Hola familia!! This is my last weekly email in the MTC!!! WOO!!! Man this week has been s o short! We have been working alot on our spanish but i still dont know if i am ready... I know when i get out there i will get it pretty quickly (or i hope) Well this week has been alot of preparing for our leaving, like last gym last this last that... We hosted a new batche of elders and one was from sweden! spoke great english and was alot of fun to talk to! The other was from orem and is heading off to oregon spanish speaking! Well we had a "baptism interview" for our fake investigator because he was ready, and man i am proud of us! we are able to talk mor e or less in spanish! Also Elder Goddards mom sent 18 bottles of the Henry Weinhards root beer. we are dining like kings tonight! Its been a tough week for all of us... Realizing we wont see half our district for 2 years at least... they are great guys, and would have loved to have an oppurtunity to serve with them as companions... BUT i got news! I am no lon ger traveling on my own! They switched the rest of the missionaries going to my area to my flight! OH i also had in field oriantation and met some other elders and a sister going to San Pedro Sula! I am so glad i am not them but still kind of envious of them... theyare going to the guatamala mtc first then going to honduras BUT they have not learned a single word in spanish here... Not a single one! they are learning the "fundamentals" and how to teach but NO spanish here. they are a new pilot program, so they want to see how it works for them and see if it can work...That would be aw esome but VERY frightening at the same time... But they are fully immersed without the problem of having to teach to REAL investigators. OH and i volunteered my companion to play piano in sacrament meeting :D he isnt happy with me bu t hey... it was funny XD well... I wont have anymore time i am sorry, but i will be writing soon about how FREAKING AWESOME THE STARS ARE DOWN THERE!!!!! And yes. there will be lizards!

Con mucho amor,

Elder DeGriselles
