Letter #2

I miss you all so much!  I only get a half hour to email each Thursday.  so I again am writing faster than I can correct on the screen..

The sunsets are beautiful here.  I love watching the sun set as I sit in a class room learning such a difficult, but beautiful language.

The missionary work is progressing oh so boldly!  I am so lifted up in every class!  Every devotional is amazing beyond description.  Our MTC president is amazing with immense knowledge.  I am able to sit down with him and ask him questions and he just has the answers for them all!

My district is composed of 7 elders (me and my companion, another companion ship and a tri+panionship.) all of whom I came here with on the plane.  

Please thank Madge and Fred for the pen set they gave me... i have used them the whole time and love them

I am enjoying going to the temple in Spanish!  It is so beautiful not yesterday, but the Thursday before, I had been praying that Heavenly Father would send grandma great as an angel to protect and teach me.  As I waited for our session to start, I prayed that god would let me feel her presence stronger than imaginable.  Once in the celestial room, I could actually FEEL her arms around me... i have never before felt that before, never felt the physical influence of an unseen spirit.  It was beautiful.

I need some envelopes (3.5 * 5) and us stamps!!!! If you guys want mail.  I borrowed one set today and sent it via pouch, but borrowing will only go so far.  I can’t get us stamps here obviously.  I could however find envelopes.  So envelopes only if you are sending a package that has room... the stamps can be sent in pouch. (Just use an envelope or call church headquarters)

Prociliting was amazing!  I had one distinct act.  The Holy Ghost prepared one soul for my message, I was able to give him a book of Mormon, and teach him part of lesson one, and invite him to church the following day.  (By the way, on Sundays, we have a sacrament room in the ccm) so this man has started a change in his life.  I wrote more about the experience in a letter, you guys will get it soon.

I love listening to mom’s music!

I did buy a bible in Spanish from the distribution center here.  50 bucks or so.  Don’t worry about that charge on my card.

The MTC is like school except I’m learning the greatest subject on earth!!!! The gospel!!!

I play volleyball and basketball on my free times.
