Day 11

Well I had a great day today! It seems as if everyday, I learn something new and exciting about the mission experience! I love that I am here to serve others and that knowledge hungers me to learn more ! We woke up at 6:15 as usual, (I've decided mornings here make me the most homesick because I wish I was waking up in my house, next to Coop :( ) and got ready in our church attire. We had early class after breakfast so it wasn't too enjoyable. We ate French toast sticks and they were quite good! We had class after where we practiced (in English) the restoration of The Gospel (the first 8 lessons) and I got great reviews on my teaching (now only if Spanish could come like my knowledge of P.M.G) After we had lunch and I ate a turkey bagel sandwich. So scrumptious! We had class right after (such a pain to go back and forth) where we drilled a lot of Spanish verbs. One of my problems here is I compare myself to the missionaries who picked up language fast so it sucks for me :( but I'll get it sooner or later! Oh p.s I got really upset today because I finally got to talk to Elder Dallin Murphey and he said he thinks they are going to keep us here for the whole 6 weeks. I just looked at him and said oh... It made me angry. I'm the only kid who has faith they are leaving. He had a reason to say it though because a Hermana who came in the same day as us tested up to the advanced Spanish and she is leaving on Wednesday of this week. (the 31st) I have mixed feelings about leaving here now. I want to get down there because once I'm down there, I don't have worries! But either way, Spanish will be difficult. I want to leave by next Sunday (The 4th) because that's when Elder Sip leaves :( I am starting to love my district here but would leave in a second if given the opportunity! Did Elijah get to email every week in the MTC? How is he doing now? Any new stories? I shared the one about his blessing to my district and they got so jealous! I want to see my Dominicans! I miss you guys so much and hopefully I leave soon so I can hear your wonderful voices again! I've gotten less and less homesick the last couple of days but that doesn't mean you guys can forget about me! ;) I love and miss you all! Buenos Dias! Elder Garfield
