Hey daddy!!
Good to hear Rusty's doing well :-) haha when I get back (if she's still running...) can I still take some spray paint to her? I think it'll really help her self esteem. That's really good to hear about Chris...I didn't know he got a Beemer!!!!! That's awesome. Is it an SUV? That's awesome. Send me some pics!! Haha These doorknobs are giving you a run for your money :-) Hope they work out eventually...And I'm pretty sure in ChaCha's mind it's been over for a while...but don't tell Marshall I said that...As for the ipad...I don't really know. I haven't ever tried the retina display... haha I miss technology... we do this thing called TRC, which is where members come in and the Missionaries teach them a quick lesson, sort of like what they do after we eat dinner. Anyways, we wanted to read a scripture during one, and we were about to hand one of them our scriptures, but before we could do that, they both whipped out their iphones. I was a little jealous. Haha But about the TRC, you should really come do it!! They always need volunteers. And you could come work on your french :-) I met some sisters here that are going to Paris, and they thought it was really cool that I had a dad that went there :-)
Anyways...the rest of my week has been good. Nothing too terribly exciting. But I'm really excited for Sunday. Apparently the whole MTC gets together for sacrament meeting and a whole bunch of General Authorities come. I'll have to let you know how it goes!! Spanish is going really well...I can pretty much understand everything that people are saying. Unless they have an accent. Then it's a little bit harder... Anyways...So another cool experience from TRC, we taught this guy that came all the way from Chile to visit for General Conference. He has a wife and 3 niños. Anyways, we were teaching about prayer, and we asked him if he had any significant experiences with it, and he told an amazing story. Apparently a few years ago he was pretty inactive and he and his wife were having difficulties and they were about to get divorced, but he decided to get on his knees and pray to see if there was something that he could do to change. Turns out there was, and so he literally changed his life from that one prayer. Him and his wife are better now, one year after this experience he became the bishop in his branch. Then, the really cool part was that at first, his branch only had like 40 members or something. But now, there´s over 300!!! Isn´t that crazy!!! So he´s here now to go to General Conference and then he's going to take back what he learned to his family and teach them and the rest of the congregation. Such a cool experience to get to meet him. I'm pretty sure I learned some much more from him about faith and the power of prayer than we were able to teach him.
Anyways, I'm running out of time, so I'll talk to you later. Love you papa!!!
