Spanish and the Second Coming

Hola,

First off, you might want to pick up the pace this week, because I have officially finished the Isaiah chapters.  I'm currently in 2 Nephi 29, so  you still have a chance.  But let me just say, be grateful for the fact that you are reading Isaiah in English.  I swear whoever translated the Book of Mormon into Spanish started making up words in the Isaiah chapters.  Keep it up though, you want to get as far as you can before school starts.

This week was pretty good for me.  We keep pretty busy here, and I feel I'm getting the hang of this Spanish thing.  My only concern is that at times my English starts to get replaced with the Spanish, which is fine for now, but eventually I will come home, and will probably be teased mercilessly by a certain beloved family of mine.  You would never do that though, would you?

As far as the second coming goes, I do feel you are right, we don't seem to talk about it as much as we should.  It is interesting that you brought it up though, because I've actually been thinking about it for the last little while.  This is because yesterday night, we watched The Testaments with some members and one of our recent converts.  At the end of the film, some words come up on the screen that say "The Messiah has come, and he will come again."  I've found with that movie, which I have seen three times now during my mission, two of which were in Spanish, that different things stand out to me each time.  Speaking of that movie, if you haven't seen it recently, I highly recommend it.

That's all I've got for you this week.  I love you, and I'll write you later.

Love,

Elder Samuel Long
