week 2

 First off i was able to see chris chord that was SUPER AWESOME and guess what we had for dinner yesterday..... CHICKEN BROCOLI CASSORLE yeah buddy it was pretty good totally made my day, i'm waiting for it to show itself in the left over cart :P Also the 2nd week we got a package from the family of our coordinating sister who left to peru, it was really nice full of candy and such, I really loved hermana eddings, we were pretty much made to be best friends i miss her lots. I realized that i haven't told you much about our district, but we have 4 hermanas, 2 are from utah, hermana durte and hermana furst, and then my companion, whom i adore, Hermana Bahr is from iowa we are all around 21 then the elders we have 5 there is Elder Newman who is 25 he played football for the UofU and he is going to tampa (along with the 2 hermanas) then there is Elder Benke he is 20 and a recent convert he and the rest of the district are going to LA that includes my companion. then there is elder roberts, he is from oaklahoma, and elder cressmen utah, and elder lasukau who is from tonga, there are all super fun! I love my zone so much the elders klus, thomas, and mellen are probably my favorite people in the world:) they are all going to georgia and they leave in 2 weeks, then we have a group of elders who are leaving in 3 days i will miss them they are so much fun!!!! Richard G Scott came and talked with us on tuesday it was so amazing to have a catered talk from a prophet, he talked about how we should always have a pen and paper on us so we can write down the promptings of the spirit! he also told us that we could be focused on getting married as soon as we gett home :P This week i also went 24 hours only speaking spanish, it literally took me a minute to figure out how to say that in english :P ummmm.......... i have a list of scriptures that helped me this week and i'm assuming you are posting most of this email on my blog so i would like to challenge anyone who reads this to read the following scriptures and apply them to thier lives:

1 Nephi 1:20.... gods tender mercies

2 Nephi 32:9 remember to pray

1 Nephi 17:52 instead of how instruct me to build i ship, insert something you are stuggling with

D&C 122:7 everything happens to strengthen us

Ether 12:27 weakness to strengths!!!!

As i have struggled all of these scriptures have helped me a ton, and as i have focused on my investigators i have been led by the spirit to find scriptures that not only bless my life but bless theirs, its been hard because i have such a strong testimony of the gospel but sometimes i can't articulate that in english let alone spanish but as i share the scriptures i know that the spirit testifies to my investigaters!!!!!

I love you all!!!! The MTC although hard has been so amazing!!!!
