Hola! Buenos Dias!
This has been quite the busy week! But hey, what's new, right? It was super cool - this last week we had a ton of mission presidents here and a bunch of general authorities! There was well over a hundred new mission presidents all here for like 5 days. And we had an awesome special devotional on Friday by Dallin H. Oaks, heavily filled with doctrine and we were amazed that in the course of talk he ultimately covered all 5 discussions. There were 9 of the 12 apostles there - Dallin H. Oaks obviously, Richard G. Scott, David A. Bednar, Neil L. Anderson, and M. Russell Ballard. It was an amazing talk and he talked about how we are set apart from other churches. We have the fullness of the gospel, the power of the priesthood, and a unique testimony of Jesus Christ. I thought it was amazing because it shows that we really are different from other churches for a reason and we need to share that with everyone.
And then it was really sweet afterwards because I got to meet my new mission president! His name is Pres Howes, and he and his wife were super nice, friendly, and eager. He was sure he was already more excited than use to get out of the MTC and do work out in AZ! We said we don't know if he could possibly be more excited than us. He seemed to really like us and we talked about wrestling and high expectations. Tempe AZ is a baptizing mission and the members there really help in the work. We are all learning so much and doing awesome.
I'm doing great and every day I'm so much stronger in my convictions! I learn and grow every single day and I'm loving it!
Hasta luego!!
