First Week!

It's been a good first week at the MTC! My companion is Elder Johnson and we are rooming with Elder Clark and Elder Douglas.  All four of us are headed to McAllen Texas on August 6th!!  Elder Johnson is from Lindon, Elder Douglas is from Riverton and completed a year of college at Utah Valley University.  Elder Clark is from Delta.  There are also two sisters in our district that that are also headed to McAllen Texas.  The second day we were here we had a meeting with our branch president and they called me to be the district leader.  I still have no idea what I'm doing but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.  We are learning Spanish very quickly here. It's amazing how much we have learned in only one week.  I already know how to pray, bear my testimony, share a scripture, and how to invite others to do challenges.  I have learned more Spanish in one week then I learned in two years of schooling.  In Spanish a joke is called a chiste.  Every day we have been here we have had a chiste of the day.  The best one from this week was;  why did the Lamanities always have sore legs?   -because of the Knee-fights.
