I love you all so very much. Thank you for the letters and the package. Just what I needed to make me gain even more weight. But I do love all the stuff. Thank you. So more about my companeros. Elder Montalbo is from Federal Way, Washington. He is as chill as they come. I really am blessed to have the BEST companions. He played soccer for a long time and his club team won a national championship. Way cool. I am learning a lot about Hawaiian culture from him. I have another companion now because one fo the elders in our district went home. His name is Elder Williams. He is such a nice kid. He is from Gunnison, Ut. He is really funny and he enjoys lots of things but I don't know which "thing" is his favorite. Elder Montalbo is going to Peru Lima Central and Elder Williams is going to Ventura, California and it's only us 3 in the room. It's nice. We taught the first lesson yesterday to a "fake" real investigator at the TRC. We had practiced before but it didn't seem like we did all that well in practice, but when we taught it for real the spirit was so strong with us and is directed us on what to say and what scriptures to use. I experienced first hand teaching by the spirit. It is amazing and without a doubt the best way to teach The food here is really good and comes in HUGE quantities. Gym time is amazing. It's so fun. We played soccer and I stopped the best kid. I felt good. One of our district members sprained his ankle the first day but he is better now. We also played b-ball. We played 2 games of lightning which I won by the way, and we played 2 games of 3 on 3 and my team won both of those. It was great. I hope Tyler is doing ok. Please send me his address or have his write me and tell him I love him and thank him for his example. I saw Brian Wiseman and he leaves in 1 or 2 week. Crazy. They say the visas for Peru are usually ok but out of 22 going 7 didn't get them on time. So, hopefully mine comes. I love my district so much. We are all so close it's going to be hard to leave them in 2 weeks. Spanish is coming along I guess. I can pray, bear testimony, sing, and meet people. It's pretty fun. Since I've been hear I have learned from the spirit to love music. I love singing hymns (It probably kills my companions). Every time we sing the spirit testifies to me about how "the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me" C&C25:12.
I want to thank all of you with all my heart for your examples and for helping me be strong. Well family I have received 8 letters already so I have some more to write and not too much more time. I love you all.
With all my love, Elder Hirschi
