Elder King Real quick, can you email me Jena´s writing address (not MTC
address) the most embarrassing thing happened to me the other day, and i
am just used to tell her embarrassing stuff haha. P.s. I have a letter
coming for you in the mail. It should be there in about a month.
Mom can you send me the writing address to our grandparents? I want
to write them too, Also i would love it if you could send me sheet music
(in an actual letter) of legit arrangements of church songs, that are
super beautiful on the piano and would push me to learn harder yet still
super beautiful songs
Dad so your entire email i totally understand exactly what your talking about hahaha
Ok
story time yesterday i was in sacrament meeting and the branch
president president was announcing the program for the day, when he said
Elder Crockett is going to give us a 10 min talk, and then looked at me
and winked. And i thought to myself ¨¨Is that really how he is going to
ask me to give a talk this week? He should know i´m already teaching
the gospel doctrines class and making a special appearance in the
primary to teach them too.¨´
So i go up there and i have no idea was i
was going to talk about, but i was one of the main benefactors of the
program so i couldn´t just bear my testimony and sit down. But then i
realized, oh i´ve always been good at just talking religiously for a
while, it will be the exact same as before. So i go up there and i start
telling a story from my past lif, which apparently my entire life has
been a giant parable because i can take any random part of it and turn
it religious haha but i was talking and i got to a point in the story
about 4 mins where i was quoting something that someone told me once,
when i realized that i actually had to translate what they said to me
into spanish. ANd so i paused for a second and apologized and said
´´Sorry, i just realized that no one used to talk to me in spanish
before so i need to translate something in my head real quick´´ They all
laughed, and then i quoted them and continued on giving my talk. And it
turned out great, lots of people came up to me and said they loved in.
But i didn´t really think about what just happened at all until i was
about to teach my class, i was talking to one of the new sister
missionaries (2 of them are super Gringas, i´ll have to write a letter
home about them) (they are incredible thought) But one of them says to
me (in english) ´´Elder Crockett, how long did it take you to be
understand everything, and be able to speak spanish well´´ and i sat
there and thought about it for a second then said ´´I honestly do not
know, i just woke up this morning and was fluent hahaha´´ Which is
straight up falso, just so you all know i can not understand everyone, i
can say everything that i want to, and can think in spanish without any
problem, or effort. But Chileans talk so fast hahaha. I can understand
all of the Latino missionaries though, because a bunch of them are from
like México, and Central America, and those countries there speak
really slowly and clearly, so it´s super easy to understand them.
But
anyways i also taught the Principios del Evangelio class, and did a
bunch of stuff in the Primary after that. Which that was super fun, the
teacher was so glad i came in when i did. It was super funny/sad her
eyes where all red and bloodshot, and she was all like ´´Elder Crockett,
thank you so much for coming. I think it would be fantastic if you
could get them to learn anything´´ hahaha ANd i had so much fun with
them. I helped them work on one of the articles of faith, and he talked
about the Joseph Smith story. And it was great. And the primary lady
said that she would just love it if i could come back and help more
often, but to be completely honest i´ll probably end up teaching in
priesthood soon enough too hahaha. It´s just like i´m a part of the quorum anyway.
I even have a home teaching companion named Hermano
Benjamin. I´ve talked about him before. He was the humble old man that i
talked about once who didn´t know there was a living profeta today.
Great guy he is probably one of the most faithful members i have ever
met. But the more time i spend home teaching with him the more i realize
that the missionaries should have taught him so much more than they did
when they baptized him haha Well i need to go now. But i love you all!
keep me posted!
