Dear Mom and Dad,
Wow, that’s crazy that Ryan fell off the roof, and it also really sucks. I’ll be sure to keep him in my prayers. And thanks for the prayers and also for the fast, I know that it really helped me this week. Whoo, some weird stuff happened this week, but I’ll get to that later. Yeah, it sounds like everything at home is going well. I’m glad to hear that. Sometimes, well, I always miss the cold, but its actually not too bad here, most of the time. It could be a lot worse, that’s for sure. I dunno. I think things have started to improve. Well, in some ways. I think I am getting a tiny tiny bit better at teaching and stuff. My Spanish still sucks, but I dunno. I’m not worried at all on the speaking. I just wanna be able to understand first, and then everything will be really good, I think. Until then, I’ll just keep keepin on.
Well, where to start. Right after last week, we got a call that we needed to go and talk to one of the sister missionaries, because my comp is district leader, and she’s in our district. Apparently, she was shaking and was having a huge panic attack. We went to her, and she was just shaking way bad. My comp tried to calm her down, and we gave her a blessing. After, my comp called the zone leaders, and I talked to her for like 15 minutes. It really, really helped me a lot. Like, it helped me more than her. I realize now that I am here for the right reasons, and that I believe why I’m here. I could really feel the spirit confirming the things that I was saying to her. It was really sweet. I know that I am doing what I’m supposed to, and helping these people out a lot, and giving them the greatest gift I ever could in the entire world. So that’s cool.
Second, whoo, the days are hard. I’ve been really mad at these two guys, cuz they kinda just do their own thing. I like that, honestly, because I get so nervous when I have to say something, but I don’t wanna be completely left out. Ha,ha, on Tuesday, I was so pissed, and then, I got bit by a dog. Yeah, literally. On my leg. It barely got me, but it still got me, nonetheless. I wasn’t too happy that day. But they have been getting better. The first half of the month flies by; the last half, though, does not. Like, its already almost the 10th. That’s crazy. But I haven’t even been here two months yet! What!? How not? It feels like two years already! Ha,ha, but I’m really just doing it. It’s hard not to think, but I’m trying.
The Christmas Devotional was really cool. We even got to watch it in English. I was really just hard hearted back at home. I really was actually excited to watch it. Yeah, I said excited. Who woulda thunk it? But I was, and it was awesome.
Ummm, I have some news. One pair of my shoes has ripped, ha,ha. I don’t know how, but it has. It is not to much of a problem yet, and they have some shoe fixers here. I just need some like glue for them to put on it, and they should last quite a while longer. I may just look into buying another pair, but I haven’t decided yet.
What else? Oh yeah, I have been playing the piano a lot here. Like, every chance I can. And I can actually play the hymns, kinda. That’s really cool. I think that I might start up again once I get home, if I can make myself do it. A favor: If there’s a way that you can send the piano music to "Come sail away" or "Faithfully" by Journey, that would be really cool, and I can just print it off here. Oh, ha,ha, and I also need you to email the lyrics of "Its tricky" from singstar. If you don’t know how, make Madison. But I just wanna know them to sing with Evenson.
We had a baptism this week, Gabriela. I’ll send a picture. She’s pretty cool. I’m just glad we still are having some, sometimes. I dunno. It’s more than some people have their entire mission! Crazy.
Well, that’s about it. Spanish is still really stupid, and I’m very, very tired of speaking it. I would just like to have a lesson or conversation with somebody in English. Not with someone I know, some random stranger. That would be so cool. Only 20 and some days left and I can! Well, keep me in your thoughts and all of your prayers, because I need it. I pray for everyone every night, and I hope you are receiving some blessings for my work, because we´re working, alright. I love all of you and miss you a lot.
Love,
Jace
Again, keep praying for me and everything. I am gonna be needin it. Love you.
With the music, just if you can figure out how to send the sheet music so I can print it off and play it. If not, its not too big of a deal. But whatever. I’m sorry, I´d talk more, but I only got like four minutes, and I still wanna send pics. Sorry. Love you.
