Week Forty and a half: Bonus interview with President!

Man, its hot in here.. if only i had a fan..... oh wait, i have money

This week we took a missionary to the airport for medical complications and president took me with him and the other missionary. on the way back from the airport, i got a bonus mini interview! it was interesting to see how he isnt always serious and that he actually tells some jokes. Also, i think he thinks im in love with one of the sisters from my district in the mtc because i told him i was thinking about learning another language after the mission and he asked me which one and i said french. he asked me why and i said there was a sister from my district in the mtc who spoke french and in spanish when i said the language caught my attention, i didnt specify that it was the language that caught my attention, so when i said it caught my attention he thought i was talking about the sister haha. i realized that i didnt clarify it very well about 5 seconds after and said "THE LANGUAGE! THE LANGUAGE CAUGHT MY ATTENTION!" hahaha we started laughing and he said he thought i was talking about the sister haha. we also had a really good talk about my position and what my plans were for after the mission and it was really cool to have a conversation with someone so wise about what i want to do with my life. 

Elder Guillen was hot too....

We taught Andrea yesterday and it went really well! Right now she is living with here boyfriend who is an activating member, but they want to get married so we just have to get done and then teach her really well! we taught her about the book of mormon and temples. temples was kind of just talking about them after the lesson because someone mentioned something about temples and we felt like we needed to explain it, but it was good because we think it got them excited for her baptism and for them getting married! we are hoping that we can get her baptized within one month from today, but were going to see.

Challenge: After we taught Andrea about the book of mormon i realized (for the millionth time) how important the book of mormon is for us. the introduction says it was written specifically for us in these latter days (ok it doesnt say it exactly like that word for word, but you get the idea). The book of mormon is litterally Gods gift to us in these days. he knew what we would need and when we would need it, and He has provided everything for us in the book of mormon. whenever we need to feel His love, or find an answer to a big question, or when we need to strengthen our testimony (which is always) we have the book available to us! you can even download it on our phone! So the challenge is this: read the book of mormon every day this week. you dont have to read for an hour, you can read half of a chapter if thats all you have time for, but read it everyday! and even if you are already a member and have a testimony of its truth, kneel down before reading and ask to recieve an answer if its true or not, and then offer another kneeling prayer afterward and ask for the answer again, and i promise as a representative of Jesus Christ that you will recieve an answer that it is true if you have true intent in your heart.

I love you all! thank you for all your support!
