Hola!

What a week! So we get lots of good speakers, but we've all been holding out for an apostle since they haven't had one here since December. This week's devotional we didn't get an apostle, but it was still amazing anyway. We had Bruce C. Hafen talk about testimonies and it was one of the better talks I've heard in quite a while. Some cool things he said: You can have eternal life if you want it, so long as you don't want something else more. He also talked a ton about testimonies and how they are built on three legs: Reason, Spiritual Feeling, and Experience. That happened on Tuesday night, which was a great start to the week. We had our English fast on Wednesday, which was actually a really good learning opportunity. The rest of last week we spent preparing to teach our (fake) investigator in the TRC (Teaching Recource Center? I think..) for the first time in Spanish, and it went super great! We spent a whole hour talking nothing but Spanish to this lady answering her questions and teaching her about Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End. On Sunday I finally ran into Sister Stoehr!! That was fun seeing her and we got a picture up at the temple I'll send later. She is doing great and leaves in a week! It's crazy how fast the time passes, I've already been here for a month and just have one more month to go! Anyway, life here is great. I love being able to learn about the gospel all day every day, and the time is always slipping away. I always end each day feeling like I never have enough time to study all the things I want to.

Anyway, as always, the time is short. Remember: The book is blue, the church is true: Go Cougars!!!!
