What an amazing amazing week this has been. super spiritual and have learned so much. Elder Crayton has opened up to me and told me alot alot about his life. Hands down the coolest conversion story i've ever heard! ever! My goodness he's already a successful missionary because he has brought me closer to Christ. there is no way this church isn't true! now i just put my head down and plow into this thing! Yup leave on monday. six in the morning. so so excited. it's going to be so much fun! Today i just met someone from Santiago! he told me how beautiful Concepcion is! I'm pumped and ready to go. There was a talk given in sacrament about marathon's. and it got me thinkin' HOLY CRAP! mom 26 miles is forever! i can't believe you actually did it and got good time on it too! That's a beautiful personal experience that you can relate to the gosple. so mom and all you marathon runners use that oppurtunity in your talks or whatever. i don't know it just really brought the Spirit. Dad to find "investigators" to pretend teach on we go to something called "one in 8 million" its incredible. New York time fines some random person and gives a quick clip about their lives. People are incredible and come from so many different stories. Ugh i can't explain this feeling i have. Its like i'm a little kid again. that little kid that was inoccent and doing his very best to understand the gosple. that little kid i've been striving so hard to find. back home i was like ugh i wish i could go back in time and do this all over again and don't make those stupid mistakes. Here is where that happened! Yeah not explaining it well and now i'm just frustrated. haha the point is through Christ all is forgiven and all is forgotten. we bring up our mistakes too many times. don't talk and think about them and just keep going. one of my maestros said "When satan reminds you of your past, remind satan of your future." start right now. now's the day to put it all behind and be that better person your always wishing you would be. love you all and miss you tons and the next one will be from CHILE!
