Email from August 9, 2014 - At the MTC


So this is my district!! I was glad to know that my companion is super cool. I mean that because my companion is a very active person so I don't have to drag my companion to work out or play some basketball. Speaking of basketball I can say we have some really good players! And some that like to play for fun. If you can find me in the picture you just have to look to the right of me and that's my companion. My whole district is very awesome and friendly. When I first arrived I expected that we would have an orientation of some kind but that was shattered to pieces immediately when we went straight to class and the teacher spoke in nothing but Spanish. I had to recall all my previous experience in Spanish and I can say that I have gotten better a lot better. My companion I'm pretty sure speaks fluent Spanish but he's humble or something and doesn't say that he is. The spirit is really strong everywhere we go but there are sometimes it gets a little rough when it gets loud. Yesterday we taught our first investigator … all in Spanish too. I felt the same way I did when I was giving a talk. I froze and I couldn't remember a lick of Spanish it was awful. I'm pretty sure I spoke a total of 4 sentences. I even got called out by the investigator! She asked me what I think and I swear there was 4 minutes in between each question. I understood her completely and I know what I want to say but I struggle translating it into Spanish.

Life is work, Spanish, work, gym time, work and then some more work. Here you don't waste a second because it's all important. Our teacher told us we need to be speaking Spanish as much as we can and hopefully that'll help. It might have. 

With all the love and maybe some more pictures once I get my camera
