This was an eventful week at the MTC. On Tuesday, we got a talk from D. Todd Christofferson. I was impressed by his Candor and Sincerity. He talked about giving your will up to the lord. On thanksgiving we had a talk from Russel M. Nelson, who talked about thanksgiving. What was kinda interesting about that is he told us to think about all the people we loved and our errand from the lord while he played the song "Alleluia" by Men of Motab. I admit, hearing that beautiful song and thinking about all of you, I teared up a little bit. It was the first time I've been legitly homesick. And I was directed to do it by an Apostle of the lord. Ha ha, well, it was the only time. I love you all.
A funny thing happened the other day. I was having one of those days where the part of my brain that holds the Spanish language was in open rebellion. It was during a lesson with one of our fake investigators, and we were talking about keeping the sabbath day holy, and our fake investigator was talking about how he had to work on Sundays, and I said. "Dios entende que usted necisita comer su famillia." Ha ha, I can't belive I said that. I meant to say "feed" your family.
Also, I've been sick for like 2-3 weeks or so. This week it actually got kinda got to the "psychedelic world of pain" level. Ha ha, that was an interesting day. There was no doctor in because it was a weekend. My companion has been sick for longer than I have too. Not used to the Utah germs I guess. But on thanksgiving day they had us watch 17 Miracles, which is about the handcart companies. I then realized that I would never complain about anything ever again for the rest of my life. The movie is pretty depressing, but it's really well put together for a Church movie. I'm sure you guys would like it.

I know I say this up and down, but I love being a missionary. I would recommend it to everybody who can.
Also, thanks all my family members for the E-mails, sorry I don't have time to answer you all, I'll try to get to it but I only have half an hour to write all this stuff. In case you were wondering why this blog is the way it is.
Love you all!
Elder Call.
That rhymed.
Like a chime,
and a dime.
Editors note: Man Joe, your sick, and still moving on and telling everyone to serve a mission. "Hurrah for Israel!"
