Hello family! como estan! Hope everything is going well for you. It is all going well here in the MTC. The language is coming along It is crazy how much more I know but there is so much I need to learn I am getting to the point where I pretty much can understand all of what our teachers are saying and most of what our investigators are saying. Apparently the other elders in my room said I was speaking fluent spanish in my sleep the other night now i guess I just need to transfe that over to real life. I dont know if I have told you guys about the Progressive investigator experience but it is really cool experience and you learn a lot. We have two investigators named Elias and Aturo, They are really our teachers who role play as one of the investigators they taught on there mission. We teach one of them each day and it was really awesome because it is so close to what the real experience will be like.. I think or atleast as close as we can get. I love teaching It is one of my favorite things to do. I have noticed that I am a shy person but one thing that I am not shy about is teaching in fact that is one of the things I need to work on in our lessons is not talking so much and letting my companion teach more. That is one of my goals because sometimes I talk to muchin lessons.. I know that probably doesnt sound like me. This week was also really great. Tuesday we had another apostle at our Devotional. It was Dallin H. Oaks it was reallty cool talk. At the beginning nobody knew who the speaker was and we were just sitting there waiting and then the whole room just stood up and I could not see who it was but I knew it was an apostle because everyone stood up and I could feel an extra powere in the room it was awesome. He also talked about how important the sacrament and what an opportunity it is for us so that we can always have his spirit to with us. Also this Sunday was probably the best sunday in the MTC for me it was just a great day. I dont really know where to start. But I think it began with scripture study I always notice how much better my day goes when I start my day off with study and not just study but when I use the time they give us effectively and try to learn then in Sacrament meeting it was awesome. I cant remember if I told you but one of the members in our presidencey is Brother Doman.. Brandon Doman's older brother. He and his wife are the coolest people. He is one of the most powerful speakers I have met. He spoke in sacrament about basically what his mission ment to him and to other people at the end of his talk he told this story that elder HOLLand had said about once when he saw a missionary return home from his mission and when he came around the corner the missionarys father who was some manly farmer and that last person elder holland thought would do anything sensative sprinted to his son when he saw him and gave him the biggest hug forever. I am pretty sure everyone in the room was crying when brother doman told us this story, I dont know it was just great in every kind of way and than later and many other things happened that I dont really have time to say but one thing i have learned this week is how much god loves us and that there are no coincidences in the Gospel.
It was nice to here from you guys. It sounds like everything is going well at home. Dad I pray for you every day and I know you will do great in your schooling. I didnt get into the general conference choir... pretty sad but o well what can I do it still is general conference and it will be amazing experience anyway. That is cool you got to go to Sam's farewell im jealous haha..sounds like it was a really cool experience it is crazy how fast time is going already. I feels like I was just home the other day but I know a lot mor spanish and more about the gospel. It is crazy. I might have a list of stuff I want you guys to send me but I am out of time so I can send that in a letter.. most importantly maybe a few pictures of you all maybe in that picture book or not just some pictures will be nice. I will also be sending you some pictures and videos this week so get excited :) Oh an Mom I am happy you got my card so sorry I didnt get it to you on your birthday I didnt even realize it was the 20 until that night when I was writing in my journal and I wrote the date.. so sorry. well got to go, I love you all so much and thank you for your prayers it means a lot I will continue to pray for you all.
