Go Italians!!!

Jaydan had a big sliver in his thumb. The spider was as big as his thumb.

Jaydan was in Montevideo for meetings on Monday and Tuesday. He is starting to write using Spanish words and not remembering the English word. (good sign) He enjoyed the meetings a lot and learned so much at them. He thought it was nice that he was able to understand just about everything that was said. He always loves when he can understand! He said the meeting was just about the basics and working together as missionaries. He really liked the message the President's Wife spoke of. She talked about staying on your knees after you are through praying and just listening. They gave an example of the Mission President having a Missionary contact him and as soon as he did the Mission President just left. We need to take a moment to just ponder and meditate and listen for the voice of the Lord.

Jaydan also liked hearing that the missionaries need to listen with their hearts and not just their ears when they are teaching. He said if they do that they won't have to fear or worry about anything and that the spirit will guide them in what to say and do. Jaydan know that is the only way they will really be able to teach or help others is through the spirit. Without it they are nothing and aren't able to do anything. Jaydan feels his job is to help others "feel" the spirit. (I think he is right)

Jaydan has an Italian Missionary living with him and thinks it is really cool that the only two Italians are living in the same house. (or part Italians...meaning himself) Then he wrote.....sono anziano liccioli ei spero che voi vi ricordiate italiano perche io sto servendo las missione da capoooooo ciaooooo. (whatever that means....I think you have to know Italian) Every night at 10:00 they have a bowl of fruit loops together since they bought a huge bag of it. The Italian Elder is learning English really well and speaking it well too. They give cheers to each other with their bowls of fruit loops. (like people do with champagne) Jaydan said they just have "good chemistry" together and a lot of fun.

On the way home from Rivera, Jaydan and Elder Tippets were sitting together quoting funny movies. Jaydan thought it was hilarious and so much fun. They played 20 questions with just movies. That was a great way to pass the time on a long bus ride back home.

Jaydan is still trying to obey all the rules even the little ones.

He ended this week with "GO ITALIANS!!!! and mucho freakin amor"
