EVERYBODY. LISTEN UP. I GOT A STICKER. I REPEAT. I GOT A STICKER. when bold a missionary gets a sticker, that means they will be leaving within the next week. you do not even know how crazy it feels to walk around the campus of the ccm with a sticker on MY badge that basically says,"THIS KID GETS TO LEAVE SOON. BASK IN HIS PRESENCE" it just makes me so excited. i leave for chile on monday at 7:55 at night, so ill get to chile around 6 in the morning! its going to be the longest flight I've ever been on, but dont fret because im going to self medicate. (oops, don't worry) this week in TRC (where you get to teach actual people), i had the opportunity to teach an actual investigator of the church!! she was a 12 year old girl and she was the sweetest. she was sooo hard to understand because she was sick, and talking really quiet, and sluring all of her words, and speaking really fast. it was a little hard to try and understand her, but it was still cool nonetheless!! she said my spanish was really good!! being with a companion through the day, you have a lot of opportunities to teach him things that will help better him as a missionary. for me, i literally hate NOT being punctual. to. the. extreme. my companion on the other hand, thinks that punctuality is a waste of time. so, ive been progressively teaching him that its not a waste of time and that punctuality is vvvvv christ-like. i didnt know about you guys, but bring able to fast on the mission is so awesome. i had never fasted for more than like 8 hours before, so this was a little bit of a game changer. i was able to feel the spirit soooo much. if any of you want spiritual strength and want to be more in tune with the holy ghost, than i HIGHLY RECOMMEND fasting. so one thing that made me literally cry from laughter was when the district and i were reading in moses. we came across the verse where it was talking about how eve was a "help meet" for adam. one person in the district was completely shook by this verse. not by confusion, but with an immense amount of confusion. "what!?!?! I THOUGHT EVE WAS A MEAT SACK, NOT A HELP MEET! I HAVE BEEN LIED TO THIS WHOLE TIME" ..........literally in tears over here! by the time you read my next email, ill be in chile!! hope all of you are doing well wherever you are in the world! here are some of the pics that have happened in the past week. Love you all to bits! EKW the beautiful mop in front of my house. we named her paula. she is beautiful The last time I got to see the Mexico City temple elder jex looking fly as heck hermas and elder miller
