letter #3

So guess what?! 4 weeks in a row is pretty much a record for apostles in a row here. Last night with Elder Bednar was absolutely Amazing! I've sang in the choir with my companion the last two weeks. You know I'm not a big singer, but It saves me a spot. :D You might be able to get online and watch the video from it. 11/9/10 MTC devotional with Elder Bednar. He's Awesome. His wife spoke to us for a few minutes as well in the beginning. She's hilariously sweet!. She only embarrassed Her husband enough so his face would turn bright red. He talked about the difference between Doctrines, somethings, and Applications. (mind blank.). But It was amazing. We learned a new approach to teaching and answering questions. The Spirit is always so strong when they come. (Well, you know what I mean, there is no absence of The spirit here, Just different degrees of it at different times.) The Language is still hard, but its improving. (I hope :P) I love my district. And my companion. We're able to work things out if there's ever anything wrong. I know that This is exactly where I'm supposed to be at this time in my life. Everyday as I study Preach my gospel and look up doctrines in my Scriptures to help teach and invite the spirit, I am learning so much and strengthening my own Testimony and increasing knowledge continually. At the beginning of every class we start out with a scripture thought, which helps invite the spirit to help us learn and understand. I'm super excited for when I finally have to be home, that I will be able to speak dutch. I likely won't know anyone else who speaks it, but Its different. That's good. :) Hmm. I always have a lot to say, but once I get here on the compute it all disappears. I'm sending a box with a few things i don't need, including Thank You cards, a much more detailed letter, (the one from last week as well.) Its just super hard to find time to do anything here. and there are also a few other letters you can hand out to people. I got the DE's from David and Patrice, and Family. Tell Patrice I can't look at the blog. Not allowed, and tell David He's awesome! I'm sorry I can't communicate more here in my email, or communicate faster, but It'll come. When I'm out in the field, I'll have an hour of email rather than just half hour. And hopefully breathing time to write an outline so I don't just ramble. Miss you all Love you Much! Give Astin and the girls hugs for me. And I wish I could give you hugs myself. Always love to hear from you. :D
