Sorry I don't have alyssa's email on me so i'll work on that next week. haha! it seems every email starts this way! but anyway great week. Got to hear from Elder Scott and Oaks! It was amazing! they were both so great! Scott's spoke more to me. My favorite quote he gave is " to reach something never before achieved one must do something never before done." O! and "Grace comes after we've done all we can possibly do." should of brought my notes to the computer lab! dang! He also testified about how our calls are from God. He then pointed at two missionaries in my zone and made a comment about Costa Rica. And sure enough those missionaries are headed to Costa Rica! I love this Church and the power God gives to these loving leaders! Elder Scott also bore his testimoney of Christ and this Church. While he was i was thinking "man could any other leader from another church give a testimoney like this!" they can't! it was so amazing. I huge day in my Mission experience. Oooo other learning experience. You guys will get a kick out of it. because school is coming to a close we get alot of subsitute teachers! its really frustrating cause you waist the morning getting to know them and then another hour finding out where we are at in the lessons. One day it really really bugged me! The teacher then began into the lesson of "the importance of the Spirit in teaching". I had heard this lesson three times now! I was so torcked! I was so sick of listening to the same speach! While I was throwing a little tissy fit in my mind the teacher then told us to start practice teaching. I turned to my "investigators" and began to teach. I couldn't! I couldn't find scrilptures, i couldn't think of things to say, i couldn't answer questions. It was awful! I took me having to listen to the lesson THREE TIMES to finally get it! It's such a good thing the Lord knows me and knows how dence i can be. :) A few days ago I taught the whole lesson of the restoration in spanish! SKIYA! Maybe this Spanish thing is possible :) O that's right! Elder Scott blessed us all ( as an apostle of the Lord) with the gift of tounges! It's amazing cuz its actually working! it is so much easier! I do my part at studying and the words just somehow stay in there! How's everyone doing? Shelby your in some tournament or something? Please right me. I can't respond to everyone so don't be offended but i'd really like to hear from people. Dad those pics are so cute! Briell has gotten big already! Thank you everyone for your letters! they mean alot! Love you all and miss you tons. Now back to work!
