Okay, 8 minutes to describe my week.

Mom,

Haha, I remember how much I hated Ladyhawk and preferred Dragonheart.  Such an epic movie.  What was the Q&A session about?

Knowing the scriptures always yields benefits, even many we don't realize at first.  Glad you've gotten a lot out of it so far!  Thanks again for the notes and whatnot.

Okay, 8 minutes to describe my week.

Tuesday's Fireside was Elder Rasband of the Presidency of the 70, which was awesome.  Sunday's Fireside was by someone who is a pro at missionary work (but whose name I can't remember), and his talk answered a lot of personal questions I've had lately.  It's funny how when you really pray and search for answers, sometimes they just "happen" to find you.  There's never a wasted lesson, topic, or talk here at the MTC.

Aside from p-day, pretty much everything I speak outside of the dorm is Spanish now, which is really cool.  I hope to be able to express myself properly and intelligently, so I can really convey the value and importance of Christ's message to the people of Guadalajara.  I've got a lot more work to put in before that happens, though.

The food is starting to cycle through again now that I've been here long enough, so we'll see next week if I'm still okay with it or if I can't stand it anymore.  Either way, the food is better than what I made for myself at school.

One of my teachers, Brother De Leon, speaks Spanish, English, Mayan, French, and is learning Mandarin.  It's kinda awesome.  He's Guatamalan and recently married, and is a really good teacher.  I've taught an entire lesson in Spanish, which is 3 weeks ahead of our "scheduled" time, but that doesn't make me ahead of schedule so much as "less far behind".  I've got plenty more to learn.

I can't wait for Thanksgiving, although I don't even remember what it is.  I've been here 1/3 of my time before I head out to Mexico, and my feelings are both those of anxiety to go and a desire to learn as much as I can before I get there.

Well time is up for now, but I'm not going anywhere.  Not for a month or so at least.

Love you all,
Elder Lund
