Words from Elder Eli Frazier in the CCM (MTC)

"Well hola everyone! Its crazy to think im already half way done with this place! I would compare my spanish to a 3 or 4 year old mexican child. hahah and as of right now i can conversate, pray, testify, and give lessons all in spanish, and also right now im just working on learning as many words i can memorize. it may be alittle slow but i can get around. and also memorizing important scriptures. i have the first vision, and about 6 other scriptures memorized that i use in my lessons. nothing much changes around here. the normal routine is classes and study time. but gym time from 130 to 3 is awesome! i am getting pretty good at soccer if i dont say so myself. thats the most played thing here. there was a devotional we had from a member of the seventy, and he talked about how he had a little who lived for only one day. he was not at her birth cuz he was at work outof the country, the next day at work he celebrating and giving his workers chocolates(that is just a common mexican culture thing i think) andthat is when he got the call that he his little girl had passed away. he talked to his wife about this and shared with a scripture i cannot recollect but it was about how families are eternal. so as he was at work he still kept handing out chocolates and one of his workers asked him how and why he could still celbrate. he told him he would explain if he had a couple hours to listen. he explained it to him and that man who he had taught was later baptized and has now gone through the temple and sealed to his family. this story really touched me and the how important temple work is. i thought id share this with you. i fi can find the scripture he shared with his wife i will tell you. we have those kind of devotionals and meetings all the time. of miraculous stories and teachings.

Well now im going to go play some soccer, get a haircut, finish my laundry, eat lunch, and then see whatever comes next. i love and miss all of you! i hope you are keeping god and his son in all the decisions you are making. for that is what is truly going to matter when it is all said and done. please also excuse my grammar as i dont have much time and this keyboard is not that great. Love you! Ill update again in a week!"
