Como estan familia y amigos? (Sorry for the bad punctuation. On
e-mail the keyboards aren't able to do a lot of the accents or
punctuations specific to the spanish language.)
Esta ultima
semana fue muy bien! Estoy aprendiendo mucho mas español cada dia en el
CCM (MTC). No puedo esperar por el dia cuando puedo salir el CCM para ir
a Mexico! Una semana mas!
This week has been an
awesome week for Spanish! So, last week I requested that my mom send me
in a guide on how to roll your tongue (needed for double r's in
spanish). After 3 days of trying and trying, and following every method,
and working out my tongue in ways I did not know I could do, I still
couldn't get the trill. Then finally, yesterday I was in class and I
kinda zoned out, and then I just let out a huge gust of air and I did it
on accident! Then I proceeded to keep practicing the rest of the
day for about 5 hours. I still couldn't resist doing it after we went to
bed. I wouldn't be surprised if I did it all night in my sleep. Now I
don't even have to think about it and I can make mini-gun sound effects
easily. I've pretty must mastered keeping a consistent trill for as long
as I have air in my lungs. Now I just need to work on putting the trill
into words, which is a lot harder than it seems, especially when
proceeded by an "a".
So I've got 2 minutes left
so I'm gonna make this fast. Hopefully my typing hasn't slowed down too
much since leaving computers behind in the outside world. Not too many
awesome stories this week. We had Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the
Quorum of the Twelve come and talk to us in the devotional last Tuesday.
It was pretty awesome. Our District has been pretty lucky, as we have
had a third of the Twelve come talk to us. I don't think that happens
very often, but I could be wrong. We brought in a new district this
week. There's 10 of them, 8 of them going to Chile. Our district has got
a hold of some pretty unique nametags. One of which is a White, teacher
nametag, whose name is Brother Free. So I have introduced myself to
them as Hermano Free, and that if they see my cousin Elder Riggs around
to tell him I said Hi, and that some say we look a lot alike, so they
should be able to recognize him. So far this is going as planned. Half
of the district has met Hermano Free, and half has only caught glimpses
of Elder Riggs. Elder Riggs will see them all tonight, and Hermano Free
will visit them (with a new tie on) and help them with their spanish
tomorrow.
Pues, Hasta Proxima Semana!
Well, Until Next Week!
Con Amor,
Elder Tyler Riggs
