FAMILIA!!!
How is k town?? Provo is doing fine... Not gonna lie this week flew
by pretty fast BUT yesterday and the day before were pretty hard.... I
was pretty homesick and was dwelling hard core on the negatives.. No
bueno!! Umm I loved the cake ha ha I shared it with tons of people! They
loved it as well! On the schedule TALL is the online learning class,
when we come into the computer lab and just do this program for Spanish
and what not... nothing too exciting! Its actually quite boring!! So
this week like I said flew by, nothing way cool, BUT what was awesome was
yesterdays devotional! So this is how the whole thing went... They have
us sing the opening hymns and just bring the spirit into the room,
then the guy under President Brown, President Nally's 3 daughters played
the violins and his wife played the piano to the song "Lead, Kindly
Light". It was so incredible and it brought such a spirit! Not only that
but then President Brown got up and bore his testimony about missionary
work and all this other stuff along those lines and that was incredible
as well! Think I'm done??? You better not, because I'm just barely
starting! So then after those two parts, the spirit is completely in the
room, everyone can feel it and is just the best feeling ever, and the
one and only David Archeleta gets up there and has a solo!!! Yeah I know
what you are thinking, lameeee. NO!!!! We always made jokes about him
everyone does, but I was blown away by how strong the spirit came even
after that because of him!!! He sang "Spirit of God" The first verse
in English, second in SPANISH and then finished with English again! I
seriously can't believe how good his voice was... and at the end he kinda
started to tear up and It was... jeez... like seriously good ha ha.
I don't know what more to say than that! OK so now the spirit is just
bouncing off the walls of the gym by now and guess who gets up now to
speak?? hmm... lets see.... M. RUSSELL BALLARD!! This is the 3rd quorum
of the 12 that has came to speak to us... it was freaking gnarly too!! He just spoke about Joseph Smith and about how bringing people unto
Christ will bless us and will make us not only better people, but
better FATHERS, HUSBANDS, PEOPLE!! Yeah its pretty steezyy! But he said
the funniest thing ever in it too ha ha he was like "I know sometimes
us General Authorities get up and speak at places and you think we are
just a bunch of old men, but we're pretty cool! We know what's going
on!" hahahahahah its much funnier if you were there! Just for him to say
that! Another cool thing he said too is he called him and the General Authorities "fellow" missionaries, because they are doing what we are
doing and bearing testimony all over the world! He said we are the
number one thing over anything else to the conversion though... us
missionaries... It was a really good talk and he brought such a great
spirit into the room! umm... yeah then after we watched The Testament
again, still a great show!
Then today I just got back from the
temple and AGAIN the spirit blew my mind away! Just sitting in the
chapel before the session I just closed my eyes and listened to the music
for like 15 minutes... AHHHH!!!!! Its so amazing to feel the
spirit this much in my life. I can't believe how much its really helping
me through this! Sometimes I wanna just give up, but I make it through the
next minute, then the next hour and finally the day is over and the lord
just blesses you that much more when you are climbing some small
mountains! I am so glad to be here... for sure! I miss you guys a ton,
but I know that everything will be fine and that the Lord will work
wonders for me being here!! The Spanish is coming along I guess ha ha I'm
not way good, but I'm starting to get a feel for it I feel like I can
understand a lot of what people are saying and I feel like I am answering
back with child like comments, but hey it's a start ha ha. I love you guys
a lot! I am getting on during laundry so write me back!!!!! Les Amo!!!
