Here's my week:

Well on Monday it turned out that Elder Remington was good enough to move up to the advanced class so that left Elder Jacobson in a trio with the two other companions in our District. So it's fun, whenever someone has to go to the bathroom while we're in class, we all have to go and wait outside. Other than that things have been going good with my side of things and the Elders. Class is going good too I'm learning a lot of Spanish and remembering things from the classes I took forever ago. I've learned that I always have to be sincere in my prayers and the Lord will help me in learning how to preach the gospel in this foreign language.

Sad News First: In the mailbox yesterday there was a letter saying "Sorry to inform you but your visa has not come in yet. You will continue to stay at the Provo MTC until your visa is approved." So who knows when I'll be going out to Peru. But that's ok, because things will work out and I'll be learning things here and getting more comfortable here as well.

Funny Story: E. Jacobson and I we're teaching E. Bakeer in our class about the Atonement. This is what E. Jacobson said: Chirst suffered for all the sins in la tienda (the store) instead of saying la tierra (the earth). I look over at our teacher and he's laughing under his breath, needless to say I started laughing as well. And of course, since it was a situation that I shouldn't being laughing that hard in I ended up laughing even more. But we made it through the lesson, the Spirit was there and it was all good and a funny story came out of it.

Today my roommates and I went to the temple and that was a great experience. There were some foreign Hermanas going through the temple for the first time so two of my roommmates were their escorts and that was a great experience to see and get to know these other amazing Hermanas.

That's all the exciting things I have here on my end. Hope things are going well for everyone out there in the real world.
