They Call Me HAWAII Five O

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
I am so happy that the Spurs practically swept the Heat. Was it a clinic they put on? 

So yesterday I had to give a blessing to one of the guys in my district because he hurt himself playing volleyball. It was pretty cool! I think I'm starting to get better at giving them go figure haha. But the really cool thing is, that he was put into a wheel chair because of the injury but today he's feeling so much better he can almost start walking again. So that is one of the coolest things I have seen yet.


Um yesterday was probably the hardest day that I have ever had in the CCM.  I could not function at all. I couldn't understand what anybody was saying to me. Usually I'm decent about being able to decipher what they say to me but yesterday was awful. I just absolutely hated Spanish with a passion yesterday. But they one of my teachers came in and he showed us this video on Christ like attributes. He told us to pick one to work on and I decided that I needed to work on Hope. But in a different type of way. I studied it this morning (in English) and it just helped remind me that by me being on the mission the lord will bless me with the ability to learn the language.

I have played some ball. So far I'm the best. They call me HAWAII five O (which I like because that is a sick nickname). 

So basically last Tuesday after I had emailed you guys we had a devotional in the auditorium. It started to rain so freaking hard it was ridiculous. It rained so much that it flooded the auditorium. I was sitting in the front row which was really cool. 

Everything is starting to move much faster like literally it feels like pday was just a few days ago. I really like pizza day. As much as a love Mexican food I'm starting to hate it haha.
The investigator was a practice one, but now he is our teacher so that's really cool. 
I have heard gunshots. I have heard more fireworks than anything. We aren't allowed to leave the CCM because it is too dangerous. 

Who baptized Calvin. I'm so happy that he was baptized. That is so awesome I knew he would. I'm seeing sister Clark more so I talk to her. 

Mucho Amor,

Elder Montgomery

Mi Espanol Es Muy Mal

That sounds fun. They play a lot of Volleyball here and basketball.
This place es muy bonita y es fantastico estar yo soy here. It is very
colorful. My district is amazing. So four of the eight in my district
are from the south and the other four are from Utah. An the funny
thing is, is that they are all going to the south for there missions
and we are all going to Utah. My companion is Elder McK. I like
him. I wish he would talk more but oh well. 
I did meet Sis. Clark it was kind of weird but that is probably because I have never
met her, she is very nice. Oh my gosh the food here is amazing but the
one problem is, is that it's mostly just carbs and we don´t get
enough time to work all of them off.
Why is there a picture of Madeline in the hospital. I
have but not many we can only take them on pdays so Ill take a lot
today.
Espanol es muy dificil. Mi espanol es muy mal. All though it is
getting better. Like this first week I think I have learned more than
I did in the past 3 years in high school. The investigator that we are
teaching is awesome!!! His name is Roque. While we were teaching him
the other day and this came out of nowhere I felt the impression to
ask him to get baptized. And So I asked him. He said that he would
love to get baptized and his date is set for July 15th.  Any tips for
helping me learn the language better?

Mucho Amor,

Elder Montgomery


p.s.  Oh yeah here is the message for the week. The Atonement is real. I know
this for a fact because I have felt the Saviors love for me and
without it we would be nothing nor could we do nothing. I am so
grateful for Christ sacrifice for us. 


Um yeah about that satchel. I

kind of need it haha but I¨ll just wait for Utah. Can you send my
shoes to Utah the BYU Hawaii shirt and all of the other stuff that we
took out of the suitcase please. Oh yeah there is a guy in the CCM
that played basketball for BYU Hawaii. He says that I will love it
there and that Coach Evans is the best. ( he found out later that Coach Evans is leaving. :( He wasn't happy..)
