The Men of the Miracle

Tuesday was the day of redemption for the MTC tho as we heard from the one and only Elder Holland!!!!!!!! Gosh he is so amazing. He has such a strong testimony and the spirit was so strong there. He's so funny too. He told us that if we go on missions and come home and one day walk up to him with dreadlocks and a tatt that he would punch us in the nose! He told us how PMG started with President Hinckley saying that there was something wrong with the missionary program because Elders were coming home and falling away. He also told us that we should come home with one convert- ourselves, I thought that was really cool. Another thing was that he said that we should be the missionaries that our family, our little brothers and sisters, and nieces and nephews think we are. We have agency but we do not have the right to let them down. I thought that was so cool cause I got a pic of Holly and Alauna from Chelsea the other day and i stuck it in the cover of my study journal. So now I am always reminded to be the missionary that they think I am. They are so stinking cute, I love that picture. Spanish is going alright, ups and downs every day but through dilligent study and the blessing of the Lord I'm sure Ill get it down. I really can't believe that I have already been out here one month! I need to get to Chile cause i dont have enough time!!!! Next week is gonna be so scarry because we teach the first lesson in spanish I'm so nervous but elder hale is way good so he can bale me out if I get in a bind. Oh speaking of I met my new mission president yesterday! He is so awesome he named Me, my comp, Elder Richins, and Elder Hale hombres del Milagro- the men of the miracle. He comes to the MTC everyday for classes and then he will get to Chile two weeks after we do. Oh and so we have made it our mission here to set up our teacher, Hermana (sister) Davis with another sub that has taught us Hermano (Brother) West. Hes so legit, he kinda looks like Marc Walberg from shooter and his family has a cattle ranch in Arizona, so he has land and is a good looking man. I'm not gay now just stating the truth. we are gonna play matchmaker while we can. Thats about everything important that has happened this week so far. How are mae and roy holding up I miss riding and roping. Im glad ya got my letters I was worried when i didn't hear from you till yesterday- yet again the Lord answers my prayers. Well my time is almost up! I'll shoot a few letters home and tell ya what I forgot to. The gospel is so true! Be grateful for it cause it's what makes our family so legit. I know that Joseph Smith did see god. He was such a great man and I am so greatful to him. Im so glad that I am here even tho I miss everyone so much. The Lord just keeps blessing me so that i know that this is where I am supposed to be. Thank you all so much for you letters and everything. I love you all so much and miss you. The church is true, and missionary work aint like burger king- ya cant have it your way- Elder Holland.

Love,

Elder Roy
