POCO A POCO
Dear Everyone I love,
I was very pleased to
recieve sports updates from ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE that wrote me, so thank
you VERY much for feeding my hunger for sports info. To begin this
letter, I`d just like to start out by giving some shoutouts/responding
to some of the questions that I need to answer. First of all Mom, I was
very pleased that my last letter was good again. When I really focus
on it and actually have the time, I´ll for sure be able to do that for
almost every week from now on. I´ll make sure that they´re letters that
only a true Renaissance man would write (shoutout to Zander)! Mom and
group of moms (and anyone else who would really like to), if your going
to send me a package go ahead and send it right to that mailing address
that I showed in the first email that I was here. Just make sure you
use FedEx, because from what I´ve heard just about everything else is
super slow. Btw, I believe within the next week I´ll be able to send
the family something too. And finally, one special shout out to
MANTHA!! Sami, you got Primary program in 2 weeks right? I´m guessing
that your gonna have to talk. Well, just remember that I want you to
give it just like I would. Don´t worry too much about all the fancy
church words, just go up and be yourself and bare your true testimony of
the gospel, and I can promise you that everyone in that congregation
will learn from you! I want to hear how everything´s going for you,
ok? Love you and miss you!
Well, there are many reasons that I was sent to this mission I have
found out. I´m thoroughly convinced that one of them is so that I
appretiate all the things that I had at my house back in the US. My
companion and I spent 3 whole days without water (including p day) and 2
other days without electricity. Man! That was exciting! I think the
Lord just has his own little ways of making us thankful for stuff like
that.
I CANNOT BELIEVE that I have been here for over a month! It´s true
what they say about how the time flies when your focusing only on the
work. I´ve already witnessed miracles big and small throughout my
entire time here, and I´m making sure to write them down daily as they
occur. One of the miracles is that when we are talking about spiritual
stuff in Spanish, there is usually very little that I don´t understand.
Also, I´ve been doing somewhat better with the other vocab too. I
learned from a good missionary named Elder Valasquez how to be more
friendly and casual with the spanish language with the people that we
meet. I´ve been able to actually joke around a tiny bit, so I love
that. If you know me, you should know I´m not too serious of a person
unless I need to be. Of course, the gospel is not a joke, but when you
can be FRIENDS with the people too and not only talk about gospel stuff,
I like it a lot better. And bit by bit (poco a poco) I´m learning
that.
Sorry, Mom, don´t kill me, but I don´t have more time left. I love
you all! I will make the next letter SUPER extravagent, telling you
about some of the miracles and the second baptism that I had. Love you
all!!
Love
Elder Hutchinson
Also, Mom, tell Jeffrey that I personally thank him SO MUCH for his email. Love you!
