Wednesday, June 16, 2010 - Week 5

Hey guys,
Well my mono got over with so quickly and i am extremely happy about that. My throat feels fine and i feel completely back to normal, it is a blessing and i am so grateful for how fast i recovered. THis week i had a pretty cool experience in the TRC, we were teaching a lady in there the second discussion (plan of Salvation) and Elder Giles started out. After his first sentence she looked at me like she had no idea what he was saying, so i told her what he said in Spanish. The same thing happened with his second sentence, so we stopped for a second and decided to try and just teach her the whole lesson in spanish, being that she knew barely any english. Were not supposed to teach the 2nd discussion in spanish until our last week here but we did it anyways and it went extremely well. We were able to get thru the whole thing without too much trouble and she understood it and asked a lot of questions which we did our best to answer in spanish. I have no idea why she was our investigator because my class was supposed to teach in english and she wouldnt have understood like anything. Other than that this week has been great and i am having tons of fun and working hard. OUr zone leaders left for Nicaragua on monday and so our new ones are Elder Toa and Elder Kleinman who are in the older district . They are awesome i really like them a lot. Chase wardrop got here on wednesday and is just on the floor below me so after we get back to our rooms at night i can go see him almost everynight. There are so many of my friends here from BYU it is awesome to see them all, plus i have made a lot of new friends in my district as well as in my gym time. That picture of mark ashley abby and nash is so cute haha thank you mom for sending that. Last night we got to hear from Donald hallstrom from the 70 and he gave a great talk. I went to the doctor again and he said that my throat is better and also said that my blood test showed i am partially anemic and i asked if that meant i could read minds. He said its something that would make me tired all the time and so that would explain all the sleeping in the last year or so. He told me to start taking a multivitamin and so i have been and feel a little bit better. He said if that doesnt help he's gonna perscribe me with perscription strength Jack3d to take 3 times a day. I already have a few of the Elders in my zone hooked on the cotton balls and alcohol haha i didnt even suggest it to them they just saw me and asked then went and bought it. I have gotten pretty skinny from the mono plus the food here isnt the best. Thank you all so much for your letters they are awesome keep them coming!
Mark and Ashley- heard about and saw the pic of the game thats awesome. Mark thank you again for the poo update on abby i could read those all day haha. i love hearing how abby and nash and you guys are doing keep me updated por favor!
Mom- Thank you for the letters and articles you send they are great. I cant really think of anything i need at the moment, the book store here pretty much has everything i could ever need. Im glad to hear you and ashley are still going to Fast and getting swoll too.
Chelsea and Brandon- i tried to go by 8m and see brandon when does he work? ive been eating those protein bars they are soo good even tho i didnt think they would be haha.
Sean and leslee- Leslee your the best at sending packages they are amazing! im glad to hear summy and knox are doing well and that knox is already getting huge for his football career. Sean the temple is closed after this week for the rest of the summer so if you got a chance to come today that would be great, if not its totally fine. We leave here at about 325 and you could wait in the parkin lot or somethin. I know you have work tho so its not a big deal if you cant make it.
Beau-Thanks for the letter! i was dying all week and wasnt sure if i was gonna get one. I love hearing about all the football and working out drama it makes me feel like im not missing out. Thats great you scored a TD and got playing time at ASU, and i know once you guys start hitting you will earn your way onto defense. Right now they just have to give the benefit of the doubt to the seniors. How in the world is alex bernal starting, that wont last a single day after the pads come on. ITs a great sign that your getting playing time this early tho because you havent even had a chance to show the best aspect of your game. and 205 is ridiculous haha i only got like 155 before my sophomore year. your probably already bigger than me i feel so small haha but i dont really care im just gonna worry about that stuff once i get home. Keep emailing me whenever you get a chance to.
I know this church is true and that Jesus is our Savior! I love you guys so much and cant wait to see you all again some day!
Love,
Elder Sitton
