Pues, Pues, Pues, Que tenemos aqui? It has now been a week (and a day) since I've been out. I'll admit that life got easier after the first couple days. Our district is way awesome! We all got to know each other really fast. I think my teacher got a little annoyed from our teasing and joking with each other. Chistes. My companion Elder Knight is great because he always reminds me to be obedient to the little rules that I sometimes like to see how far i can go without actually breaking any rules. For example going to be exactly on time and doing everything exactly as it says on the schedules. Everyone says how great missions are because they change your life and make you a better person. So I came here thinking how better I will be and how great a second language will be. For me however, I get a loss of motivation when I focus on myself. My motivation to work hard only comes back when I focus my thoughts and energy on my future investigators and by loving them. Then I work hard and efficient to make sure I'm everything I can be for them. One great program/learning thing at the MTC is the progressive investigator. We have investigators (teachers?) come in and we have to learn the lessons in spanish and teach their needs. Yesterday, I commited him to baptism and he said yes! What's also cool is that he will become our future teacher and we'll learn all the things we said right and everything we messed up on in Spanish, etc. I came into my class thinking that people would help me with the language. However, my whole district looks to me for what to say. It's weird because we learn the same thing, but for some reason it sticks in my head. I've never had this good of memory in school! It's sometimes annoying when i'm trying to concentrate and then I hear "Elder Walker, como se dice blah blah blah." Nevertheless, I think that I've been given a strength to contribute and help my district out. Well, my time is running out fast. Mom, please send more t-shirts/p-day shirts. I love you all, adios. -Elder Walker
