Week#2 ~Amazing Gifts

Hello All,
My week consists of going to meetings and consulting with others
companions in my district about there hardships with their companion.  
It’s really strange to have new priesthood responsibility's through being district leader that I have never had before.  I am looked to you for guidance about dealing with your companion and how to increase their spiritual and literal intellect. Even though majority of the time I have no idea what to even advise or offer .(i.e. how to get my companion to have the same mind set on certain things.) But I enjoy having a elevated task to push me to be more then just a standard me. 

My companion is such a great elder, he knows exactly what to say when I don't in a lesson and vise verse. We are spending a lot of time learning from teaching foe-investigators the missionary lessons in Spanish. I am having a great time learning this new language. Its quite a task learning a new language this fast but so far I have had mild success.  Yesterday, I taught a amazing lesson all in Spanish with out any paper to instruct me on what to say. The ability to comprehend and speak is a
amazing gift that is given so quickly here.  

Elder Goodrich and I just received two more investigators
because of our Spanish level and are giving them the lessons which is
hard, but also its quite convenient to have them all at the same
lessons all around the same time.
We have a gymnasium here and it could possible my favorite time of day going there to lift and run.
I love the packages. I would like protein please, it’s hard to eat like I know that I need to when I have like a hundred cookies around me all the time.  I like the jerky that was really nice thanks. Also, thanks for sending me all those dearelder.com letters it really lifts my spirits each day to get to read stuff from home.  
I miss all you guys to a lot.  I have been doing really good about being home sick.. well compared to everyone here I have been. I am still excited to get out to Argentina. 
I cant wait until then.
 - Love Elder Vance
