Favorite Scripture

And now that my soul might have joy in you, and that my heart might leave this world with gladness because of you, that I might not be brought down with grief and sorrow to the grave, arise from the dust, my sons, and be men, and be determined in one mind and in one heart, united in all things, that ye may not come down into captivity. 2 Nephi 1:21

I Blessed The Sacrament

Alright so The Gospel is true, and I hope everyone knows that!! So I'm struggling way bad with the language right now, it feels like I'm in first grade again trying to read, but everyone else in my district is speaking like they've spoke Spanish there whole lives.  But I've been praying like crazy asking the Lord to help me and give me the gift of tongues, and some days it feels like he hates me because I can't speak a word but then some days its like I'm his favorite and that's all I do speak!!  Sunday was probably the best day since I've been here, I blessed the sacrament for the first time in my life and if that's not cool enough I had to do it in Spanish, which was pretty much the scariest thing that I have had to do. But don't worry, I didn't mess up!!  Personally I think it was better then the other elders prayer that's been here for 3 weeks.

We had a devotional where brother Heaton spoke to us about missionary work.  It was really a good talk, the main thing that stuck out to me, was that we usually think that as missionaries we are looking for the lost people of Israel and in some cases its true but the way he put it it wasn't.  The people aren't lost at all, actually we as missionaries are the ones that are lost God knows exactly where his people are and it is up to us to find them, were the ones looking for them so we wont be lost anymore!!  Things don't just happen, If we find someone to share the gospel with it didn't have anything to do with us, God mad it happen, the way he shared it was just amazing!!

I have seen pretty much everyone here its like every other elder or sister I see is from LP or somewhere its crazy how many there are.  My companion is pretty cool!! We've been getting along so far, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it 6 weeks, like there are some parts of the day that I just want to be alone and hear my own thoughts!! I know that's kind of selfish but serious there are times I want to be alone so I just go sit on the pot and act like I'm you know.. But my district is pretty cool but my zone is not.. I don;t think I've done one thing right since I got here, there always telling me how Im not doing this right or that and just talking down to me like there so much better then me. We have 4 sisters that are here and you can just tell that there 19, by how they act there so immature and all they do is try an flirt with the elders.. its so annoying!!  But I'll make it through hopefully.
   Oh and another bad thing about this place is there aren't that many cute girls here, and its probably the lord just making me think that, but it would probably make it a lot better if there was! It would make me feel a lot more comfortable!! Do we know any Melville's from Filmore?  My district leader is from there and he knows like Uncle Randy and everyone!! So its pretty cool to talk to him about down there!! So my new favorite movie is the Testament!! I know we have watched it before but we watched it last night and it was the most amazing thing ever the spirit was so strong and I actually got hella emotional and started to cry and the end. I don't know what to say it was just so amazing!! Mom I just want you to know that I did join the choir and I hope your happy about that!! My comp is a musical freak that's all he does piano violin sing everything so all we do is sing all day.  And with my voice you get probably guess how much people love me doing that!!  So ya loving it here for the most part!! the gospel is true but I can't wait to get down to Mexico the church is true!! Sorry if this email isn't as good as Braids he set the bar freaking high, so I'm trying my best!!! Clear eyes, Full hearts, Can't Lose!!!
