My week was pretty great! We had pday on Friday and we got to go to the temple and do a session!! it was a little difficult in spanish but i understood probably 85% of it all so that's good! then we went to this store that is in front of the temple and bought some stuff, we don't get to go often so i got what i needed like cover for my book of mormon and a backpack for pday and stuff. as far as appointments and teaching, this week was a little rough, we didn't find anyone new and didn't have very many lessons. but that's okay because we are demonstrating our obedience and our diligence and i know that the lord will bless us! For Christmas our zone is having a party on the 22nd where were doing a white elephant dealio and were watching a movie, For us Christmas day is a normal day like any other day. we get up get ready and preach the gospel. woo hoo! haha but i do get to skype home on Christmas! ill just be using a computer of one of the members in our ward. i don't know what time yet but ill figure it out with my companion and ill let you know in next weeks email! also i get to call on the 22nd for like 2 minutes just to set up the time and what not so well know for sure by then! thank you for everything you're so awesome!!! Im having so much fun down here its awesome!! as far as music the easiest thing is for me to just download songs and stuff from lds.org or other church websites, our mission president says we cant have anything like piano guys or david archuletta because although they're members. they're in it for the money and he just says its better to avoid it altogether, but i would greatly appreciate if i could get the inside out acapella and any other cool groups that you know of that pretty much just do hymns. Awe man shucks to hear about football but that's okay!! wish coltin the best of luck!!
With our ward the missionaries are in charge of a lot, pretty much we always have to make sure that church starts on time and that people are reverent, its a lot different down here. usually we show up during mutual on Tuesdays to help out the bishop with things he needs but that's about the extent of things we do with the ward other than the ward leaders. we have to constantly teach them and help them because the best way to find new people is through the members of the church and that's hard because they don't understand that very well that they need to help us. tracting does practically nothing it just shows diligence. references through ward members is the best form to find people. its a little tough but im confident that we can do it.
Sounds like everything's going good in burley! cant wait to call you guys next week!" im so excited!!!
