week 3: a shot at fame

These ain't no cafeteria chicken nuggets...

This week went by super fast. It seems like from Sunday just flies by. It hasn't rained in a few days, which is nice because we can play soccer on the field. If it rains, the field is all soaked. And my ankle is healed enough to play, but it still hurts every time afterwards. Our district leader got really sick on Wednesday  and he asked me to give him a blessing which was really cool. We got a whole bunch of new gringos last Tuesday night, and the MTC has not gotten a decent amount of people here. Last Wednesday we also got a new group of Mexicans  which means we got two new ones living with us! they are both really cool, and I enjoy talking to them in Spanish.

  I feel pretty confident about my Spanish now. I can't use subjunctive very well yet, but I can definitely carry on a casual conversation with all the Mexicans  The Mexicans only stay for 12 days so every time a new group has come in, our district leaves class for an hour or so, and goes and talks with all the Mexicans and their families, and I'm surprised how much I know. It is really cool to speak it. This week we also got to do TRC, which is when a group of Mexican volunteer members come in from the city, and we sit down with them for 30 minutes, get to know them and then leave them a little message.

 Also this week representatives from Salt lake City came to film for the "World Report" on the mexico MTC and they chose our district! So my district and I will probably show up on the world report wherever it is showed! I think it is shown during general Conference on TV, between sessions.  They just filmed us with out investigators, teaching them and then they pulled some of us aside and interviewed us personally.  

Elder Daines is hilarious. He is going to Kansas too.

 Oh yea and earlier this week, I was flipping a large two pound coin from England and I tried to catch it on my tongue and it wen straight down my throat, and got stuck in my chest, so I had to eat something to get it to go down, but it hurt a lot while it was there.

 We got two new phony investigators to teach. It is hard to know exactly what they need to hear from the gospel.

Elder Budge is definitely having a hard time. His companion has been sick for a day or two now, so Elder Budge stays at home all day to take care of him. Elder Budge is a trooper! He has incredible patience.
