Hey mom, hows it going? I usually email you around 3-5 o clock on Wednesday. Also ya its a mission rule that you can only email your parents. I am pretty sure its a grand scheme between the United States post office and the church. haha jk. I think missionaries are the only thing keeping the post office in business. So ya just wanted to clear that up. Its going really well here. Yesterday we got to go to a fireside by Elder Snow who is in the second quorum of 70. He talked about the importance of choices and they make you who you are. It was pretty good, but after hearing from Elder Holland there is really nothing that can compare. jk. Also yesterday we got to teach in the TRC, to a nice Mexican lady. The lesson was in Spanish, so its still hard because you can't say everything you would say how you would say it, so you have to come up with different ways of saying it, but most of the time i can get my point across. The lesson went well and she committed to be baptized and read and all that good stuff. She was Jewish and didn't believe in Jesus which was a good change, because every other single time the person has been Catholic so this was a good change. In the first 2 weeks here i learned more than I did in my cochise college class the whole year. I am learning a lot both in spanish and in the gospel. Everyday you just learn so much. Its kind of crazy because one day I will look at a sentence or a word and won't be able to remember it or pronounce it and the next day i ll come back and be able to say it perfectly, well maybe not perfectly but pretty good. I can definitely feel the Spirit helping me. The gift of tongues is real. I still won't probably understand a thing when i get to Chile because there spanish is crazy, and they speak ridiculously fast and add werid ending on the words like po and crazy stuff like that. So ya my goal is to be able to speak well before i leave, and then hope the listening comes. Most missionaries i talk to say it takes about 3 months in the field to really know whats going on, so I imagine it will be the same, so I'll just work hard and do the best i can. I got a hair cut today which was cool, because there free so ya it feels really nice. We went to the temple today which was really cool, i can almost complete the whole thing on my own. Tell Jon good luck on his job and hopefully everything works out. Um theres really not a whole lot to say, except that I love you. Thanks again for your package and all your letters. Its always nice to end the day by reading a letter. So ya thanks again for everything. I love being a missionary. I swear i know the scriptures so much better now. There are things in 2nd Nephi that i swear ive never read before and new ideas just come to your head. The spirit is so strong and teaches you so much. So ya I just close with that I love you and love being out here, its going by way to fast I only have 2 and half weeks left at the MTC, it feels like i just got here. Love you lots
