Almost There!

Hey everyone,

I'm back this week, and there is a bunch of new stuff going on.
First, i am no longer allowed to speak any english during the day,
during any of my classes or during any meals, so its been going fun

My district is now the oldest district in the zone, and we have been
anxiously awaiting our travel plans (which should come on friday!!)

We have been teaching the lessons entirely in spansih for the last
little while, and Comprehension is going through the roof, especially
when we spend a lot of time just talking with the native speakers.

We have taken to drinking sangria senorial on monday nights (since its
basically our friday night) day before P-day. which is fun. We have
been doing well as a district, growing close and getting things done.

So everyone knows, i get Dear Elders around 4 o'clock, but its a rule
in my branch that we can't open any mail until that night when we get
back to the room, so don't worry, i'm not blowing off studying to read
letters and stuff.

K so a quick spiritual thought for everyone,

I want everyone to know how important The Atonement is for me in my
life. Jesus Christ suffered and died, taking upon him the pains of
the world (emotional and physical) he suffered so greatly that he
begged the father for that responsibility to be lifted from Him, but
he didn't give up(which He could have) He accepted the pain, because
he knew that only through Him would we be able to return to our Father
in Heaven. He took upon Him the pains, the sins, all of the
sufferings that we would have to face...we have a best friend, that we
can to in our darkest moments and ask for help, we have a companion, a
comforter that we can lean on in those times when we think that no one
can empathize, when we think that no one can understand. If we go to
Him with the sincerity of our heart, and with real intent, and with
faith in Him, we can recieve the assistance that we so deperately
need.

Y para concluir, Estoy muy animado por esta oportunidad que tengo para
aprender el idioma de Espanol. Yo se que si tratamos a seguir las
mandamientos de Dios, podremos regresar a su mansion en el reino
celestial, y no podriamos tener las oportunidades de esta vida, y las
bendiciones de la Expiacion sin su ayuda, y sin su gran amor para
nosotros.

I love all of you, and hope that you're all doing well

Please send me DearElders so that i know whats going on.
