Elder Jones

This week has been awesome we heard some great talks by the Director of the mtc not the president hah His voice was exactly like elder Ucdorfs definitely didn't spell that right but if we closed our eyes he sounded exactly like him. We called him Latino Ucdorf haha it was really good. We have had a few days called promix we basically join a Latino district where they only speak Spanish but it was so fun and I loved all the Latinos. I don't have all the pictures with them but Ill send a few It was kind of sad they all left this Monday but that will be me next week.I leave Monday at 2 am I'm super exited It'll basically be a full week cause I'll get the the field at 8 am on Monday. This week we've just continued to work hard trying to pick up on the language it's been pretty good sometimes I'll write stuff on my email in Spanish and then I have to go back and change it to English so you'll understand its kind of funny. Last Friday the funniest thing h...

this email is gonna be really short but if I get back with enough time today I'll send another email. This week has gone by really fast but my companion still doesn't wanna work haha but its fine by me cause Wednesday we were talking with people outside of the mtc again and I talked for the whole time so my spanish just keeps improving I've also been trying to read the scriptures in spanish but its much harder than I thought. It was really sad Sister Taylor left this week I'll send pictures later when I have my camera and her whole district left. I got sick yesterday I guess it was my turn but i'm feeling a little better today. I'm also the new district president over my district and thats been pretty good our district is the best we all have learned so much spanish even though my comp isn't very good. I'll send more later and pics later today we went to the visa place and it was crazy how much spanish i could understand haha. This week has been good we...

This week has been good but it seems more and more like a prison every week haha. Someone got Influenza not sure if i spelt that right but these computers are in spanish so everything is wrong on here but anyway someone got influenza really bad and it has been spreading like crazy and everyone just prays they dont get it. Everyweek it´s something new I feel like luckly I haven´t got anything yet. (knock on wood) There's only so much you can do which I guess is kind of good cause it gives me more motivation to work cause I can't go do anything else haha. My comp has lost a lot of motivation to work so I'm mainly just working on my own and my spanish is getting way better. We got native companions for a day and I was able to understand about 90 percent what he said which was really good and my spanish got a lot better that day. My companion hasn't been working that hard cause his gf hasn't been emailing him so he's been depressed all week and his spanish is not go...

  It's been crazy here in the MTC Elder Guerisoli got here on tuesday and it was so nice to see him. Were really busy all the time so I don't see him a whole lot but he seems to be doing really good. I've been just studying spanish all the time we have about 14 hours of class all day and when we have free time we are studying.  So sunday night we had these burritos and they were so good and everyone was just eating a ton of them which came back to haunt us. I woke up that morning as usual at 6:30 and my companion had been on the toilet since 6 and he didn't end up getting out until 7:30 it was terrible. Luckily I showered that night because the other two elders in our room that didn't had to go shower while my companion was on the toilet making the craziest noises haha it was bad. Half of the district got sick too haha we think they used the leftover meat from the rest of the week. We went to the doctor to see if they could do anything for him and there was a line a...

I don´t even know where to start haha. I got off the plane last tuesday with about 30 other missionaries, and half of them were going to my mission. We took a bus to the mtc and I got to know everyone going to my district and I liked most of them but there was one kid who I didn't want to have as a companion because we had nothing in common. I like to play sports he liked to read books, I like to be outside, he likes to read books haha. But of course we got assigned to be companions and I had kind of a bad attitude about it for my first 2 days and those were the longest two days ive ever had. I prayed that I could come to love my companion and that day we listened to a talk by elder gong and he was talking about the importance of having a good relationship with your companion. He said to stop focusing on the things you didn't like about your companion and to focus on the things your companion was good at and since then its been great. Ive come to love the things my companion is...
