Elder Bednard

So Friday Elder Bednard will be in Puebla and will be talking to all the young adults, I am so... excited and can't wait. I am so lucky that I am here and to have this opertunitity. I remember when Elder Scott came to Las Vegas it felt so personal and it was like you could see him in a different light, like he is a real person.
I think that one of the greatest blessings for me has been that whenever I have felt homesick it hasn't lasted for very long. For example, I have been DIEING to talk to people back home. But there has been a few problems with making phone calls and everytime that I have tried to make phone calls it went wrong. I forgot the numbers or... I don't know it's really frustrating to tell you the truth because to make a phone call to anyone it costs the person that is making the call. So recieving is free but to call cost, even at a local level and phone calls are expensive. So that is why I havn´t called anyone, and for those that have my phone number I hope that you would call me :D
Any ways, my point is that each time that I do feel lonely or sad, there has always been ways for me to be cheered up. For example, last Saturday I went to President Hinckley's funeral, and then went home, I was feeling mighty homesick I think more then any other reason because I wanted to have someone around me that would understand how I felt. Well, I went home and didn´t want my host mom to know that I was sad, but instead of having to explain myself her son came over with their two children of 5 and 6 years old. It was so cool, because I was able to distract myself and felt better. It was great, and the five year old boy, who is so funny, Said some really funny things, he was like, "Do you have a boyfriend?" and then later he was sitting on the couch next to me and said, "My heart is like, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM when I sit next to you." In fact Saturday when I was out on a school trip he asked his Grandma where I was and thought that she was joking around with him that I was gone. Ahhh... how cute a little admirer the age of Gavin. Ha, ha, ha, I think it's funny.
So another cool thing is that I am doing better at Spanish then I have ever. It's wierd because I always saw myself as the one that makes all the mistakes and needs the most correcting and to tell you the truth it makes me nervious that I am at a point where a lot of my peers can't help me. Luckly there is always someone smarter and better that shows points us in the right direction so that we don't get prideful. I have this horrible fear that I will think that I am "so... good at Spanish" and be too prideful to be corrected. That is the dumbest thing I could ever do so if I ever get that way, just put me in my place, PLEASE! Pride is a horrible thing, and I think that I just have to be careful because I have always been a smarty pants.
Anyways, the food here is wonderful, and I highly recomend Taco Arabic if you ever can try them, WOW! So yeah... that's it for now.

Gavin woke up the other day saying "I don't want to be a sandwich" He is so random and so funny. He made up a phrase in the dar and said the baby seahorse died and his daddy cried. He is also very helpful. Jared in incredibly creative in a very unique way. I find it most difficult to keep my hands off his projects so they can be his.
