So 4th of July was super fun. We had a regular day like usual during the day. At night we went to the chapel here on the west campus and watched a broadcast from the main campus of a little 4th of July program. There were some freakin sick musicians who were missionaries with like the piano and organ and violins and everything. It was really fun. Then we heard from one of the secretaries from the MTC presidency.
We got to watch 17 miracles though!!! Its such a good movie. Levi Savage is a stud. So is that captain Willie guy who was a bit mean but a good guy none the less. Mom, we are related to the family from the pie story right? Super weird... God works in mysterious ways haha.
So I can't remember if i ever wrote about our "investigators" but the first one we had who ended up turning into our second teacher was called Diana. Anyways she is SUPPOSED to get baptized today!! Idk how that works!! haha I sort of hate this whole fake investigator scheme they got here but it is way better than us scaring off real ones with our horrible teaching/spanish haha.
I really have had some powerful lessons that were like directly lead by the spirit to talk about exactly what some people needed to hear. It's so cool. We study like all day and then have 2 different lessons on either Spanish or how to teach investigators or sometimes both! Well, always both, because our teachers all speak like 90% Spanish just to get it ingrained in our heads. Anyways we do all this everyday just to make those 20-40 minutes we teach each investigator worth it. The fruits of being a missionary are short but the sweetest. I just can't wait to get out in the field so its real!! haha.
I just want to take this time I have writing to thank everyone that has been writing me and praying for me and even thinking about me. I feel the power and protection that comes through being a missionary. God has called all worthy and willing men who hold the priesthood to serve missions. To be honest there were other things I could have done and went into this because I knew I was supposed to. God makes all his commandments worth it. There are no opportunities that I am missing out on back home with school or people or whatever that will not be more than made up for when I get back. 2 years is a long time but its only the start of the rest of my life living as a disciple of Christ through the teachings I am learning and teaching here.
If anyone wants to write me you can on DearElder.com. I love those, they're easy. I love you all!! God bless you.

P.S. I am going to try to attach some pictures today of just random things I've taken pictures of. Not the greatest but I'll maybe try to prepare to attach more next week.
(I didn't have wifi this weekend while I was in Idaho, so I had to drive to McDonalds and sit in their parking lot to send my email. Kendall got it while he was online, here is his second response. Glad I didn't miss him, he was kinda disappointed until it came.)
Sheesh I don't have much time to respond, but it sounds like you guys are doing great!!! I miss Idaho. It's so much better than Utah ha ha. Oh Provo...
All the districts coming into the MTC are FULL of youngens right out of High School. I'm not so sure I agree with the age change haha. Maybe for girls but some guys are just immature. I'm so glad I got to go to college and to be honest it seriously really helps you mature. I'm not perfect but some people just don't have patience!!
Tell everyone HI for me!!! I wish I could have been there in Idaho. I do appreciate your package!! It was super cool and I loved it. I will probably use it more in the field because we are super busy here and like all downtime goes into planning or studying or writing letters. I love you and I'm glad I got this before my time was up!!
