Week Four: August 7th 2013

not really it seems like not too long ago that it was p day and i had the chance to email, and had a day to relax more. okay thank you for doing that for me i have no idea where on earth that stupid thing can be. it seems like i haven't even been here that long and im already about to go out into the field with real people. hey im reading it every day too!!! (the book of Mormon)  i started when i first got here and im in Mosiah so you are beating me!! ya it amazes me how fast the people lose faith in the book of Mormon. i have always though that if i ever saw half the stuff that they did then there is no way i could ever do half the stuff they did. its weird to hear that people are getting ready for school and stuff, Sara told me the day i get stateside is the day she heads out for byu. its going to be so weird seeing kids go to school and me not go to school. I miss the lake too.... those were always some of the funnest times with you guys. 

check out this nacho libre bike i got to sit on hahahahahha

My District Leader Wearing the Ugly Tie

 The temple is closed for a couple weeks so i don't think i will be able to go until the week before i leave. but today me and my companion after breakfast took a nap. that was amazing, i love p days so much, throughout the week there is so much stuff we have to do and it gets a little hectic and its nice to finally have a little day off. the mtc is starting to get kinda dull, its the same routine over and over again and it sucks because i just want to get out to the mission field and do work. i know that i need to be here though to learn more, especially Spanish. This past week was very roller coaster like. one day i would be feeling very low and then the next day i would get exactly what i needed and have a very spiritual day. Saturday was a rough day and it sucked, and then Sunday came around and it was my favorite day so far, the day was so spiritually filled it was crazy. in our devotional we watched a video of elder Holland at the Provo mtc and he told the story of peter after Christ died and how they went right back to fishing and how Jesus came to him and told him again to put down his nets and feed his sheep. and it hit me so hard that that is exactly what i am doing, i am going out to feed Christs sheep, and i cannot wait to do it. i know that i wont have a baptism every week or anything close to that but i cannot wait until i can see the joy in someones life when they change their life around and come unto Christ  i have seen how much joy it brings to me all the time knowing the gospel and i cannot wait until i can share that with others. we taught a member from the city yesterday and it was really cool. her name was Angelica. but it doesn't sound like how we say it in america hahaha. what was the really cool part is that when we taught her all we really could do was bare our testimonies because she was already a member so that's what we did. and we asked her how she felt about her savior and she went on talking for like 2 strait minutes and it was very cool. i understood like 10 words of what she said, but i knew that what she said was genuine and sincere. i felt the spirit so much while she was talking and it didn't matter that i couldn't understand her because the spirit was so strong in that room that i didn't need to. well have a good rest of the week and i will talk to you in a week!
