Wow, I can't believe the time has come and I'm leaving to Tuxtla on Monday. I'm probably going to be lost
for a week, or more, and I probably won't understand anyone for a while, but we
can all tell that it's definitely time for us to go out into the field.
It really stinks to say goodbye though. It's like leaving home again, but
it's going to happen every six weeks, so I better get used to it. We hope that
in two years we can all meet up again, but the part that stinks is that we're
probably never going to see our teachers again, and they've made some really
great impacts on us.
How was General Conference! It was a really cool experience in the MTC! It
was cool to have specific questions answered. I think my favorite session was
probably Sunday morning, I really
liked Brent H. Nielson's talk about the parable of the prodigal son. It's always
been one of my favorite parables. And of course I liked Elder Holland's talk
right after, he always reminds me of home. And he talked about Saint George and
rockclimbing, so how could I not love it! But I know that Christ does know each
of us personally, and that he knows what we are going to do and is there to help
us. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ, and that he would perform the Atonement
for each and every one of us so that we never have to be alone in our times of
pain, and so that we are able to repent and try to become like him and live with
our Heavenly Father again.
Earlier this week as a district we studied Ether 2. It is really a cool
chapter, and it's amazing how when you try to understand the verse itself you
can learn so much from it. We probably only read 5 or 6 verses but we talked
about it for over half an hour, I love our Book of Mormon study time. Something
that I really learned was that we need to trust in the Lord. When Heavenly
Father asks us to do something, he will provide a way. Sometimes we have to be
tested though and try to find that way by our own means. But as long as we do
our best, Heavenly Father will make up for the part that we fail to achieve, and
it's by the grace of the Atonement this is able to happen.
I love you all, and I'm really grateful for each and every one of you. Have
a great week!

Sunrise's are beautiful in the mornings. Plus the time changed this weekend so
we're up an hour earlier and actually get to enjoy them.
There's this little stone that we walk by every day, so we figured we should
take a picture with it.
