So recovery has been going pretty easy. I cant really do anything too exerting. I just walk to class and sit during gym time and take it real easy. I tried to just hit the ball to one of the elders in the district back and forth on an empty court like sort of practicing serving and the guy was like i dont know how i feel about you doing that with you just having surgery. It was lame.
The Spanish is coming super good though!! I could probably understand just about anything someone said. Talking back i can usually get my point across but it just takes a while to remember the words. They are super good at teaching here so you learn it so fast though. This week at our devotional we had 6 apostles there!!!! and all the new mission presidents!! My Stake president from my YSA stake at BYUI was there! i almost had forgotten that he was called to be a president of a mission. It was soooo goood. So Elders Nelson, Ballard, Oaks, Christoferson, Bednar, Anderson were all there!!! we got to hear from elder Christofferson and he gave a great talk about the worth of a soul. It was way good. Besides that we have just been trecking along learning spanish and how to teach!! Its crazy that today was my 3rd P-day already. Almost half way done with the MTC! I cant wait to actually feel the reward of baptizing and teaching real people here. The gospel is awesome and so simple. It really is alllll centered in Christ and beleiving and trusting and putting all our faith in him and his atonement and then acting on what we feel and know is right through the spirit. If you do those things, they will lead and guide you to do everything you need to do in your life to receive exaltation and eternal life. I have a firm testimony of it!!
I love you all and love hearing from everyone!!! If you ever want to write me where i will guaranteed read and be able to see it you can at DearElder.com or something like that. They come like same or next day and are super convenient.
Love,
Elder Marrott
