3 weeks left in America!

Well, I've got three weeks left in America. How crazy is that?!! The time has flown by here, It feels like I got here yesterday. So this week we heard from D Todd Christofferson! It was a great talk! I learned that the spirit can't help you take steps until you start walking. So we have to do and work work work then the spirit will help us! I'm hoping that we can see one more apostle speak before we leave! Wednesday I had the opportunity to host for the first time- I would wave at the families as they drove by and they'd wave back at me through a bunch of tears. Helping the new ones out was way fun. Well my district is now the oldest here... I can't believe it. I think we are due for a new district leader but my bets are on Elder Hale, guess I'll find out for sure on Sunday. On Thursday I had the opportunity to teach a lesson- the MTC is thinking about changing the way they do TRC so we got to be the guinea pigs and try out the new way. It was so awesome, we were supposed to teach the first lesson but ended up combining the restoration with the plan of salvation and it went great. By far the best lesson we have taught here, the spirit was so strong and I was sharing scriptures like I actually knew what I was doing for once. I know without a doubt that that wasn't me, I dont know that much but I know the Spirit does. Ok about the ingrown toenail, I went to the podiatrist and had the ingrown part removed yesterday- It was huge!!! Ill send pictures, I almost kept it and taped it in my journal but then I remebered when ty kept all his belly button lint and Shar had him throw it away! The doc was great, after he pulled it he stuck a q tip with acid on it in my toe three different times. That should kill the nail root so I wont have this problem anymore. He also said that I have feet like Shaq, yeah I have feet like a black man, kinda weird. But anyways my joint under my big toe will eventually develop really painfull bone spurs that will have to be surgically removed someday. He said arch supports would help slow the growth of the spurs so Ill see what I can do about that. It was so crazy to go out into the world, I got stared at like I was some sort of zoo animal for the first time, it was pretty funny. But I'm feelin better today, its tender but better. I don't know what causes it my shoes are fine, except Ill probably need new ones after I've been in chile for a while- the ones I bought from big five are wearing fast, i switch shoes every day but they are wearing down, but they have plenty of life left in them so dont go buy any, they just aren't as good as the docs i got from ty- which look great cause I actually take care of them unlike tyler! I've been trying to speak as much as possible, i sound like a gringo but Ill get better when I get there. Sounds like katie kicked butt this week!!! Good job on second place and talking to dillon!!! It was awesome to hear from kiki this week!!! I also heard from the Hill family, Brenn sent such a good letter, it was a pick me up that I needed so tell him thank you so much. All is well here just getting ready for Chile, I should get my flight plans sometime next week so I will let you know when I find out. Im really glad I dont need a visa, everyone here is having problems with them. Thank you all so much for all that you do, I can feel you love and prayers every day. Keep it up cause Chance Roy needs it, getting a bit anxious for Chile, but it will be a great experience. gotta go love you all so much.
