Hola!
Como estais vosotros? Yo estoy muy bien esta semana. Yo fue al templo mañana, y yo recibí su paquetta de Navidad recentamente -- gracias!
Este semana en el CCM Elder Gallecci y yo enseñamos en espagñol un poco, y trabajámos sobre nuestro espagñol! Mas practica es nececito, pero yo trabajo sobre mi accente de Argentina -- ellos hablan con un "sh" por el "y" y "ll".
Anyhow, enough Spanish, for I have only half an hour to write here! I'll be sending responses to the Christmas letter in the mail, though I note that Levi's spanish is pretty good! How is his class going? Alex's spanish is coming along too. Also, I would send pictures, but such is not to be from the MTC, as far as I know.
I enjoyed fast Sunday this week. I was praying for specific revelation about how to better follow and recognize the promptings of the Spirit, and I did receive, and had my impressions comfirmed in our mission conference, where many of the points were then touched upon. I am grateful for revelation and I know that Heavenly Father loves me, andthose that I am teaching, and will teach!
Also, the picture I drew on the letter I sent to you is indeed of the Provo temple, as seen from the of our district's class room. We had our Dominican Elder leave this morning for the MTC there, so we're looking forwards to decorating the room in patriotic Argentine colours and symbols! We now have eight people in our district, four elders, four hermanas. Also, the poem I cited in my last letter actually came from the hymn, "The wintry day descending to its close" (#32?).
The coat has not yet arrived, but it's probably not much colder than 5 degrees right now, with no snow. However, I should like a pitch pipe if you're feeling inclined to send things to me (I'm sure that Brother Cryderman or Brother Mitchell could tell you where to buy such a thing), as we do a lot of acapella singing here! I'm also missing my General Conference Ensigns, so if you'll be sending another package I should appreciate them -- thank you!
Thank you for your letters, and prayers. Yo os amo!
