1/24 of the way there!   

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    

I have one more week before I offically enter into the actual field!!!!!!!

Lessons have been going great! each day I am able to speak more spanish and it is life changing!! We have commited two "investigators" to baptisim and and we are starting to go through all of the lessons with them. Speaking by the power of the spirit is real, and it is amazing. I can offically bear my testimmony right on the spot when teaching. 

i love hear from everyone that has written me, it is amazing to hear from all of you and what life is like back in the United States. The new batch of elders are awesome! They take care of themselves and are always willing to lend a helping hand. My district has finally hit it's groove. I can hold basic conversations with native speakers which feels amazing, and my teachers are pretty freaking awesome! 

I heard that there was a shooting in Texas, a Truck  that ran over people in NYC, and someone that got shot at U of U. wondering what that is all about. Saturday I am going out tracting again before entering the field I will have more for you then. 
Love you all,
Elder Belnap

Spanish is amazing litterally the gift of tounges is sooooooo real, I love the spanish language and the teachers who have put up with me for this long.

My companion is great, it was a really rocky start in the begining but now things have finally been worked out and we are KILLING IT!!!

Today I went to the Temple again and I can understand most of what is being said, I can read outloud a lot of the stuff that is needed inside and it feels amazing.

I will be heading out again this Saturday to Tract and I really hope that things will be just as funny if not even funnier.

February 5, 2018 Man a week! This week was slow for work but we had a bunch of stuff to do. we had entrovistas  on tuesday , and man I love my mission presidente Calquin. Also we found a perfect family to teach, it was amazing. It started off as trying to find another contact, but then turned into a little message about the Book of Mormon. We came back another day and taught the whole family. The Dad needs to find faith, but man he is so close to finding it. Speaking of which if you guys have a good scripture on faith I would love to hear it.

In funny stories I had a sonagram on my butt (really lower back) at the hospital the other day, it was really funny.  Also we have...

May 8, 2018 This week we have been working hard to try and fill the area before one of us leaves next week. Gustavo is super close to being baptized this week, we have been working super hard to try and get everything in order to help him get to this point but it is all in his hands now. Transfers will be ending in this week and I really don´t really want to leave this area. The dogs that we have in the pension have been fighting recently and it has been super wierd. My spanish is actually pretty good now, my companion said that I talk in spanish when I sleep now.  Mission life has actually been pretty good here, I have learned a lot about faith and most of all perservierance. In this mission it takes 560 contacts, for 80 investigators for 24 of them to go to church, for 5 of them to become members. For us it has been a great motivator for us to give it all we got in  the mission.  I realy love this mission and quite honestly I don´t really want to change areas or ...
