Things are great here! We had mission conference this past Sunday which is like mini general conference! It was really good, President Smith's wife gave a great talk! Tuesday night devotional rocked as normal. We heard from Larry Gibbins of the second quorum of the seventy. He spoke on how our church logically just makes sense. Oh and on sunday we watched the Joseph Smith movie, what an amazing man, I'm so grateful that he was brave enough to sacrifice all he had to restore this church. Spanish this week has been going pretty good, I cant ever go to sleep till bout eleven thirty so I went to the book store and bought a reading light and I just cover myself with my blanket and study spanish until i get sleepy. Which has proven to have blessed me this week. Elder Hale is a genius and the language is coming easy to him and he has commented on how my Spanish has improved this week! Pretty sure I have set the district record for most dear elders in a day as I was bombarded with a whole crap load! But it was so good to hear from everyone and I laughed when chelsea put the explanation at the top that you were sending them to Rancagua. It was great! I had another really cool expirience at the temple today. We went to do initatories and as I was waiting to go through for the second round I looked and saw that two of the names that I had recieved were from Chile. I felt the Spirit so strongly and it made me so excited that I was able to serve someone from Chile and I'm not even there yet! We are all chomping at the bit to get out to the field even though we aren't ready. I'm in a great district with Elders that work hard but still do know how to joke around. Oh and we wrote a song together to the tune of skater boy by avril lavine, Ill send the lyrics home when we finish it. I thought that was pretty funny.Mawm! happy mothers day, what can I get you while I'm here, I really have no idea what ya need and I cant make anything legit. Gosh I'm trying to think of what has happened this week, not really too much out of the ordinary, the time passes by so fast that the days just seem to melt together. Oh last Friday at TRC Elder Hale and I rocked our lesson! We had to first practice knocking doors and speak in Spanish which was horrible because our mock investigator was a mission president in Argentina and i swear he was not speaking spanish! Neither of us could understand a single word he said. But we went back five minutes later to teach the lesson in English and we rocked it! He got all choked up and told us that there will be rough times on our mission and Satan will try our testimonies and try to make us question this work. But I without a doubt know that this work is so true, I cannot wait to get out there and share the happiness that this true gospel brings with the people of Chile. My testimony is growing so much and I love this work. I love this gospel, and this work and Joseph Smith, wow that man was amazing. Happy Mothers day to mom and rae and shari and grandma fowers and hansen and whoever i may forget to name! I love you all so much. thank you for being such great influences of me.
