Hey hows it going? So talked to some people and they said that Dear Elder did work in Chile but I am not sure if thats right or not. I only heard that from missionaries so I haven't got that confirmed yet. So ya I am not sure. I am probably going to be sending home a package with some stuff, so hopefully i am not over in my bags going to chile so i have to pay some ridiculous 300 dollar fine. So ya it probably just have some books and that bath robe and stuff. So my knee is doing well, there is nothing new to report its back to normal. It was actually a really awesome blessing from the Lord to have the basketball courts closed. They closed them 2 weeks before we came and are opening them 2 days after we leave. That is a true example of the Lord not testing you more than you can bare jk. but ya thats been cool, during gym i ve been playing four square which is fun and not really that physically demanding so ya its all good with my knee. this last fireside was ok, not the greatest but still good. I dont remember the guys name but he was a released member of the second quorum of 70. He of course talked about obedience. I am pretty sure that we have not had one speaker who hasn't talked about it, but that is a really good thing because it is so important. Obedience really is such a huge deal, you really can see a difference in the elders who are exactly obedient and the ones that aren't. So ya I am working on being diligent and obedient. Those are the two most important things you can do along with faith. With these three things you are then worthy to have the spirit with you, which is what actually does all the work, you just have to be worthy of it and then ride the wave jk. I really like the mission, its so awesome, right now its kind of hard learning Spanish but I know in the end its going to be so much better that I learned a language. Its also really humbling which I think I definitely needed. So ya not a whole lot new to report, doing well excited and scared that I only have less than two weeks and then I am going to Chile. I feel ready to go, but so unprepared. but i guess I' ll learn trial by fire. I ve been working really hard and Spanish is starting to come, which is really exciting. Unfortunately I am going to Chile where they speak a crazy Spanish and add weird endings on words just for the hay of it like po, at least thats what some of the guys who served in Chile said. So ya I am excited healthy happy. Hope everything is going well back home. Love you all!!!
