letter numero 4.

wussup???
Thanks for all the letters this week, sorry it took me a couple days to send out some letters, katherine for some reason the letters i write to you keep getting sent back haha but i'll figure it out! Also if everyone could keep the letters in english for a little while longer that would be great. hahah my spanish IS getting better but still isn't great. O! but so all these advanced speakers came in this week and they speak so well ! we hang out with them all the time, its so tight. Their all like super funny mexican kids. aww i've met some of the coolest kids since I've been here. I met a russian kid the other day who came straight from russia, met the missionaries when he was 14 and got baptized and is the only one in his family. And I met a kid from Televiv Israel. He speaks spanish and hebrew and hes now learning english. haha so sool. Aww but the other day i was talking to some natives and had like a full conversation with them! I UNDERSTOOD THEM, AND I THINK THEY UNDERSTOOD ME! haha it was sooo cool. The gift of tongues is soo real. So i've actually been spending like all my time learning the language. Not as much lately on the gospel. Just cuz i had one lesson where i had a lot to say and stuff but didn't know how to say it ya know? so i was like, i'm over this. So now im always studying spanish. I figured im here for 6 weeks just to learn spanish, if i already knew it i'd be here for 3. And its annoying because my took companions both speak portuguese and the switch for them, is like nothing. Both of them could probably be in advanced, they were actually both given the opportunity but didn't take it. Doesn't make sense to me, i would have gone for sure! So its hard to keep up but i'm working on it! i'm excited to get it down though. So this week has been soo good. So yea im in a trio and both my companions are awesome. polar opposites but awesome. haha i heard mom thinks my companion is gay because he ballroom dances?e spirit! it was sooooo cool.? hahaha classic... no hes not, jut a very determined dork. haha but hes SO AWESOME. So dad i know some kids going to Columbia, they just started sending gringos their again. Im suuper jealous. But so we are teaching the second lesson again this week, im excited. Last weeks TRC went soooo well, the spirit was sooo strong! we taught the plan of salvation to this guy who speaks well and his gf who doesn't speak a word of english. haha it was a bit awkward because she didn't know what was going on but it but went really well. their was a point after he read a scripture where it was quiet for like a minute but like in a good way! we just sat there, feeling the spirit! it was sooo cool. even though their just actors, it was sooo cool. We've been working sooo hard this week. it took me awhile to kinda figure out like ya know, how to use your time wisely. Not just using your time well though, but using it in the best way possible and its been a big help. We've been just focused and working and its been so awesome. i love it here. I was always working really hard before but it takes a little to get into the rythmn of things and stuff. But its so great. So we watched this movie called the gift of teaching, by elder holland. Elder holland is unreal ! he is soooo sick! you should all watch it because its soooo good. but he is like the mos inspirational speaker ever and is sooo emotional! ahh i love him. But tonight is a fireside so a general authority is coming, really hope its an apostle. anyway im out of time but i love all of you! keep writing!
love, elder foulger
