Hola!!! Como Estan???
I am doing well over here!! The
weather has been all over the place! Warm one day then cold the next then
snowing!! But all is well :)
Things here have been really good.
I have been learning a lot more Spanish. The good news on the VISA
is that they send them out and let us know in the beginning and at the end of
the month. So around this week or next week, I should hear from the
travel office! If it doesn't come in, then oh well!! It's what the
Lord wants for me. The district is getting really excited yet really sad
for us leaving soon. We have all grown to really love each other :)
It's awesome what the MTC can do! Just to let you all know, I should be
leaving the MTC in about 16 days! Crazy huh!!
As I look at the past month and a
half, I can see a lot of growth in myself. One of the biggest things is I
have already developed a love for the people of Spain. We had a
lesson/fireside about this type of thing. It really helped me out.
I haven't been to Spain, but I already love the people. I can't wait to
go there and teach them the Gospel. Elder Bagley and I have set a
goal. At the airport we will hand out 2 Books of Mormon.... each
:) I bought a Spanish and an English one for it :) I really want to
hit the ground running. I don't care what people think of me. I am
here to preach and teach the Gospel! That actually leads right into a
moment I had with my teacher, Hermano Hardy. It was very spiritual
for me because it was a question I had on my mind for awhile.
We were talking about about not being afraid to speak up and not being afraid
to preach the gospel and say hi. Well, I have no problem with that, but
there was still a little part of me that was thinking what will they think
of me. During our lesson he started talking about speaking up and not
being afraid and it really helped me out because I am afraid. But I can't
be afraid to preach and teach the gospel because I know it is true. It
was a really good moment for me. I made a goal to tell each and every person
I meet about the gospel even if it's only a hi and we are missionaries type of
thing.
Well my week has been good.
Nothing really happening. We just finished our grammer this week.
We have 3 books that we learn from and we just finished them! Now it is time to
review and really get to know everything.
I just wanted to say thank you all
for the letters. I have been a little home-sick. One day I got all
this mail from Jana, Mom and Dad, Mitch, and Mandy. I started to tear up
a bit. It has been hard, I'm not gonna lie, but I am pushing on! Thank
you all for supporting me and I miss you all as well! I love you all so
much and I will get out some more letters to you all. I will be sending
out pictures soon. I will be taking some more this week and then sending them out
around next week to mom and dad! I love you!!!
Oh gosh I can't believe i forgot to
put this in. I had the best experience in our lesson with Marcela.
Toward the end of our lesson, I have a prompting to bear my testimony,
so I did. The awesome part was words just came to me, words I
didn't know I knew. Well, I said them and they all made sense to
her. When I talked with Elder Bagley, he said he didn't know what I was
saying, but it made sense to her. hahahah :) Awesome huh!?
The Lord really does bless his missionaries :)
Love your son and brother,
Elder Alex Laubaugh!
