Hey mom!

 

All is going well.  I absolutely loved General Conference - yes, we saw all of it.  I even got to see one of the sessions in English.  Did you know that Elder Richard G. Scott speaks spanish?  He recorded his own talk in Spanish, so we heard it in his voice.  A few other people did that, too. He certainly has an American accent when he talks Spanish - I can hear it.

 

By the way, I´m jealous of the organ workshop.

 

My companion is awesome.  I don´t know why I´m called a trainer, he´s a great missionary already.  Except he gave up trying to learn English for a while.  Seeing as it says in Preach My Gospel that you should learn English on your mission if you don´t already speak it, and also it´s a rule in our mission, I threatened him (in a way).  I had already tried making a plan to help him learn in a nice way - that plan failed, and for a time, he refused to try to talk in English.  So on Friday, I told him that if he doesn´t make a plan that I agree with by Tuesday (tomorrow), I´m going to completely ignore him when he speaks Spanish, and I´ll only speak Spanish with the members and investigators.  He´s making a plan. 

 

I don´t think the music program thing is going to make it.  We haven´t practiced once as a group yet.  We´ll see.

 

The church is true!  Keep pressing forward in the work of the Lord!  And invite someone (a nonmember) to church, everyone that reads this.
