Spiritual Thoughts and Trivia from Elder Eric Goodell

"Showers here are pretty challenging. There is a split second after you hear a toilet flush that you have to jump away from the water because it is so intensely hot!!! So I screamed my first shower and everybody laughed!"

"Today I spilled syrup on my pants cause my waffles were too crappy and it flew off my fork onto my pants! I am pretty bummed out that the waffles here are terrible..."

PLEASE! EVERYONE, WRITE TO ME ON dearelder.com!!!!! I want to hear from you! My mailbox is #342

Everyone! What are your daily goals? Please write them down. Goals are:  specific,time oriented, and attainable

The agua here is no bueno! es mal!!

Today me and mi companero had a rough patch with espanol. I got mad and I had doubts and I was negative. It brought me to a low point. Same with mi companero. It is really hot here and we have no A/C. It is hard to study. Me and my companero went outside and prayed. I felt comforted and was able to be positive and get back into class and study.

RANDOM THOUGHT: You can totally have ice cream at every meal here! There are big stashes everywhere in the lunch room!!  Sweet.....

There is so much to learn! The first week we learned how to pray and bear our testimonies in espanol. I am still learning.. The Apostle Bednar taught the answer to the question: "How do you know if what you say is the spirit or yourself?" I have always wondered, and guess what?!!  "...forget about it, stop worrying and Press Forward with FAITH and you shall be guided ...sometimes without even knowing it!!!

This work is happiness....EN EL NOMBRE DE JESUCRISTO AMEN
