Taylor Schmidt is here. i saw him at a devotional. we talked for a bit. i have pics. and i saw a buddy that i havent seen since 8th grade. hayden garfield. he is in my zone. just came this past wednesday. look him up in the kearns yearbook. and chance larsen. it was nates buddy august larsens little brother. and just some kids from vernal that i went to school with and went to school with at bingham too. know alot of familiar faces here. i sprained my ankle playing ball. and got a huge blister. my shoes suck. we had TRC last friday. lesson 1 all in spanish. we had a girl from uraguay that was our investigator. she had a heavy argentin accent. i dont like the argentin accent. it sound wierd. the ll sound like a sh. its dumb. then jiffys sent $20 to me :). our roomates are the bomb. they are so funny!!!! Elder Dickinson and Elder Davies. they are from idaho and texas going to idaho and Iowa. Elder dickinson is going to de moines spanish speaking. i told him about hayden. and the elders in there district are so tight with me. we are best buds. tomorrow, thursday is solo espanol. all spanish all day. no english. wish me luck. played ball with our zone. i am way close will all the guys in our zone. we are like best buds. they all like basketball. this elder in our district was wearing some glasses that looked like gordon b hinkley glasses so i call him G.B Hinks. hahahaha elder johanson is the bomb. love him. ill send pics. SO MOM GUESS WHAT!!!! do you know a janice manwaring brady? i met her husband last night. found out we are related. he is our roomates branch counciler. so we are related by uncle vernon? i think.
 
to answer your questions.
i did check with the buddies from heber. they dont know them. the mtc picture might be posted? maybe. idk where. our investigators are our teachers names Ramon and Patricia. its our teacher hermana ortega and hermano harvey. he loves me. we are best buds. yes a new district means new elders. we got some last week and get more next week. Can i get a picture of kayla? tell nate its awesome he is going to st george. i told him to go. we finally got to go to the temple today. it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome. the provo temple is so pretty. i loved it. Go to the temple as often as you can. i regret not going. you find answers to questions. it works. the first couple weeks it was closed so we got to go today. the first few days were hard just cause my other life was so comfortable but now i am comfortable in this new life. i feel the spirit so much! i love the mtc. i love my investigators and the opportunity i have to learn a foreign language. i thought i knew spanish but the mtc puts it into perspective. i dont know anything. but i am learning so much and i know it it the gift of tounges. no doubt. but i need to work harder at it to get it down. we teach the 2nd lesson tonight to Ramon. mind you these are all in spanish. ya its not easy. but im glad i study cause when i need the words. they come to me. its the spirit. and i can now look the investigator in the eye and bear testimony. its so sweet. thank you family for all your prayers. they mean the world to me and make it so i can survive each day when i really need them.
 
The church is true.
