Week 4

So this week is week four! Man it's gone by soo fast! It's been a good week! I've learned that my favorite days of the week are Tues, Wed and Sundays! because we have devotionals on those days! I love it! Yesterday we had the previlage of listening to Elder L. Tom Perry! He was soo good and so sweet! well let me start from last thurs! Things are going ok here, to all those getting ready to go on a mission, remember that probably the hardest thing will be companions! its hard to be with someone 24/7 no place to escape! but after a while you will get used to it! im still having a hard time because before i could find a place to go and no one would bother me, but now.... lets just say its harsh! We are still teaching "investigators" almost every day except sundays! today we get to do something called TRC which people from the "outside" world come in and volunteer to be our investigators, its a ton of fun and a relief from our regular investigators. Our teacher Brat (Brother) Porter left to Arizona on saturday. it was so sad i think we all cried he was the most hilarious human being on the planet of the earth, oh well that's not counting Elder Bradford hes like the class clown! (even has the red hair to go with it). I feel like im starting to get a hang of this language now, there are these things called cases that let you know more about the sentence since russian doesnt have filler words like so, it, to etc. so you change the end of the words to end with a different letter and it changes the meaning of the sentence. so i feel a little more confident with those! I LEARNED THE NUMBERS AND FIRST PART OF THE FIRST VISION IN RUSSIAN THIS WEEK! I cant believe we only have like 9 weeks left! its incredible. The older group is leaving so, we become the older group next week. Wierd! but idk i know ill get a general idea of this language soon! Today I was able to go to the Xram(temple) and it was just a great feeling of peace! I see Elder Hurtado (shelem) a lot! im actually going to go help with pronounciation right now! well hope everyone back in the real world is doing good! dont forget to WRITE ME! my PO BOX # is 122!

Love,
