Familia!
How goes it?! thanks for the updates!
Sooo two more weeks. Wow! blows my mind. I only have two more times to write to you guys in this laundry room!
So basically, i'm starting to feel like you guys live in utah know with all these trips. So nuts. I guess any excuse to get out of Arizona summers right? Utah weather has been prime. Playing soccer and beach volleyball every day. kickin it in the sun.
Mom that is a great qoute. Pres. Monson said that (roughly qouted, its from a Talk by Elder Oaks titled "unselfish service" but i don't have on me) "You cannot really love the Lord until you serve him, by serving others". Serving others is the best. Seriously. We HAVE to serve. Charity is essential. Like it says in the new testament you can have faith and hope but they are nothing if you don't have charity.
And dad! I love that qoute too. Spencer W. Kimball said that "any excuse no matter how valid, ALWAYS weakens the character". We heard that in a devotional two weeks ago and i've been trying to work on that. No complaining, ha i'm sure its going to be a struggle with all the culture shocks and language barriers when i get to Colombia. BTW, i checked with the travel office, and they said i wont know about my passport until about five days before my departure date. I'm hoping it all works out! if it does that means im leaving in 16 days! party!
Thats cool that Pres. Hacking digs music. They tried to ban ipods here at the MTC but that lasted for about a week and then they let us have them again.
Life at the MTC is going well. Teaching in spanish - alot. Three times a week we have english fast, so we don't speak any english. Its coming along, still am horrible at it, but I'm trying not to be prideful by not getting frustrated with the language. It's so great to know, that i'll i have to do with this language, and all we have to do in life is just try our best and the Lord will provide.
So for our devotional this week we had Elder Groberg speak (he's the guy that that movie "other side of heaven" is about). It was sweet, he talked alot about service. He told this story about these missionaries in the arizona indian resv. and how they walked like three miles to this village and they people didn't want to here from them, on the way out they saw a broken wire in the fence (for there cattle). and one of them being from wyoming said that "i've been taught to never walk by a broken wire". They were far down the road so they didn't think anyone was watching, but one of the people from the village invited them back and then after a little bit the entire village as baptized. So great. I know that people are always watching the missionaries and so that is why it is so important to try your best to follow Christ and serve others.
Love you all. Miss you all.
La iglesia es verdadera!
