachers we have are Hermano Carpio in the manana and Hermano Huaita in the noche. they are the best. There really understanding and help everyone out.
The language is coming. Lots of practice and paciencia is the key!! Over the last couple of days the group as set a goal to speak only spanish all day long, and man oh man it definantly helps. that is for sure. I have so far memorized The purpose of a missioanry, The first Vision, Moroni 10:4 and 5, and am almost done with D&C 20:37.
I was realized as district leader this past sunday and the new district leader is elder farnsy...he is the really smart kid. love him to death. The district is doing well, WE definanlty have the best district in the CCM and everybody knows it...kidding (kinda)
my room got a great suprise at 3 in the morning because half of our district is in a different room they decided to set off the loudest alarm at 3 in the morning in our room!!! so funny but ya i was a littler tired the next day!! That kind of puts into perspective how much fun we have together, i have so many stories but not much time!!! we sure do have a lot of fun and were all trying so hard.
Best thing ive eaten here is probably the churros...best thing ever...its like a dougnut with carmel on the inside. soo yummyy!!
for Physical activity this past week we started up some flippen awesome volleyball...that has been a blast!!!
This past Tuesday we had a devotional with a first Qurom of the 70, his name is really hard, hes way tall, and he speaks english...anyways he gave an incredible talk but my district and I had the special musical number, so We sang Más Cerca Dios a Ti, which is Nearer my god To thee. And I played the piano, and did the little solo i have for that song. it went really well and it was a great way to invite the spirit into the meeting!!!
I havent been to the LIma temple again yet and wont go today because its closed for cleaning which is really sad, but i will be going next week!!
Scrip for this week is 3 Nephi 11-26 Jesucristo es el mejor maestro. One day i hope i can teach like as 1/3 as good as he taught!!!
Yo se Que La iglesia de Jesucristo es verdadera. Yo se que el libro de mormón es la palabras de dios y mediente el libro nosotros encontramos felizidad!!!!
Te amo much!!!
