ULTIMATE FRISBEE MJ

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 district and my teachers. It is so funny to talk about the differences in America and Mexico. They think Carl's Jr. has the best burger, so I told them they need to try something in the states. I really miss good food. But I am getting into the groove here.

I went to the temple today too. We did endowments and it was way better than I thought (maybe because I had to read everything). But I understood it a lot better than the first time. I love the temple and I know it is how we can get back to Him. I feel His love for us in the temple and it makes me so happy. He really does bless us as much as He can.

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT
MOSIAH 4:19-21
"19 For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have, for both food and raiment, and for gold, and for silver, and for all the riches which we have of every kind?
20 And behold, even at this time, ye have been calling on His name, and begging for a remission of your sins. And has He suffered that ye have begged in vain? Nay; He has poured out His Spirit upon you, and has caused that your hearts should be filled with joy, and has caused that your mouths should be stopped that ye could not find utterance, so exceedingly great was your joy.
21 And now, if God, who has created you, on whom you are dependent for your lives and for all that ye have and are, doth grant unto you whatsoever ye ask that is right, in faith, believing that ye shall receive, O then, how ye ought to impart of the substance that ye have one to another."

Okay, I know that was long, but it is so good. We ALL depend on God no matter what. Everything we have is all because of God and is God's. How merciful is He that has planned a perfect way back to Him. I cannot even comprehend how much He loves us. Please go to Him for anything, ANYTHING! He wants to hear from you! THANK YOU FOR READING!!!

I finally got some pics, so I will be able to share some things about the people. 1. This is my boy Julio (he's jacked), we're dawgs even though I can't talk to him or understand him. Usually, I just try to ask him if he has worked out today. He's so funny though. Also, he has the best "Yes" I have heard here in Villa. Also, his dad is a former "Drug Lord"??? But we went into his dad's house to try to get them married so they could get baptized, but it smelled like weed, so we just had a quick lesson. 2. Forgot his name, but he's pretty cool. 3. This is Gabriella?? I think, really weird name if you ask me. But he was a former futbol pro and played in Cordoba. Then he went here to play semi-pro, but he had a stroke from smoking his whole life (I really can't understand one thing he says). But he is baptized, so don't worry. 4. This is Jorge and his son, they are on date to be baptized. I can't understand what he says at all, but he...

Feliz Natividad!

CHRISTMAS!!!!! Hola!!! ¿Todo bien? This Christmas was definitely different, to say the least. Here they celebrate it really on the 24th. They stay up till midnight and then light fireworks when it turns the 25th, kinda like New Year's. We went to a recent convert's house named Jorge (he is the only one that wanted us). His house was fun; we talked (my comp) and then ate an asado. There were cockroaches everywhere in this house. During the night, one was crawling under my chair, and I freaked out. Then the cat and the dog came fighting for it. (The cat won.) When I was there, it was interesting to see how happy everyone was. There was no tree, no presents— all they had was dinner for Christmas. Yet they were happier than when Easton and Canon got their Xbox 360, happier than me when I got my hoverboard. All we really need in our life is Christ. If we focus on Him, we can be happier. When we follow Him, even though it's hard, we can be happier. Merry Christmas!!!

ONE MONTH DOWN

JOIN MY GOOGLE PHOTOS https://photos.app.goo.gl/DdsvpZz8Td1Aehdw9 This week was pretty boring, not going to lie. It was just the same thing every day. 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.
