letter numero 6.

wussuup???
howzit?? sounds like everyone is killin it.. dads in peru? people are in utah?? haha I'm so confused but o well. I hope y'all got my letters. BUnkers, i wrote you one but somehow got mixed with other papers and never got sent. Sorry! i just sent it though. Morriss'! its a girll !! hahahaha thats so awesome. i just wrote y'all about it so should get that soon. But that's soo cool. girls gonna be a champ on the golf course. ha anywaysss, meagan tell me whats up. Everything is really good around here. We speak spanish all day, zero english which helps a lot. but still hard. This district of native spanish speakers left this morning and the rest are leaving tomorrow. Ahh I'm gonna miss them soo much. Ha their so awesome. funniest kids ever. ugh i love em. Yea so another 3 weeks. I'm so ready to go but at the same time i have so much to learn! Teaching is really hard. Like we have the default lessons down ya know? but like tailoring the lessons to the investigator and asking really good questions. haha its way harder than it sounds. But its so important to be able to make the lesson about the person. But were teaching 9 lessons this week so we have a lot of practice. And we have 3 progressive investigators which are sooo god and feels so real. Its funny, even when we see them like not in the class, they go into their character so their ALWAYS in character. haha but its really helpful. And my teachers are sooooo awesome. i lucked out. One of my teachers, hermana smith reminds me so much of katherine. haha shes just like you its weird. Not quite as dorky but shes getting there. haha Tomorrow we combine districts cuz so many people have left so that should be fun. ha this is sooo weird. It feels like yesterday that i was writing my last email. Weeks go so fast here its bizarre. Its been a good week though, I've learned a lot. I'm trying to spend most of my time learning how to be an effective teacher and speak spanish. haha i figure that's what i need to focus on. Ha that seems so simple but its so easy to get caught up in other gospel things which are all good things but not totally why im here. There is so much that goes into teaching its crazy. And to get good takes a lot of practice, at least for me it does. Sid gets here the 22nd right? i heard suttons is going to anaheim? sooo cool ! so close to me! and spanish speaking! soo awesome. stateside spanish is where its at. Ugh dad i keep meeting kids going to bogota and stuff and i gets so jealous. haha. no no. Its weird too because there's some kids here going to DC t0morrow. bizarre. haha so i feel like an mtc pro now.. haha not sure if thats a good thing or not. i just feel like Ive been here forever. There's a huge group that's coming to san fernando with me in a couple weeks. im sooo excited. It was cool i got to eat lunch with the mtc mission president today and he quizzed me on scriptures and stuff. haha it was so awesome. hopefully he doesnt call me to talk at the next fireside though because all the time he sits with missionaries at lunch or something and then when he gets up to talk every so often, calls on them to come and share their testimony or something in front of the entire mtc. haha its soo funny. the firesides and devotionals are soooo good ! every time, there so cool. And since we haven't had and apostle in awhile, tonight's gotta be the night. i can feel it. haha but either way its always a general authority. i think i take it for granted how lucky we are to listen to them so often. It really is so cool. And I've always taken for granted conference. Ha i like cannot wait for the next one. haha The other night they called an elder up to talk for a sec and tell his conversions story. haha kids from greenland and apparently the first missionary to ever come from their. haha i didn't even know people lived there. haha anyway my time is up. thanks for writing and keep em coming! gospel is so true! love you!
love, elder foulger
