This week was kinda hard. I got discouraged for some of it, but I am doing better now. The first couple days I got homesick pretty bad, but now I am good to go. I think of home sometimes, but in a very good way. That's crazy the car got hit. I don't know what's up with that but at least it didn't cost as much as mine. I will try to send you a picture today on Travis's little thing. Hopefully that will work out. Sister Jones is so nice. She is my favorite lady out of all the mission people. She is so nice. We did a service project with her this week, and she is like, "Now if you guys get tired, we can take a break and just chat. She is super cool with the discouraged part. Some of it is the language. I think I get a tutor this week for the rest of the time so I don't know how that will go, but hopefully it will help me some. I don't understand a lot with our lessons of what they are saying, so it's hard to say stuff. Like I know what I want to say, but I just can't communicate that. So that makes me kinda upset, but it is also good motivation. This week we had a devotional by David Bednar. It was one of the best talks I have ever heard. It like answered questions that I had. It was pretty cool and he talked about the character of Christ and the all that and one part of his talk was the Brother of Jared and the stones how that was a trial of his faith. It is exactly what I needed at the time, so I know H.F. is looking after me. That is cool about Travis. I wish I could have been there, but I will be home for his home oming so that will be nice. It kinda cracked me up that we went through the same temple.
We played kick ball today and i had a sweet catch, like diving and everything. I have no idea how I did that, but it was pretty cool. We also went on the roof of the Thomas S. Monson building and that was fun. You can actully see stuff and it was like getting out with out leaving which I am ready to do. My stomach can't handle it here anymore. I am ready to get down in Chile. We have four people in our room, me, my companion Elder Horton, Elder Tousley and Elder Henderson. It is a pretty small room, but we aren't in there much so it doesn't matter. This week we got talking about mothers, and I talked about you. They said you sounded like a cool lady and I was like she really is. I should be smacked because I took my parents for granted sometimes, but I couldn't have done anything without you guys. I am sorry for that, but that won't happen anymore. I love you guys very much. I will try to send a picture. Talk to you next week.
Love,
Elder Gillies
P.S. How are the Red Sox doing?
