Dec. 31st, 2013

Hola =D 
 The mtc, is so so boring, but. im learning so much =D i guess god is just getting me ready for collage i cant spell. sorry >.< 
SO Christmas was cool we had to be at main campus all day, we had a talent show. this one girl did things with a violin that i didn't know it could do. which was cool and a freaking cool magic show... Asians. hahaha we don't like it up there cause on west campus everyone speaks spanish so we all say hi and stuff to each other. up there everyone just looks at you weird if you try to be friends. But elder Bednar came to talk to us =D we all texted him questions and he answered them. it was so amazing. one thing he said was.
 GET OUT THE WAY, we heard a talk by holland when he came a while ago that night, he said You don't go home from a mission. THIS IS YOUR REAL LIFE, he really yelled it. hahaa im scared of him. =P but yeah. Let god do the work, its not about me or me wanted to be home and back to real life, cause this is my real life =D bednars talk was what i needed to hear. Then we had a music jazz performance in our next devotional. i fell asleep hahaha it was after lunch and jazz. =P sorry. than that night we had a devotional and watched the Christmas one with the motab. =P 
 Thursday i woke up and i hurt, i got a blessing and got a shot and some drugs to numb the pain. still hurts but its getting better, i think it was all the devotionals that killed me =P but im good. just getting stronger. don't stress it, its in the lords hands. Friday i had to stay home all day. the shot and the pain and the drugs were too much so i had to stay home, i was mad. =P my companion stayed with me till 12 than the district started to switch off so that they each one wouldn't miss too much. it was cool for 2 hours i got to get to know each and every one of them. they are amazing young men, all 18 and i look up to how strong they are. =D actually. everyone here is 18 im thee only 19 year old in our zone, and much more =P oh well
 So our teaching a lady named Rebecca has not been going well. we cant get anything out of here. and i think we will be dropped which is sad, cause she is our teacher, hahahaha but we just haven't taken it anywhere =( but our lessons with Hugo are going fantastic. we taught him the entire restoration, (our first time getting that far) and he is reading the BOM and he is praying about Joseph Smith, Baptism commitments are coming up =D he is progressing great. still has a lot to learn though. 
 so im half way done at the mtc today. =D so that's cool seems like im supposed to be done with my mission soon... but haha that's the MTC for ya =P 
 I got a letter from Dave, in spanish. i guess the dear elder site changed all the words with the squiggles above them, you know what im talking about, it changed them all to ? so once i figured that out. i read the whole thing. i looked up 2 words =D thanks Dave for that letter, it made me realize how much im learning =D and thank you for your words of support. =D so glad Emily found a man like him =D 
 Well everyone happy new year! party hard, so hard, that you party enough for me too =P its pday... so ill still be having fun. prolly sleeping =P that's pday for ya =D 
 One thought about the new year. don't look back, its good to remember but not to remorse of the thoughts of last year. look to the future, plan goals focused on others that will affect you on the side. This coming year, i plan to focus on the lord, to get out of his way and let the work move forward. im learning so much out here and i owe it all to the lord =D and a little to you guys =D 
 Im not having too much fun out here, but i go to bed feeling accomplished. I'm doing what i need to be doing. i love this gospel i write it in my journal every night. cause i do. i cant wait to get in the field, (not just cause the CCM is so boring) but i want to help real people now. =D 
 Well i hope this suffices as my email for this week, cause i have to go do service soon. and i love you all. =D thanks for all you do =D i love you all. so much. i think about each one of you every freaking day! and i pray for each one of you every night. i love you all!
Love Elder Evans,
p.s Elder Hoover and I had our first fight, and it lasted 20 min of silence before we fixed it and have been doing amazing together. =D
