Dear Family,
Sorry I was not able to answer everything through
e-mail. The time went really fast. I
also forgot to bring the letters you sent me to I wasn’t able to respond to any
of it, so I am writing this.
We sing all our songs in Spanish, and they gave us a Spanish
set of scriptures so it’s good that we did not get them in SLC.
I don’t remember if I told you about my district yet… they
are Amazing! Everyone is really cool and just funny. We work together well and
have lots of fun. My companion is great
too. He is the nicest guy I have ever met. He never complains about anything
and he works hard.
So dad was asking about memorization and thinks like
that. We do not memorize discussions,
but we have Preach My Gospel that we study from all the time! It has 5 lessons
not discussions and we are just expected to be able to teach the lessons. We do
still have a lot to memorize though. Right now we are memorizing D&C 4, the
sacrament prayers, baptismal prayers and baptismal challenge, all in Spanish
and English. We already memorized our purpose in English and Spanish.
In our classes our teachers have started speaking in English
when necessary. There are just some things none of us will understand in
Spanish. So that is a nice break occasionally. But they still mostly speak
Spanish.
For the bishopric, or whoever needs it, my favorite
scripture is Helaman 5:12.
Last thing, dear elder is great!!! Please tell anyone who
asks to use that, and it’s free for sending letters to the MTC. It was fun to
hear from you guys. Please continue to write and update me.
I love you all!
Elder Utley
