WEEK 2!!!!! Surprise visit from one of the Apostles

Well this week was so awesome!!!!!!! Having our first sunday was so cool! Most of it is in spanish which is awesome! I loved it! Monday was pretty much a normal day here! Lots of class and lots of spanish! Nothing crazy!
Tuesday was when the week got amazing!!! It started out with a service project for our district which was cleaning up another building at 6:25 in the morning... Im pretty sure thats against the rules to make Elders wake up before 6:30 but i guess they dont care here in the MTC. Hahaha im just kidding it was actually awesome! It started the day off perfectly! Then we had a lesson with Cesar, our investigator ( or so we thought ) It went super well! We always felt the spirit and he understood us really well which is crazy because our spanish is just mediocre.  But the best part started with choir!! We learned this awesome song that really brought the spirit and sounded amazing! We didnt know this at the time but we were learning this for a very important reason!! We are waiting for the devotional to start, because this is when we perform the song, and all of a sudden ELDER HOLLAND walks in!!!! It was soooooo cool!! I love him so much!! We performed the song for him and he loved it! He then spoke for an hour! His message was awesome!!! A few great points that he made were how the Book of Mormon is the best way for conversion! If you dont have the strongest testimony or you just want a strong one, READ the Book of Mormon! It is so true! I love it! He also said some awesome things about the savior and his atonement! He said that a lot of missionaries get discouraged when something goes wrong in their mission. But what we have to know that our mission is not meant to be easy! The saviors life was everything except easy. We should not expect our life to be easy! What we should know is that when we are experiencing hard times, we always have someone that knows exactly what we are going through! Jesus Christ is always someone you can turn to!
 The rest of the week was pretty much the same day after day! Lots of class and lots of Spanish haha! I did get to give Elder Hansen a blessing for comfort this week tho so it was super awesome! The spirit was so strong and I have a strong testimony of blessing now! 
On friday we found out that our investigator, Cesar, is not actually a investigator.... he is our teacher hermano Ah Su.... our whole district was shocked.... we were a little disapointed because he agreed to baptism hahahah! We are so naive lol! He is super awesome tho! I love him a lot!

One thing I want to leave you all with that is super important is what Elder Holland said. Be the best YOU, you can be. Dont try to be someone else because of what others think! The best way to convert people is first become friends with them by being your self!
I love you all and hope all your weeks are great! Have a Merry Christmas seasons!


P.S. I will send pictures on a different email!
