MTC - WEEK 2

CIAO EVERYONE!

Well another week and im still going. The letters are awesome and so encouraging. I am loving Italian and cannot wait to be In bella Italia. This week as been fairly uneventful so excuse me if this letters seems short =P Class is just so routine and the scedule so strict that other than maybe devotional speakers and stuff its all pretty much the same as last week. The only major thing that happend this week was that me and anziano anderson (my awesome companion) have been called as zone leaders =O yeah its kinda nuts because weve only been here 2 weeks. We are responsible for 5 districts, a total of some 55 missionaries. Its a little crazy all this responsibility piled on so quickly but were up for the challenge and have some of the best trainers we could ask for. Other than that not much happend. Elder Costa of the 70 talked to us on tuesday at Devotional and gave an awesome talk. The mission gets progressively better the longer im here. As i learn and start to understand the language I seem to enjoy it more and more. I look forward to all teaching oppertunities; even though they are all roleplays they are tons of fun and Anziano Anderson and I totally dominate at them.

Thanks a ton for the package! i have more cookies now than i know what do! and the T-shirts rock too. Im gonna need another package though this week =P I need my Italian 501 book that the Fenn's got me for christmas (some of the older guys have it and its helps a ton) and i also need like one more pair of socks haha. I didn't expect to have so much gym time. I'm keeping an eye out for CJ tomorrow. He will probably have a different lunch than me but me and Elder Micheal Scott will can't wait to break him in.

Well thats pretty much it.... Im getting better at italian everyday and am understanding the gospel better too. The days are long, difficult and i feel like i have so much to do but not enough time to do it; however, the spirit is strong here and i pray for strength everyday and some how im making deadlines and doing things i never thought possible. The gift of tongues rocks haha.

Ci vidiamo!!! And Love your guts =)
