MTC Week #1

Hey Fam Whats up? Wow it is really early but in order to make sure I got to wash my clothes we decided to wake up early and beat all the other missionaries here. Well I made it through the first week and all I have to say is that I loved it! This place is amazing! On the first day, we just kinda got to know our district and our teachers. Our district is amazing and its really good because none of us are really home sick yet. My companions name is Elder Watchman and we get along really well. Our Zone is one of the zones that they chose to try the new pilot program on. It is really cool. They are really focusing on teaching us how to teach and leaving learning the doctorine up to us. We have been teaching some "investigators" and It is amazing. If you go into a lesson with the right spirit, anything can happen. Our first lesson was a little bit rough, but we were able to make a return appointment. But the next investigator we taught, It went amazing! Both elder watchman and I Just Talked by the spirit and we felt that it went really well. I am really excited because we get to teach again tonight. Starting this week we are going to go and start teaching at the TRC which is where it is a little bit more realistic, We wont know if we are teaching a teacher, a member, or a non member. I am a little bit nervous about it but I know that If we just speak through the spirit, it will go well. So how is everyone doing? Jason, how was prom? Mom, thanks for the package, It really is the best feeling when you get mail or even better, get the first package out of anyone in your district. Haha, but I really love most things about this place, the only bad part is the food! I have only been here for 5 days and it is already horrible! On the first night, we went into the cafeteria, and it said it was going to be steak. Yeah right, that was probably the farthest thing from steak that I have ever tasted and my stomach is still recovering. Well Im running out of time, mom you would be really proud of me because I just did my laundry all by my self! I hope everything is going well, Dont miss me too much because I am having the time of my life. If I have learned one thing this week it would be that the lords hand is in everything. I love this gospel and it has really taken me this long in my life to figure that out. It is amazing and I couldnt imagine myself being anywhere else right now. I love you guys lots, and thanks for everything that you do for me. I cant wait to here from ya.
Love,
Elder Gines
