MTC week
Hola,
This is coming in from your lovely neighborhood elder Fuell.
First off this week has been the hardest by far. For one reason and one reason only the water has been freezing in the showers. We found out just barely that our water heater was off. Everyone was too scared to tell presidente Duvall except for me and my Companion. The reason this has made my week so difficult is because I rely on showers for spiritual strength just like any progressing youth in this glorious gospel. No joke, when we got the heat back for that next morning my soul rejoiced on the most high.
Besides that this week has been so funny. I cried myself to sleep everynight because of laughing. The latinos kept coming into our room and talking it up with us. There is one elder they always teased in the funniest ways. There was one night they pointed at him and said, "Usted es elder Barbie" and then he just started laughing so hard. and there was another latino that whenever he said "wow" he would throw a g and an a in there too and it sounded like, "Gawaow" it sounded like how you would imagine arnold schwartznegar saying it. The english they did know was hilarious. One of them was trying to tell us that he knew MMA fighting and jew jitsu (sorry I don´t know how to spell that) and he said, "I can break your arms legs and hip in 5 seconds" I was dying when he said that because he said it with the most calm serious expression on his face.
Those two elders left this morning for there missions and I am going to miss them soo00ooo much.
Next, I got to go out contacting this week. I got 9 refferals. My companion for it was latino (they made us switch) so he would talk about the church and I would bear my testimony to them. The people here are really receptive to families so I have been working on my testimony about family which hasn´t been too hard because my family is pretty great. I actually have a story about that too in just a second. Anyways, there was this one family that was interested but they were really busy. I felt the urge to give them my book of mormon that I had been studying in. So I tried and they were saying, " we have the bible, we have the bible" (in spanish of course) and so then we explained to them what it was. I told them I wanted them to have it. That it was a gift and they seemed so grateful and excited. It was way cool.
On Sunday, so on Sundays they pick out missionaries at random to share a talk. So all of the missionaries prepare talks. We´re always terrified. (all of us Nortes) So no one from my districto was asked to talk this sunday so in our district meeting we shared our talks. Then we just started sharing stories and stuff because that´s how we roll. So we were sharing our testimonies on families. Because like I said I have been practicing that. When it got to me I bore my testimony on my mother and how I can always see her in my imagination on her
Until next time,

When it got to me I bore my testimony on my mother and how I can always see her in my imagination on her
knees
praying for me and mi hermano who are in the mission field. I can also
see her praying for all of my siblings and for our well being and when I
shared that with my testimony.... it was cool. Everyone in my district
was balling like babies. So thanks mom you made my district cry. ;) I
don´t remember crying though. ;)
Last story,
Like an hour ago me and Blake were practicing our penalty kicks on
eachother for soccer and when he kicked it the funniest thing happened.
So he kicks it right, it goes to the right, because Blake (Elder
Sandquist) is left footed, I am fairly lazy so I was about to let it
just go in. But right when I look left to watch it go in it hit off the
pole and hit me right in the face. I was laughing soo hard. Blake
felt so bad.
So next week I will be happy to share stories about my amigos here in the CCM (MTC). One of which raised tigers and his dad is a famous magician another got the swat called on him and they literally sent a helicopter. It was an accident though.
