News from Elder Goodell, August 19, 2011

Well, I'm split between wanting to leave this place but then I'm not prepared for the campo blanco!

Elder King and Elder Goodell

My companion, Elder King and I get along so good,
so our goals are always on helping the other
companionships. There is a companionship that fights
so much.. They are a really good examples of
how NOT to act in most situations.

So I was playing some Vball and we all put our shoes on the grass by the sand courts, and the dang
lawn mower guy ran over one of my socks!!!! Everyone said he stopped and looked at it and just
kept going...I love patience!!!

So there are so many new people in my dorm it's weird. I was gettin used to the same people to
brush my teeth with!! So pretty much everyone needs to go on a mission, you all need to feel the
joy of being just here at the MTC being with your companion and just laughing all day, it's Crazy!

So I have an Evangelical Investigator who is really hostile and doesn't like Jose Smith. Kinda frustrating-
my other investigator doesn't get why he needs to be married by law before he can get married in the
temple. It's just hard to explain random things in espanol.

So, I Need More DearElders!!!! It's nice to read um before bed, it doesn't distract from my
intense studies throughout the day.

So, I am sensitive to words like Hate and all swear words for sure. My roommate Elder Sliffe likes to swear and it is really odd. He's got many different views, and he sings Evangelical songs every now and then, hahahaha oh, they're funny! My favorite Himno is "How Firm A Foundation" it's so tight. the part where it's all:  "fear not I am with thee, oh be not dismayed, for I am thy God and will still give thee aid."


En Chile they play Futbol like 16 hours a day. I met some Chileans and they said the really poor kids just play it all day on really small roads. I'm gonna get some Culture Shock pretty hard. En Chile
the poor people even talk different, they use "Vosotros" instead of "Usted".

Okay, so I went to the dentist just to see how my teeth are doing and this old pin headed guy was the
Dentist. I had my mouth open fcause he was checkin ma teeth and he was all talking away and breathin
in my mouth.....It was terrible!!!!!

Love to all,

dood, i'ma teachin....

Send more Dear Elders!
