I know my purpose and why I'm here doing this

this is my last week at the mtc and all i can say is yea me...... i really think the mtc didn't want me to like it here, with all the swine flu, the gym floor thing, and now the mission presidents. but the mtc failed. i have to say i kind of did like it here. but anyways this week at the mtc my district got to be host missionaries for the new kids, that means that we show them to their rooms, and show them the campus a little. we greet them from their car doors cause they aren't allowed on the campus. but it was funny cause the first kid I had was crying the whole time. he didn't really talk too much. but then the second kid coming in with a mohawk, and wearing sunglasses. so i got like the weirdest kids ever.

But something really cool this week was at the rc we made calls in spanish. it was really cool, and everyone who made a call was like they're so much nicer. it was funny. I didn't really talk to anyone but this kid, and then one lady who told me to call her back. but it was cool.

Well i don't know if i mentioned it but the MTC is on locked down even more than normal cause the mission presidents are here. it's funny, everything is set up for them. but i still haven't met my mission president yet, but i think he might fly down with me if i go this monday. I have to say I'm feeling a little sick so they might not let me know, but i will find out sunday I'm trying to feel better but it's not working. But hopefully i can just go and no worries. either way i will call monday once around 11:30-2 and then maybe between 6-8 or something like that but yeah.............

so i guess i might as well say what i learned at the mtc. i think i learned a lot of stuff like the only difference between a toilet and a urinal is the seat, if lunch is good you eat as much as u can cause dinner will be terrible....lol.. but seriously, i learned a lot but I'm still the same it's weird how it works. Like I'm the same but i know the purpose and everything it really cool. I'm just happy, and can't explain why. and it's kind of funny cause this week went by really slowly. but it was fun.. i don't think I'm making any sense. but do i ever really?
I am really happy i could come and stay as long as i could, and i hope i don't stay any longer....

i want to say thank you to everybody who supported me trough the mtc, cause it will probably be the hardest part of my mission for me. i don't expect the rest to be easy, actually i know it will be more difficult, but like i know my purpose, and why I'm out here doing this now, and i mean like hardcore i know.

But so thanks to everyone for helping me get here. But don't stop the support cause like the support.. ya dig.... But thanks everyone i love you all miss you. cant wait to go to argentina, and hopefully forget english.

alright peace out y'all.

Elder Bednar, the greatest missionary speaker ever

hey everybody whats up hows life on the outside.

I have some big news as you know my companion was district leader, well guess what now he is a zone leader, and by saying that i'm a zone leader too. Which means i have to inforce the rules. it sucks but i kind of like the power to control everybody in the zone. but so far it has been alright.

Also some big news at the mtc is swine flu. IT is still just as bad, but now everybody is getting used to it, but 2 people from my zone got the swine flu, one just got it today, and he was put into isolation. but i'm still healthy i just hope i don't get sick the week before i go cause if that happens i will be delayed when i got to argentina. but so far no delay.

Also someone really cool came to the MTC this week. just to show u how cool it's the equivalent of if the beattles got back together with the original member (if john lennon wasn't dead), but David Bednar came. He is like the greatest missionary talker ever, him and jeffrey r holland. But when he came everyone started getting really excited, and people where giving each others high fives, which is funny cause it's against the rules, to give high fives, with the whole swine flu thing. BUt it was a great talk. It was about the holy ghost and he just told a bunch of jokes and stories, it was awesome. he told this one story about a missionary who always kept his BOM in his pocket over his heart and one night he got robbed and got shot right where his BOM was. but he was ok cause the bullet stoped in the Isiah chapters in second nefi. if you don't get it sorry, ask someone who does. but it's funny as missionaries everything amuses us, and it's funny.

BUt also sunday we watched the legacy, and that movie is really funny at the MTC because everybody starts cheering when they kiss, and when they are traveling they do some really funny stuff. at least for us.

Oh at the TRC we had to teach missionaries again, cause the swine flu thing nobody wants to come in, it sucked, we did really bad, cause this week is the week where they do a non christian faith thing. but the missionaries, me and elder nielson got where evil. they were people who hatted their families, and everytime we tried to teach them something they said we don't believe in that. They were evil. like if it was really i bet they would have kicked us out or we would have left, but it was hard. BUt the spanish was better than the first one. but they were just evil sister missionaries.

Also at the rc this week i talked to this same girl i talked to a little while ago. like a week ago it was cool, cause i just got to tell her some funny stories about joseph smith, cause she is a member but her parents don't let her go. so she sneaks on the internet to just learn stuff about the gospel, it was cool.

Um that is pretty much everything...............wait no somebody had a birthday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRISON, HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME AT DISNEY LAND.

alright thanks to everyone for the support and thanks for letters.

Alright peace out. sorry if the spelling is bad on this letter. oh and happy birthday to anybody else who had a birthday.


MOM im sending u a letter hope fully it gets to u soon. i love you

MTC and the swine flu

Well i guess the MTC doesn't want me to like it here. Cause as some of you may have heard there is a couple of cases of the swine flu here. and because of that the MTC is on lock down. it sucks mainly because i cant play basket ball anymore, again. first the gym floor and now this. I'm never going to be able to play basketball again. But anyways there have been like 5 cases of swine flu and 20 cases of some other flu, but the people with the flu are put into isolation/quarantined. which sounds funny, but oh well. but that's whats up with the swine flu. hopefully i don't turn into a pig.

Also i always forget stuff when i do this email, so i want to say my companion is the DL, which is cool cause its not me. Also we got a new district last week, and they are all going to mexico. so that's cool, they all really cool kids.

Now for the weekly TRC update, let me say it sucked this week cause we were teaching some missionaries from our zone, cause nobody volunteered with the whole swine flu thing. So i guess the swine flu must be pretty big news in the real world if it is still going on. BUt we taught it in spanish(the first lession) which was alright but my mind went blank so i did really bad and my comp, cant really make sense in spanish yet so it was hard. but we did alright for the first lession in spanish.

The At the RC, i finally talked to some one on the phone, and guess what they are getting baptized today, just joking. one guy cussed me out witch was funny. and another lady said she wasn't in the mood. But at least i talked to people. but it was fun.

Yeah um i kind of had everything that i wanted to say on this email planed out but i really forgot, and i didn't bring that paper with me, so ummm yeah. I guess somethings never change right.

Oh right um yo podria escribir esta carta en espanol, pero la verdad es que, no tengo la tiempo para hacerla. y por que todavia no se como spell en espanol. pero gracias por su apoyo, y por toda las cosas ustedes les hacen por mi. ok back to english. yeah i really dont remember what to say. So thank you for all the support, and everything you have done for me.

Don't worry i wont turn in to a pig, but while I'm on this topic i remember a funny story. So alot of the people are paranoid of getting sick cause if you get sick. you get sent to isolation. And they were giving out those air maskes that cover your face. and So it was to the point were if you cough the missionaries will get out of your way. and so i couldn't resist. i got one of those masks and i put it on and pretended to cough, and like everyone one but my companion like started running, and i literally mean running it was funny. oh and also we are not allowed to shake hands, but what me and some of the other people in my district do is put a bunch of hand sanitizer on and hi five each other, that way we don't get swine flu.. but if i get swine flu, i wouldn't be surprised cause of all the jokes i make about it.

But any ways that's all i got. Thanks again por todo. you like the spanglish. Hasta luego.
Peace OUt



mom i want you to know I'm sending a letter that will answer all of your swine flu questions. and don't worry I'm safe and healthy.... love you
