Wahoo familia como estan?! estoy muy agradecido para su correo electronico y las cartas que yo hube recibido! ok english. Thanks for the e-mails and letters. From everyone really. This week has been an awesome time here. At the MTC. Starting my 4th week officially tomorrow, so that's kinda nuts. Some of my district (the advanced bunch) are already gone...that's insane, but they left for the field, and Garrett, I gotta say I'm a little envious of you only being here for 3 weeks...you get to just run out and DO stuff instead of study study study study. Anyhow, I'm grateful to be here, I love learning, I love all the spanish going on. I just love missionary work! Sooo....This week was cool. Each week on Friday we have a "task" to complete. This week we had to 1)contact 2)get to know someone 3) set an appointment all in spanish, then once we set the appointment, pretend to teach the first lesson. Second time trying in english, we actually did most of the lesson in spanish. I'm getting really excited as my vocab continually is increasing and my unknown vocab (I think that's what I'm gonna call those words put into my mouth) keeps going up too! it's been pretty insane. I KNOW that God helps His missionaries. I thought I was pretty good at Spanish, but now I know how far I have to go, and I know He is beside me wanting to help. Funny story about language...I was (fake) contacting with my companion, Elder Reid, and we were getting to the 1st lesson part, and I was trying to bear testimony that if they were righteous, and follow the commandments, I know they will be blessed. Sooo I'm fully capable of contacting, getting to know someone, and telling them how absolutely wonderful the message is I have for them and how it can bless them and their families, but I had ABSOLUTELY no clue how to say righteous. It was really funny, cause I realized I learned how to say all the negative stuff the Gospel can overcome, but I hadn't learned how to say righteous. Goofy me.. Anywho...Another funny story! We have a "Cuarto Secreto" (secret room) where we practice teaching lessons. And by we I mean, Me, E. Reid, E. Allred, and E. Covey. Anyway, we've totally beefed up this story of our AWESOME secret room...and last week a new district was assigned to our previously empty room. No bueno. sooo...we of course had to make a NEW secret room, and we couldn't find one...anyhow, funny part right here. So we had to go "contact" 10 people in our building...well everyone was in class or busy...but we were SET on doing this, so we contacted people in line in the bathroom. we left with not 10...but 14 contacts, and no one else in our district had quite as much success (mom you may or may not want to include this in the mass e-mail...I trust your judgement.) Anyhow all is well, and now that there are 2 elders gone from my room (Elders Carrillo y De La Fuente have left for the field) and E. Allred and Covey never had roommates, we're consolidating our rooms, so we'll be roommates. That'll be great and I think we'll get a lot done. The work is good, the food is good, the Spirit is the wonderful peace I feel everyday even after the hardest ones. Thanks for your support, thanks for your prayers. If you have questions, shoot me an e-mail, ooor DearElder.com me or, write me a letter :) Thanks again.Hasta Ver-Elder Morgan
