Our spider pic of when we scared people, looks real!!
October 23rd, we took a District pic, because it was our one month anniversary of being there, I forgot about it, but the Elders were so excited about it being our one month anniversary! hahahaha
Then another is October 25th, for when we celebrated Christmas, everyone wore Christmas colors and Christmas ties.
What to say.... First off, thanks everyone for the letters and packages!! They seriously make my life to get them!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! I don't think I'll get to say that again before it's November... maybe... maybe not! So for Halloween, we're all doing a scripture trick or treat and give each other scriptures. Totally nerdy, but hey, we're missionaries! ;) Also I found out what my costume is going to be for Halloween this year. You guys won't believe it.... but I've decided to be.... a Missionary!
I know... Hard to believe right? It's just too crazy of a costume in the MTC in Utah. I don't think I'll blend in. Sadly, my Saturday will probs be the same as any normal day. But that's part of the missionary life, and we're going to definitely party it up in the righteous way of course! Basically sugar highs, teaching the Gospel, and passing out scriptures to Trick-or-Treaters. Just a normal day. :D
So uh.... I leave in FOUR days!! I'M SO PUMPED!!!! AHHHHHH But not sure if I want to leave America so soon. I feel like I just got back from Ukraine. Ah crazy, and Amanda... I definitely respond in Russian sometimes when I don't know what to say. Saying "I don't know" in Russian was easier than saying it in Spanish... And then sometimes, I respond in Sign Language. It's like a jumble of languages up in my head. Chau Igles! English is not easy for me anymore and I'm still in the States.... I just can't talk to anyone because I can't respond in the right language! hahahaha It's so fun. And weird... Especially when I'm in the middle of a lesson!
Okay... so last night... Something awesome happened. As per usual. ;) No... for reals... ELDER ANDERSEN from the 12 Apostles came and spoke to us!!!!!!! IT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!! (Incredibles quote. You're welcome). But seriously, so cool!!! I sang in the choir and was on the front row with my ridiculous striped shirt with birds, and loving life, and I'm so grateful he could come before I left. His talk was of course so good! It made me so excited to get out there and get going!!
Something he said in his talk, "Christ will never take our burdens away, He'll lift us above them." How true. Whenever I look back at some of the trials or things I struggled with, Jesus Christ always gave me the strength through him to overcome anything. When I struggled in my life, when I thought no one could help me, He heard my cry for help, he came to my side because He was already there. He already knew I was struggling, and He helped me change. I wouldn't be here without knowing that the Lord wasn't sending me out, He came with me.
I love you all!! Whatever struggles you face, just remember in the words of Elder Andersen: "Compare yourself to yourself". Only you and the Savior has known what you've gone through, don't be too hard on yourself. "Just try a little harder to be a little better."LOVE YOU LOTS!!!
See you soon Argentina!
Kobe
P.s. The words of my companion: "Nyquil is like the Atonement, I wouldn't be here without it."
p.s.s. There's been creepy church chimes/bells at night. I'm terrified because only me and my comp hear it. Yo no se pero raro!! And more Spider stories to come. *insert intense scary face*
