Wow! What a crazy ride it has been so far! I feel like I have been here for weeks and its only been like ten days! I have to say although learning spanish this quickly is the hardest thing I've ever done, it is sooo worth it! I am having the time of my life. I have never felt so at peace while being so overwhelmed. I can bear my testimony and pray in spanish, and I also know a bunch of random words. I have taught many 'investigators' of the church and cannot wait to teach everyday and serve the people in Chile. My companions are awesome. All 3 of us are so awesome! My district is awesome! We all get along so well! Each one of us has such different personalities, but we are loving getting to know each other. One of them cracks me up! I almost peed in my pants yesterday from laughing so hard. Let's just say they do things like turn the breakers off in people's room (only for their outlets). Then they'll stick a vacuum under one their buddies beds and turn it on, but it doesn't actually turn on until they go and flip the breaker in the middle of the night. Yeah, imagine waking up to a vacuum turned on under your bed. Haha. They do funny things that definitely keep me entertained. But, the spirit of the MTC is what is literally changing my life. You wouldn't believe what you can learn and feel if you escape the constant distractions like texting, Facebook, internet and TV. I have learned so much and have put my trust int he Lord. I have faith that I will learn the language and be able to serve. I would have to say that if you want to do something that will change your life for the better, this is it. Enough said. I can only write Tuesdays, so I'll try again next week.
