Hola
Four weeks.. and its still the same things over and over. I really don't know what to write. We have played soccer 5 times now.. and I have had our only goal in 4 of the 5 games. Woot. That's the most exciting thing I can think of.. Haha.
I didn't see the prophetat all, although at our devotional last friday there was Oaks, Holland, Christofferson, Bednar, Anderson, Perry, and I think Scott. So that was really cool. Elder Holland spoke very powerfully about having the Holy Ghost as your third companion. Very cool.
I didnt get to meet my Mission President because of the dang swine flu. Bogus. Just an excuse for Elders to take a day off and nap. :P
As far as teaching goes we are doing better. We were doing a whole lot better in teaching in unity even though I would always have to clear up things or go back to make sure some points made sense, but we are teaching with the spirit and that's what counts. This week we are teaching Lección Uno en Español, that will be interesting... Me talking for half an hour in Spanish. My companion is really struggling with it. We are still having to work a little bit on pronunciation with him, while I get to teach about Apostasy, Priesthood, Christ and the Atonement, and Joseph Smith and the Restoration... all in Spanish. Yeehaw. I am memorizing scriptures and stuff in Spanish like it aint no thang, so thats nice.
A little fun thing, one of our branch counselors has a very unique voice that probly sounds a lot like Ray Romano or Scott, but with their nose plugged. Also add in a little bit of a St George or Parowan accent and you´ve got it. Entonces, I can mimmick it exact and at least once a day i get someone in our zone prodding me to do the Brother Leuwellyn voice. Es muy divertido, ¿no?
I don´t know if ya´ll care but every week we have to do a teaching appointment at the TRC and that´s our main investigator. But we are also supposed to go to the TEC twice a week to teach or do workshops. And on top of that we are supposed to teach at least one teacher in our zone taht pretends to be a progressing investigator. The TRC is where we teach the full lesson no matter what and thats where we are teaching lección una in spanish. At the TEC we mostly get demonstrations and do lesson plan workshops etc. Our progressing teach investigator was Alejandro (Hermano Massey) for the first 3 weeks, but he went to Cali for the summer sooo we didn´t have a teacher for a while. So we went fake contacting yesterday and fake met Felipe (Hermano Peterson) and will be teaching him this Saturday I guess.. maybe in Spanish, who knows.
But yeah Elder Barrett and Elder Tanner Lofgren have left the MTC. Elder Casey Hartle is here and we chat it up everytime we see each other. I guess Elder Nate Sorensen came in yesterday so hopefully I´ll see him a bit.
I am still coughing and breathing heavy. It still sounds like a thunderstorm in my chest, but I feel fine. I just cannot wait to teach real people. I´m starting to get sick of teaching Mormon investigators, but I geuss thats whats best to help. I love yo uall so much. Really everyone. Friends and family, thanks for everything. Thanks Chelsea tooo, you are the best.
Love The wise man of the tribe.

Family-
