Week #4 ~Three hours with Elder Bednar!

Hola!
I have survived another week here at the old CCM. I am learning so
much knowledge here I and I am loving every min of it! I am semi-comfortable here now, just in time to leave for Argentina. I am doing good,  I was a little home sick 2 days ago but I am working hard and its hard to be both homesick and working hard at the same time. I have lots of responsibility's and a vigorous Spanish schedule but I am making it work some how!

During our last devotional Elder Bednar came and had a devotional that lasted 3 hours it was so amazing! He had a Q&A session that was so GREAT!

I have been told a maybe that I will depart Utah on Aug 1 or 2 we won’t
know till 7 days before the departure. I hope it is on Aug 2 so I can see Jake before we both leave.

I have received everyone dear elders and I love getting them so much! 
They are so great!  They help me so much!   I love getting all the emails that everyone sends me. It really lets me know how much support I have back home so…. THANK YOU!

My companion and I have completed giving all the lessons in Spanish! We
are a great team! We set up our lessons like a volleyball play. We
call it the bump, set, spike. Where we will pass it off to each other
in a lesson then the commitment part is the spike when, we smash it
down in his court with no hesitation. 

I get asked about my district, I have 12 elders and 4 hermanas.  In our district we have a goal where its only Spanish until we retire to our casa at night. It’s tough but it’s a good goal to hit each day. My companion and I are asked to teach priesthood almost every week and its kind of funny we are the only repeat teachers in the whole zone. How fun!

I am grateful for this opportunity to serve my Father In Heaven.  I love you all and am thankful for the support you give with each letter! 


Love Elder Vance
