Ok I literally have 12 minutes to write. I'm sorry, but i spent a lot of time trying to remember my login information hahahaha.
Things here are amazing. I have gained 10 lbs from the food, and eating double portions. That's not an exaggeration. Jason Robbins was right, the chocolate milk here is amazing.
My Companion is elder Ficklin. He is 6"5', 280 lbs and way into football. But he is one of the most amazing elders here. I know that companionships are inspired. He is spiritually just like me and he inspires and encourages me daily. In fact the other day Elder Ficklin and I rounded up the class and taught ourselves how to bear our testimonies in spanish.
We have 14 hours a day here, 2 hours of eating, and an hour for gym. the rest is language study and personal and companionship study hahaha.
But honestly i love this language. And here is a little something so you know i'm not wasting my time.
Mi proposito como un misionero es invitar a las personas venir a cristo, a fin de que reciban el evangelio restaurado mediante el fe en jesucristo y su expiación, arrepentamiento, el bautismo, la recepción del don del espíritu santo, y perseverar hasta al fin.
(In English for the espanol challenged: My purpose as a missionary is to invite people to come to Christ, to receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end.)
Thats only a fraction of what I have learned. I want you all to know that I love this gospel and the savior, and I am so grateful for this calling.
Sincerely,
Elder Nichols
P.s. I NEED YOUR ADDRESSES! That means anyone in the ward, and the adderesses of our wards missionaries! Please "Dear Elder" me and give me your home addresses. Thanks :D
