Elder Mitchell Holdstock

This week was like all the rest we went to our classes and heard a lot of spanish. But it's also been great. We talked with a few latinos who volunteered to come to the MTC and help the missionaries practice teaching and their spanish. Other than that we just went to all our classes and learned a lot of spanish. So nothing special happened.  I hope you guys have a great week and a happy thanksgiving. Elder Holdstock

Another week down and only just over one more to go then im on my way to Argentina. To be honest this week has been pretty boring nothing that crazy has happened just lots of spanish.  The only thing that happened this week that is interesting is that I'm not even in the mission field and i've already been "kicked out" of a house. The story is me and my companion who was and still is very sick were having a practice lesson with our teacher and he spent the whole time coughing and wiping his nose on everything. So our teacher kicked us out and told us he didn't have anymore time to listen to us. and now everyone in our district is sick and not very happy with him. So that was a fun time for sure.  Also this week we had more people from outside the walls come in and we got to talk with them for a bit and share our favorite scriptures with them. it was fun talking with them and getting to know them and i just makes me even more excited to finally get to Arg...

This week has been great but also long at the same time. This last week we got to go to the temple and it was super cool to be able to see the temple and go through it in spanish. I've honestly been surprised by how much of the spanish people speak I've been able to understand.  A few days ago we had some members from mexico city come to the CCM and we got to talk with them and share a quick lesson with them. So me and my companion got to talk to this little old lady who was super nice. So we talked with her about faith and why it is important to have faith and how through faith we will be blessed. Surprisingly I can do most of it in spanish which is cool.  Other than that, all I've done is sit in class and learn spanish and read preach my gospel and the Book of Mormon. It's been great though and only three more weeks and I get to Argentina I'm already super excited for that. -Elder Holdstock In route to the Temple

This week was honestly very boring but good. We spent all of our time this week practicing spanish and memorizing and learning more.  One interesting thing that happened this week was one night when we were all trying to fall asleep there was a knock at our house door at about 10:40PM. And it was two Elders from the house next door and they said they had a prompting to check their Carbon Monoxide detector but nothing was wrong with theirs and they felt they needed everyone to check their own. Luckily there was nothing wrong with ours. But in one of the houses at the other end of the street there detector wasn't working. So it kinda cool that they were able to listen to that prompting and possibly keep some Elders safe.  It has been a good week but also boring. sorry I can't send pictures because my camera is being lame. So you'll get extra pics next time. Hope you're all doing well. Sorry for the short email. Talk to you again so...
