Week #3 ~English Fast

Hola,
Hows it going? I am doing very well! I have the exact same schedule
everyday and very routine but,  I love routines they are so nice and
easy to follow. My companion and I are teaching lots of lessons now
almost 2 or three lessons a day varying from the fist lesson all the
way to follow up to baptism. It’s hard to remember all of what each
lesson includes, but the Spanish is coming along pretty well. This
Sunday I got to conduct the music and it was quite the experience. It
turns out that I am pretty poor at it. Me amigo Elder Crawford was
sitting in the back of the room by where I was supposed to be seated
and was conducting from the back of the chapel and I mimic his every
move. I could trust his maestro skills because he is a music major and
loves the saxophone like Tyson. I Love getting everybody emails and
Dear Elders they make my day so much better even if its just a few
sentences it truly helps.  We had a English fast the other day where the
whole day none of us could speak any English. It actually wasn't that
hard it was pretty fun cause someone would slip up and everybody
would say "no hablo Inglés" it was super beneficial for me. One of
my favorite days here and also a sad one is when the elders from your
zone ship out. The reason its fun is that none of them bring there
toys or food with them and they all bring it to me and my companion.
We currently have about 6 balls and a few Nerf guns and lots of those
poppers its and really weird random toys. But it makes going back to el
cribo way funner.
-Love Elder Vance
