9/6/16 Second week

Hey!

So this week was really cool! We went to the temple on thursday and it was about 30 minutes away. Even driving there it was kind of a culture shock of just how many people suffer and don't have anything. But everyone is so humble. The temple is really small but being there was such a great experience. I loved to be able to just sit and feel the spirit for a while. It is so cool that no matter what we are doing here, the Holy Ghost is with us. 

After the temple we convinced our teacher to take the 4 of us, (Me, Bozer, Heald, and Ondracek) to mcdonalds, and yeah, that was a huge blessing hahaha. But then that night because some companionships were struggling they did transfers. So my new companion is Elder Heald from kaysville and he is so awesome! We are so alike and jokesters and stuff I love it. But it is so cool when we teach it was the strongest spirit in a lesson I have had. We work really well together and I love to be able to rely on him. We have our own room in the basesment and man its the best haha. Last night I taught him how to yoyo and so any break we get thats what we do haha.

I have learned so much about the gospel its crazy. How everything fits i just think how could people not get baptized after hearing the first lesson. I am so excited to get to Cape town though, because it is sometimes hard to teach "investigators" that are just acting. Its hard to recall scriptures, but at times when we don't know just testify. Because even though people can bible bash, they can never argue with your testimony. so my best experience other than the temple, has just been when we are in a lesson and it is silent and all you can feel is the spirit. 

President Ashton read us the recap of the Byu game sunday night and I was chewing on a plastic cup that by the end of the game i was standing and the cup was shredded on the floor. Im so jealous you guys went. But now that confidence will help them to BEAT UTAH on saturday. GO COUGARS!!!! Its crazy that a year ago I could watch football all day, and now its the complete opposite. The days are longs,  but at the end you think wow that was fast. 

I am missing everyone so much and its great to get emails and to know whats going on. I can feel all of the support and I need it. 

My rash is completely gone tho!! It turned like all black the day after the doctor and then peeled over the next two days. But I am so glad it did it was awful hahah.

There is so much about the that we take for granted and we all need to know that God Loves us. Alma 32 is a great chapter on faith and we need to always know that there is hope. I Love you all!!
