"SO this week has been pretty sweet. Since the gym is closed we have to go
to the field every day for gym so all I have been doing is playing soccer,
hopefully my sets will still be in tact next week when it opens again. Anywho
cool quick story . It's the end of gym, Corner kick, I make eye contact with
who's kicking it and run he passes it right to me I go through two guys to get
the ball , quick touch, shoot and bam score right as they call gym time over.
WOOT WOOT it was pretty dang fun. So anywho that's pretty much all the normal
stuff that happened this week hahaha.

TRC is tonight and last week it was
really cool, I shared some personal stories about how I got responses to
questions through prayer and reading the scriptures and I could totally feel
the spirit. And this week we taught 2 guys together Esteban and Nate and they
are both catholic but one isn't really there with a testimony so we talked
about faith. Alma 32's experiment.
That lesson was nearly perfect ! I was so shocked because for once my words
came out quickly,fluidly, and it was just a totally rocking lesson. Thanking
Heavenly Father for that one because seriously without the spirit helping me
I'd be stuttering my words hahaha.
So this week we taught a guy from Ecuador
who moved to America
but left all he had family and land to come here and his wife had a really hard
time and they are going through a bunch of trials. Oh and we switched
companions for this so it was me and Elder Bever. So planning for the
lesson we thought of telling the story of Lehi and all their trials and
how he comforted his wife with his testimony and as long as they had faith that
Heavenly Father would deliver them they were able to overcome their trials.
Then we cam up with Mosiah 24:14 cuz that's personally given me a lot of
comfort in my life and yeah lesson went great! At the end I related as best I
could some trials going on in my life that through it made me gain my testimony
or strengthened it and I totally felt the spirit in the lesson and it was a
short lesson too like 10 minutes! Jeez loeeez life is awesome up here.
How's it
going for all of you guys ?! I hope you enjoyed the letters , sorry Kimber and Lance for not sending one to you guys ! What's your address ? Ummmm other news
I went to the temple today ! It's back up ! We stayed in the celestial room for
like an hour hahaha it was awesome.
Provo Temple
Hey guess what ! Dad your prayer is coming
true because I haven't felt homesick yet ! Oh and I finished 1 Nephi the other
day I decided this week that I was going to read the Book of Mormon start to
finish and try to finish before I leave the MTC , hopefully I can ! Oh my gosh
my teacher ran a marathon and we all guessed what his time would be, I guessed
3:05 and everyone else guessed lower. Anywho basically Murphy's law happened to
him and as he was flying down the course 6 miles in like 30 minutes I think he
said he started to get heat exhaustion from the weather and his feet felt on
fire. When he finished the race they looked at his feet and literally half of
his foot and up his heel was a blister on both feet and they had to scalpel it
of BLEK ! but yeah basically I guessed the right time. . . if you added two
more hours hahahaha old grandma's were passing him ! I love that guy OH don't
forget to send the sd ca5rds ! and Sally I believe i got you're letter Tuesday
and so you should send that birthday package now ;) thanks so much for the
other package ! You saved elder Willis's life he needed that box more than me
in class I'm all sorts of healthy, for the most part, now ! Oh awesome
devotional on pioneers but being a pioneer in your family and to others by
livning the gospel and no time but basically people are praying for you and
praying to find the truth- so don't be scared to share it !
BE BOLD !!!!!
