Feb.9,2011

Hello Everyone,
   Well, it has been another fantastic week at the MTC. Its crazy how quickly the Sundays come and go.  Less than three weeks and I will be teaching in Argentina. AWWW It is going to be amazing. I just can't WAIT!  Nothing has really changed from last week, but I do have a funny story.....
   So Hermana Taylor and myself were teaching on Sunday (Hermana Powell was in a meeting). Just some information you need to know before I get to far into this story. In Spanish the word for "sin" is Pecado and the word for "fish" is Pescado. Anyway,... Hermana Taylor and I were teaching and we got to the part of the lesson where we talked about Christs Ministry on Earth and His Atonement.  I told the Investigator that Christ died for our FISH!!!! I instantly knew that I had made a mistake because of the looks on both the investigator and my companions faces.  Ha Ha we all laughed for like 5 minutes after that....  The rest of the lesson went great, but I will never forget that experience. Good thing I learned it now and not in the field. :)
   Well that is all that is new and exciting in my life.  The MTC is great!  I am learning so much.  My testimony has grown a  ton. Spanish is coming... Last Saturday we taught a native Speaker and I was completely lost.  I am going to get really good at saying. "Mas despacio Por Favor!"  Slow down please! Ha Ha I love being a Missionary. Talk to you next week.
