Week 4, Sept 4

Short email this week. The P-Day activity is either a one hour ride to a bowling alley or soccer here… So I can write a snail-mail letter and get more info to you guys. Also because this ordenador was muuuuy lento and I just barely started. I guess you´ll hear about week five in 12 days haha! I had a couple questions and a spiritual thought.

Charles: THANKS FOR THE LETTER!!!! It made me really excited to hear from you, buddy, because that was a hard day. I had to deal with a few district leaders who were being sub-par examples for their districts…. Not fun. But your letter made the whole day better!

Squid: How is school, now that you´re the oldest Maxfield at Cottonwood??

Emma: Tell me everything about jr. High. How go the class changes and having a locker?

Maren: Likewise – Everything you can about high school. And nearly killing Dad in the car.

Mom: You haven´t cleaned out my room yet, have you?

Dad: See your email.

Spiritual thought – My MTC president. The guy is so unbelievably awesome. Since I´m a ZL, I get to work with him more than most, and he is really cool. Quotes:

“Don´t be talking about goofy things. (referring to spirits/Satan) You´ll feel something, and it won´t be the spirit.”

“We practice consecrations on that oil, so it´s been consecrated half a dozen times… It could be really good ori t could be REALLY goofy.”

“BYU is a goofy place”  Dad will understand.

“I don´t know. But I do know this .. . . Is the best way to answer goofy questions about things like polygamy and Satan´s body temperature”

He also likes to talk with me – about Elders that might need help, things I can do to work harder, and answer my doctrinal questions – like where Alma´s priesthood authority came from, since nobody put their hands on his head and gave him the priesthood. He is such a cool guy with a powerful testimony, a love of the góspel, and a willingness to help everyone. He reminds me of my Grandpas. He shared a scripture with us, Mosiah 2:18-19 in one of our leadership conferences.  He then compared the scripture to Christ being our King… Very powerful.

And that´s my time. Next week will be my last P-Day in the MTC, so I can take pictures and send them to you via dropbox or email.

I love you all!!
