I just started week five, so that is crazy to me. One of the days, while playing ultimate frisbee, I ran into Elder Dains so bad that we both went flying, so that was pretty funny. Spanish is still really hard, but all I can do is try my best and pray. Overall, a good week. Another temple run—that is good. I have two weeks left here, and then I’m off. I am really excited and ready for it. We keep trying to get our teacher to bring us food from the outside world that we see so little of. He said that he would bring churros on the last day. That would be a miracle. Nothing crazy this week. Sorry for the boring email; I will try better next week.

Wow, this week flew by. From Monday to Saturday was all a blur for me. Then all of a sudden, fast Sunday hit and it was like a whole week in one day. Also had to teach a lesson and was told it was going to be in English, then there were like eight Spanish-speaking missionaries. But me and my comp improvised, so it was good. Every day we play ultimate frisbee and I try my best to represent the 801. One day we did my soccer with some missionaries from Mexico and lost, but it was really fun. The food is not so good, but what can you do? The Tienda (store) is saving my life. Everything in there is so cheap and Spanish candy is pretty good. It is the same schedule every day and I have 3 weeks left here, which doesn't feel real. Spanish is super hard, but I am learning something new every day, so I think that is all that matters. I am super pumped to go to Argentina, but I know that I will not understand anything and it will be super hard, but that is why I am here. I really like my dist...

Hey buddy! Can you believe you’re in week 2? How has this week been? Has it been harder or easier? Today was Jackson’s farewell. I didn’t know about it, so I didn’t go. We had another homecoming/farewell in our ward today. It was the kid we saw in Sunday school your last Sunday here that was sitting with his dad. He’s doing a service mission. He was really cute. You can tell he’s special needs when he talks. He talked about the difference between a service mission and a proselyting mission. He described it as proselyting missionaries are the voice of the Lord and service missionaries are the hands of the Lord. I liked that. Today we did Nixon and Kai’s family birthday party. His birthday is this Thursday. We did it at Riverton Park. Easton and Canon both couldn’t come. Canon is in St. George at the Black Desert PGA golf tournament, and Easton is on his way back from riding dirt bikes in Orderville with his friends. It was sad not to have any of you there. Your presence is definitely mi...

First week down, started out with saying bye to my family, which really, really sucked. But then met my district and flew to Mexico after a two-hour delay. Also got Comfort Plus, which was AWESOME!!! But then I just watched General Conference, which felt like they were talking to me personally. I challenge everyone to watch or listen to General Conference because this one was bomb. My district is cool and we get along pretty well, but I am excited to leave for Argentina already, though I still have some time left. I went to the temple today, which was really cool, and it was nice to see how the temple works in a different country. The drive there was like an hour. It was so cool to finally see the outside world for a little bit. The people here are so poor but so happy (at least in the temple), so maybe it was just the temple. I tried my best to talk to the workers while waiting for my district, but it was more them speaking to me in their best English. SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: When I was wa...
