Hey Everyone,
First thank you Rae Blanco for
your letter, I enjoyed getting it. I have to admit I have not heard of
most of the food you mentioned. Im sorry this reply is through email.
P'day´s are pretty hetic most of the time.
Second, Brittani Rawlings, If you are working at the
MTC you need to say hi!! I have been looking for you but I havent seen
you yet. Elder Brady is still here and he hasnt seen you either.
Third, Family, I saw Elder Alex Christofferson yesterday. It was
really good to see some family here in the MTC. He seems like he is
doing well and is happy. The first day is always the most overwhelming
but he seemed happy.
and last, I am still here in the MTC. Still no word
about my Visa. Ive decided to stop asking the travel office, and just
wait haha. There is a reason my visa hasn't come in yet and i still dont
knwo what it is, but all i know is there is a reason I am still here in
the MTC. Mission Presidents conference is this weekend so there is a
whole bunch of general authorities comming to speak. there are 6
sacrament meetings for the whole MTC this sunday and I am sure there
will be General Authorities there (I have been assigned to pass the
sacrament in that meeting!!). Also there is a MTC wide preisthood
meeting. So I might have the chance to hear from some of the Apostles
there as well. Pretty exciting.
Dallin Eliason, I might be here when you arrive. So keep your
eyes out. Our zone leaders have been here for almost their full 9 weeks
because they are still waiting for their visas.

funny story. So every Wed. we go to the TRC or Teachign Resource Center
and teach vollunteers who speak our language. This week we taught a man
named scott. Scott is a very interesting guy. (He looks just like Uncle
Justin)
When we arrived at the TRC we went up to the third floor and found
the door that we were supposed to knock on. Scott was on the phone so we
were going to wait adn not bother him, but our teacher (hermano davis)
knocked anyways. So scott answers the door and Lo and Behold... It is
the guy who played the investigator from the "Best Two Years". I about
swallowed my tounge. We sat down and began our lesson wtih scott and we
got to the part were we were sharign a quote from Preach my Gospel. We
had forgotten our copies of spanish PMG so I had to read from a mini
spanish version my companion had. The print was so small that it was
hard to read so i kept stuttering and tripping over words. My mind
flashed back to the part int he movie where the new missionary testifies
that He also knows that Joseph Smith was a pamplet. It was so funny it
was hard not to laugh. Of course that didnt help my spanish at all.
So, so everyone knows. I taught the investigator from
the best two years. Kind of surreal. not going to lie. And i ended up
being the awkward gringo in our lesson.
(it seems like in
every lesson some one owns at spanish and someone keeps forgetting the
vocab) its all good though. He said our spanish was really good for only
being here for four weeks. that was encouragement.
I swear I have learned more spanish in the last 4 weeks
than I have in 3 years of highschool. (The trick to learning spanish,
it seems, is being completely humble. Still working on it. but the Lord
will help me get there)
Thank you all for your love and support. I can feel the
power of your prayers. please keep praying. There is no work more
important than this.
The church is true, Tell your friends!
Always turn outward, and Keep Smiling!!
Love,
Elder Bunker
