This Week!

Mal. Its funny because I finally feel like I relate a little to your mission and your experience. at first there was just no comparing the two they were so different. But yeah so cool. 

Katie hahaha I can{t believe its so hot where you are. Wierd. And.... I want your address. Please. 

Dad. Yep can you believe it? A couple more weeks and I finish a year! Today in my email I had to fill out info so they can by my plane ticket home. WIERD.

Well. I always have a hard time of thinking of something to write. There is so much but I just feel like it takes forever to explain. We had an AWESOME training with Pres Wright this week for the whole mission, it was basically like zone conference but not because there are only 4 zone conferences a year so this was like an extra one just because. we learned about the powers of the atonement. What I love is learning about the poder fortalecedor or habilitador. In english that would be... the strengthening or... ability giving power? I don't know?? but yeah president talked about how soooo many prophets have said that the most important but least understood principle or concept of the gospel is the atonement. Its so true, I feel like most of the time in YW or in primary I just thought about how Christ died for me so i can repent, but what he did goes a whhhhhooooooolllllleee lot farther than that, so boys I want you guys to look up talks about the atonement and study them because it is sooooo cool. The atonement helps us to do things that wouldn{t be possible without it. So if you want to be better but you don{t feel like you are succeeding, if you want to do more but you just don{t know how, etc the atonement has the power to help us do and be more than we can possibly do or be on our own. (so some talks I love are "The Atonement and the Journey of Mortality" by Bednar or the one he gave last conference about the pick up truck. or there are 4 articles that Hugh Nibley wrote about the atonement a long time ago... mom and dad if you havent read those ones I think you might like them, if you have read them... its always good to read them again.) But yeah it is sooooo important for us to use the power of the atonement in our lives to serve better, do better, and become better. 

Investigator wise, we have a lot of investigators. They are AWESOME. They haven{t been progressing much but man are we trying! Ive really been trying to push myself to invite people to do things more, its so easy to invite people to do just the stuff thats easy but I{ve been trying to challenge people to exercise their faith a little more.... hopefully that will help! If you could PLEASE pray for Santiago and Sylvia, I hope they come to church this week (they said they would but like 3 percent of the people that say they will come actually do... thats why we need the prayers :) ) I am LOVING this sector and the chance that I have to serve here with my companion. what fun. 

Well I have to go now!! 

Love you all!
