okay about the adress, the one that i sent you last time is the one to use. the other one will not work pretty soon, so make sure to change to the new one:)
the turners!!! dang i am sad that i never was able to say goodbye to them:( give them my love!!
Congrats Rach!!! except im pretty sure i got 100% as well but we can give her the glory if she wants;)
WOW!!! i cant even imagine how amazing that temple is!!! i want to go now! but i guess i get to go to the temple this wednesday so thats still cool:) haha after my mission and when i am old and loaded with $$ i want to travel the world and go to everytemple in my lifetime!! i think that would be the cooooooooolest experience:) (Washington DC temple)
oh and the thing about dad answering tracy`s moms questions, litterally once or twice a day i will think of some weird doctrinal question that i want to know and want to ask dad but i just gotta ask a couple young dumb missionaries;) haha i need to start writing them down to ask him!! one of them is this, so with adam and eve, God gave them two commandments right? to multiply and replenish the earth, and also to not partake of the fruit. so he gave two commandments that they could not keep. it says in the book of mormon that god doesnt give any commandent that we cannot keep. So all of us elders have tried to come with anwers for it and i thought i had one but today when Elder Russel M. Nelson visited us, in his talk it proved my theory wrong......so Run this question by him and let me know what he has to say about it:)
Speaking of Elder Nelson, today i had the amazing opportunity to shake his hand listen to a prophet of god talk about pure doctrine. Easily one of the coolest experiences that i have ever had. The spirit that was in that room was incredible and also its funny because we often look at him like he isnt like us, but he is the same. like he was joking around and all this stuff it was sweet!! so when he first walked in we were standing and i was on like the 4th row and he turns and sees all of us 456 missionaries and said "¡oh my goodness!" like he litterally was in shock and taken back by it haha. it was amazing!!!!! also after the whole thing ended when he was walking out (this was quite becasue he didnt have the microphone so only us in the front heard it) but he said to his wife, "oh....i really dont want to leave......."then he turns around and said to us "I Love you guys" and walked out. when he said that.....i nearly broke into tears. i guess i never before understood that he litterally loves me. and i jsut had a moment where i could feel his christlike love for me personally. Super special. AMAZING way to start off my day!!!!
Also another thing that happened crazy this week on a less spiritual note.....our pension got robbed while we were sleeping.............Nuts right!!!! its actually kinda funny because i had a dream that we got robbed and there were four guys in our pension and stuff but i just thought that it was a dream...but aparently it was real! i had woken up and seen them and tried talking to them half asleep and that probably scared them and they left! but they didnt get very much. pretty dumb criminals. so all they took were my nike freerunners:( and Elder workmans 3 soccor jersies and a plant ha if they were smart they would have taken my money and camera that were on my desk, elder stewarts GoPro Hero3 that was on his desk and like idk anything more! but yeah we got robbed while sleeping so now i set up a ghetto security system haha but nothing has happened since, so we will see! anyways so since i dont have anyshoes anymore, i am going to have to buy some more this next week. so if its possible to see if i have money on my card that would be great:)
anyways about the spanish, so i have a question for dad. when he was here did the people always add "po" to the end of everything and also not pronounce "s"? so appàrently chili is known for their bad spanish haha and apparetnly peru is known for their perfect spanish haha so looks like i am going to talk like a gangster and braeden is going to talk like a proper latino haha
so this work is going super good and i am loving everyday more and more! im glad to be out here doing this for the lord. and i can tell already that he has prepared me long before the mission for the things that i am going through and will be going through. like only after 4 weeks im basically the senior comp and doing all our planning and our area book and keeping us going haha but i was born to do this and take the lead when it needs to be done (thanks to dads high expectations:))
I love this so much and am so excited to each up coming week!!!
Obediencia con Exactitud.
