First week gone already!

My P-days are on Tuesday so i will be able e-mail on tuesdays only. Also I only have 30 minutes, and yes there is a red timer ticking in the top right corner right now so if this gets cut short I am sorry, However This week has gone by super fast! they say that the first week is the longest, if thats true then i'll be home in no time at all haha. My district is all destined for different places in mexico, except my companion who is going to bolivia. Our district leader Elder Burdett, he is also going to Mon. East. and our whole district is super tight knit already, we do litterally everything together. The Language isn't going to be as hard as i thought, we started yesterday with only spanish, and both of our teachers are native speakers, one from edcuador, the other from guatelama. So when i get to mexico it really will be the language i learned when i get off the plane. I can understand about 90% of what is said. Friday we had a very spiritual expirience. It was our first time meeting the teacher from guatemala His name is hermano De Leon, we given the assignment to ask him questions, with out being to prying, and find someway we could help him and find something to teach him about based off of the answers to those questions, we had 10 minutes. Near the end of those 10 minutes, someone asked a question that opened him up and he told us that he didn't feel like he had the spirit with him as often as he used to. he also said he thinks he is ready to be a father but doesn't know if the time is right or if he will be a good father to his children. I had a very good feeling come over me and I had President Irings talk, "hand of the Lord expiriences" pop into my head. right after he finished telling us those things I asked If he kept a journal, Every one was shocked cause it was very off topic. After the silent moment in which he stared at me he said that he had one but hadn't written in it in months. after that we were given 10 minutes to coordinate our thoughts and prepare a 10 minute lesson for him. We taught him for 25 minutes, in which time we challenged him to keep a normal journal, and to start a second Journal for his spiritual thoughts and expiriences, maybe that would help him see that he does have the spirit in his life and maybe one day be a strength to his children, we also discovered he was only having prayer and scripture study with his wife; so we challenged him to do that personally to, and i taught him the principle of a prayer rock. we also challenge him to take a minute and listen to the spirit when he finished with his personal prayers, we answered his questions and Closed with me, my companion (Elder Aleman) and Elder Da Silva, (elder Burdett's companion He is native brazilian but moved here when he was young.) bearing our testimonies. It was such a powerful expirience, and we were all amazed because we had been there 2 and 1/2 days and we were teaching and answering question about the gospel to our teacher, i know that we are Ministers of God and that we have special abilities as such that help us know how to help people through the spirit. :) Anyway The other two elders are Elder Anderson, or orem on his way to guadalajara, and Elder Atkinson, A very hilarious apostate elder from Logan, he is haveing a hard time but we are all helping him (he's never worked a day in his life) and he is headed to tiajuana. We're a small district but we all are getting along very well so far, so its very nice. My Companion is half mexican and half el salvadorian who was was born in california and speaks about as much spanish as me so its nice and he is kinda like Braiden Salter, only not as quiet.

Anyway, thats all i wanted to share this week and my time is almost up so I gotta go. Until Next week... Adios.
