Week 2

Hi everyone

I hope all is well.  I am loving it down here.  We have the coolest people here.  I love serving the Lord and meeting all the new people.  We have one family that was baptized right before I came that we are still working with and they are just so cool.  I have a lady that we are teaching that has been blind for 4 years.  She had a tumor removed and now she can see a little bit.  We gave her a Book of Mormon in Braille and she was so excited.  She has started to read it and there have been so many wonderful things happen.  I know it is because of the Lord. 

I don't like tracting.  It scares me.  My trainer is way cool about helping me and showing me the things I need to do better.  We live with a family so I have kids by me all the time and it has helped me not get homesick.  The sky is so big and clear.  The temperature is perfect in the 80s.  Ahhhh  it is awesome.  My comp and I love each other and she is teaching me a lot. 

Right before I left the MTC I was told there was an explosion in the church all around the church in the 60s and that it is going to happen again and that I am going to be one of those that helps make that happen.  In Alma 13:24 it says "and now, my bretheren, I wish from the inmost part of my heart, yea, with great anxiety even unto pain that ye would hearken unto my words and cast off your sin and not procastinate the day of your repentance." That is how I feel, great anxiety even unto pain.  I want everyone to know the truth that I have and how it can and has helped their lives.  I love it here and I know that the Lord has called me here for a reason and I can't wait to see why.

God Bless and lots of love,
