Hola familia!
First off, I hope everything went well in Lake Powell and you guys had a fun time. Mom it was good to hear about your bike ride it sounds like you dominated the road all the way to the elementary, next year you guys should do the 100 miler for the MS bike ride thing! Anyways its great to hear that everything is going good back at home. Here at the MTC the days are starting to fly by pretty fast. We stay pretty busy and have a lot more to learn but it is awesome here, the spirit is way strong. On monday our district set a goal to talk the whole day in español and it was pretty cool. My brain was feeling it by the end of the day because you have to think about everything you say and you cant just rattle stuff off, it was cool to see that we could do it. Also a hermana from the DR is in my zone and I have talked to her a little bit, she only speaks spanish so it makes it a little more difficult to understand but she seems way nice and she says all the people down there are very nice and humble, espicially the Haitains, so I can't wait to go and talk to those people down there.
Well Elder Beutler and Elder Buswell left on monday so I got to say bye to those boys. Then Elder Mckay came in yesterday and his classroom is right next to mine so i talk to him quite a bit. On Sunday we got a new Branch President, which is basically like getting a new mission president for your zone in the MTC. His name is presidente Tyler and he knows so much about scriptures. He will always walk past our class and just start talking to us and everytime he hears a word he relates it to scriptures. Seriously though, we gave him a handshake and he said do you know what a handshake signifies and he went off for 30 minutes about handshakes. It was interesting and really cool.
In the tuesday night devo Elder Claudio Zivic came and talked to us and I really liked what he said. The first thing he said was that we need to let the Savior be our best friend and love Him with all of our heart because the Savior knows everything that we go through and will go through. Also the quote that I really liked was "happiness depends on circumstances, joy depends on God." And it is so true, we can be happy because of circumstances and not have joy but if we give rely on the Lord and trust in Him then we can happiness and endless joy.
Well again everything is going great here we are basically half way done with our stay here at the CCM and the foods pretty good I think ive put on like 4 pounds. The waffles are no where close to as good as the Oat and Griddle but what is?? I love the Gospel it is so True and can bring us true joy and happiness, I love my Savior Jesus Christ and I am so thankful for all that he has done for me. Im so thankful for the Book of Mormon and for the spirit it brings into my life and for all the truth that is in it. I love you all.
Love Elder Wadman
