Oh my goodness!!!!!! We have just spent the last like 15 min of our 30 min trying to figure out how to set up an email account. We finally got it set up so I have like 15 min to write everything.
There is so much that has happened this past week. It's incredible to think that I actually have been here for a whole week. So yes if you don't know, this is my P day. Wednesday are my P days.
So pretty much I am loving it up here. There is so much to say and write about. I don't even know where to begin. I love my Zone. They are so awesome and I have gotten to know them a lot better then I used to. Its so much fun. I'm thinking about sending home some pictures in a little bit so you might have some of those. We had our first district leave on Tuesday. It was really sad. They were the district that kinda brought us in and made us feel like home. They are all great Elders.
So, it seriously feels like i have been in the MTC for months. The days are long, and you learn so much. The first day at the MTC was the longest day of my life and it wasn't even full day. Everyone was telling us that it seemed long, but if we wait until after Sunday things will start flying by. Which is definitely the truth. Its already Wednesday this week and Monday and Tuesday have kind of just blended together. Its pretty awesome though.
Spanish is crazy. I seriously learned more then I learned in my 2 years of Spanish in the first 3 days at the MTC. We can already pray in Spanish, bear our testimony in Spanish. Yesterday we had our first contact in Spanish. Which is like coming up to a person and introducing yourself and sharing a message about the Gospel then setting up a time that we can come back. It was intense. I definitely don't know how I'm understanding Spanish this well. Well I guess I do, obviously being up here and learning more about the gospel and having the spirit with me is definitely helping me out a lot. My goal is to memorize 25 words a day. Es muy dificil. But I'm trying.
Sunday was like the best day this week. It was our fast sunday and the spirit was so strong. We got to know our branch presidency, who by the way are quite amazing. I love them they are so awesome. But we had a testimony meeting and we had a lot of different meetings. Overall the Sunday was quite amazing. But the day that sticks out to me was yesterday. I had quite a couple of experiences.
So yesterday we did 3 contacts in Spanish, which was incredible. We then went on to teach the first lesson in English. But they told us to try and get to know the investigator and help him with his needs. So if that means take the lesson in a different direction we do that. So we were talking to him a little then taught the first two principles and then Elder Struthers started asking him a little more about him. and I was confused, and wanted to keep the lesson going but I decided to let him go with it. Then we found out he had a couple of health conditions and things weren't going to well. So then I thought, we need to go somewhere else with this lesson. And I was gonna interrupt Elder Struthers and take it that way, but I had a feeling just to wait. So I did, and he ended up taking it the EXACT way that I wanted to take it. It was an incredible experience. It was just a testament to me that the spirit speaks the truth to everyone. It was awesome. Then I had the opportunity to be a part of a blessing that night to an hermana that was having a rough time and wasn't feeling good. It was a powerful experience.
Well my time is running low and I have written quite a bit. Just know things are going well and I'm doing well up here. :) I hope everything is going well for everyone back in the valley. I am thinking about you. Have everyone write letters!! They are like precious jewels. hahaha.
Well Love you all,
Elder Kingsley
