Week 7?

Best shirt ever!

District



with Bro. Law (old teacher)

From Elder Sharkey's Jan. 15

This week has been very...fun! We received all of our new teachers and zone resource teachers. Pretty much our district has some people that are super behind in Spanish. And I can't blame them because before our teachers were sometimes here or not because of the holidays, and our 5 districts shared one zone resource teacher. Now we have 3 districts with 5 zrts. One of them came in (And this guy is AWESOME, brother jarman, he served in Madrid)and told us we were all desperately behind and bad, but that he was going to change that. And he is amazing. But don't worry I'm doing fine. Me, Elder Dougal, and Sister Harris are all ready to enter the field. Then we have about 4 people who are in the middle. And then we have 4 people who are still like week 3 level. It's so split that we have to split up our class into two groups. Right now Im working on relatives and vocab. Always need to learn more vocab. But yeah a lot of attention is being given to our district right now to help people catch up.

So yesterday during gym, I was playing basketball. A kid tried to cross over me and I didnt budge, so he thought driving right into me was a great idea. So his forehead went straight into my head, and I was out. What happened next was like 3 different trips to BYU urgent care and ENT doctor. I'm getting surgery on it tomorrow. It's broken in 3 different places so thats fun. It'll take about 2 weeks to recover enough for them to take the splints out. They said this wont affect my departure date of Feb 6.

News on Visas for Spain are still the same. They are working on them, but none have arrived here yet. They usually give out a reassignment 2 weeks before the date, but they are waiting on me until the very last second because they think my visa could still come. Whatever happens, it's always a gooood time. Come what may and love it! Elder Wirtlin was the bomb. Okay well were gonna go snag some lunch. Oh and I heard from Ben this week! His spanish is pretty amazing. His letter was almost completely in spanish. So funny ready leading his letter. Apparently knocking on doors in the rain gives you wife points. We'll see Ben haha. Thanks for the continued letters and support! Talk to you all soon.
