Hey dearest family of mine!!!

This letter is gonna stink this week cause I am super short on time!!!!!!! First, thank you thank you to mom, g-ma, and Stephanie for dear elders and packages. They were fantastic! Second, I am doing more than awesome here! Every day here is pretty much my dream day! I cant think of anything that I would rather be doing! (well, maybe a ski day with Scotty would be cool, but I think you get the point;) This place is the best!

We got our new district this week.. its crazy to think that I'm not the newbie here now cause it feels like I just got here... They are all super tight! I love those elders and sisters! They are all the best!

One of the highlights this week was when our teacher had me practice teaching on him... not him pretending to be an investigator, but my teacher who knows the gospel better than me and speaks with a lot of power... the spirit is always so strong when he talks... this is kinda like me teaching pres G... just.... doesn't look to me like I'm gonna be able to teach him... but, being a missionary my purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ and everyone can come closer to Christ... and the spirit knows exactly what they need... So I started just by talking to him about his life and then the spirit came and showed me where to take the conversation. It was the coolest thing ever! I knew we were both feeling the spirit and at the end he said thank you and that he actually felt like I had inspired him to be better. It was the craziest thing ever! I know for a fact that I could never have taught him anything, but the spirit did, and it was way cool to watch the spirit work! Basically every day here is like having a buffet where all they serve is the spirit! And I love it!

My comps are total studs! I look up to them so much! I learn from them every single day! I feel like they are the best people ever!

Also, all the elders in my zone love you mom, and g-ma! haha, because we all enjoy the spoils and have super awesome good times!

We went to the temple and the dude was there again yelling at us that we were all going to hell. But this time we sang hymns as we walked past and it was awesome how he totally had no effect on us and we still felt the spirit! haha, sucka! fail! Yells all day at some 18 year olds... fails his purpose! haha. anyways... There is more awesomeness from this week, but I am outta time! I love you all so much! And I am doing super fantastic! I hope you are all having awesome times! Peace Out!
