Oh my goodness. I can't tell you how much I LOVE and HATE the MTC. :) LOVE. because I am learning and growning and preparing to teach the awesome people of Argentina. Hate because of all the stress. I broke down in class on Wednesday... Not a light breakdown... Which I could have handled, but PURE HUGE, MASSIVE, tears... Not my finest moment, the Elders look terrified... they didn't know what to do - that was funny. We were doing door approaches in espanol and I knew it by heart, but I got nervous and forgot everything. The elders I worked with looked so sad for me. They tried to help me, but that didn't seem to make a difference. I just broke down. and then, my class spent the next HOUR giving scriptures and thoughts that would help "the class" (really me, because everybody kept looking at me and talking to me), so that helped/ did not help me. I just felt stupid.
I love my teachers. I do. So much. Hermano Gamez is my favorite. I learn the language a lot better from him (he's a native from Spain.) But Hermano Martinez is awesome too! (he's a native from Equidor). I'm just having a hard time getting the laungage. You guys were right... you look around and see that everyone is getting it but you. That is one of the reasons I broke down.
Kyle, read Preach My Gospel. Ready study, and enjoy. Not only do you have all the lessons you are going to teach in it, but it also has all this advice about learning languages, how to teach, how to plan our time... all this amazing stuff that I didn't know were in it.
I love you all so much! I have to go, I have a minute left.
love love love

Keep the Faith
