Hola Homies

awesome awesome week this week. time flies here like youd never believe! gosh i never know where to start. first of all mom i need to thank you for those family pictures. i havent yet and im sorry but those have been so awesome. i love thinking about each and every one of you. i love and miss all of you so very much. its also been super nice to show others, i brag about my family all the time haha. so thank you for the pictures mama. this week was a little bit worse diabetes. in class the other day i dropped to 35 which is an all time low for me. it was weird because i didnt really feel that bad either. but its all good. so today we got to go to the temple and visitor center. soooooo awesome! the temple is closed so we didnt get to go inside. but the visitors center was awesome. the coolest part was just getting outside of the ccm walls. the city is super cool. i got a few good pictures of them though sorry. i was scared they were going to shoot me haha. so being outside the walls was fun for a little bit, but i really do appreciate this campus even more now. i felt so safe the minute we got back in the walls. this place is just blessed and you constantly have the spirit with you. i had the opportunity to give another blessing this week. one of the hermanas in my district has been feeling sick and she asked me to give her a blessing. you just cant go wrong when it comes to blessings they are so incredible. testimony builder ever single time. so yesterday we got a new district in our zone. so i am officially a father now. thats what they call it haha. and we had some babies haha. they seem really cool so far. they are pretty much older than me though so its kind of different situation. one of the elders is 25. and he is awesome. i dont feel right leading him haha. ill probably be the one going to him for questions and advice. but its cool to finally be a real zone leader. mom before i forget can you pretty please tell me how much money i have on my card. that would be awesome to know. and did you ever figure out of it charges me extra here? thanks. so things are really good. still struggling with the language, as expected. still very discouraging at times but im having fun. oh yeah i cant forget about TRC. so for trc this week our teacher brought his friend and he is a straight up real investigator. straight up real. and he wanted us to teach him. ok so he already has a baptismal date for the end of the month. haha but he is real. so we asked him what he wanted to talk abot or if he was scared about anything and he talked to us about his parents. either they are already divorced or they are getting divorced and he was having a hard time with that. i immediately thought about the holy ghost, i dont know why i went there but i did. i dont know enough spanish to really help him with his problem ya know? maybe you dont but anyways. i pulled out a sweet scripture about the confort and the help of the holy ghost and had him read it. the spirit was awesome and after the lesson he wanted the scripture. he told us that he felt a lot better. and that was super awesome to me. he wasnt fake he was straight up real and that was super fun for me and my companion. i love you all so so super so super much and i think about you everyday. i couldnt have gotten any luckier when it comes to family. stay close to the lord and everything will turn out just fine. and dont forget to tell steele and cal that i love them. live life to the fullest my friends:)
