We love our Missionary

w We just love our boy. He is improving so much there at the CCM. Here are a few blurbs from his e-mail.

it was awesome this week! we had a devotional where an area 70 daniel johnson spoke and he asked us to pray to god to really know if he exists, and that he has a body, and that he knows that i exist and that he actually knows me and what i have been thru....and that he really loves me! i have never really done this before so i really tried this time, and immediately after i started praying i felt the most overwhelming feeling of love and compassion, such as i have never felt before! it was probably the most spiritual thing i have experienced at the CCM so far! and it was just cool cuz now i can actually say that i know these things are true and i know that my heavenly father loves me!

on to other things this week, for service our district cleaned the cafeteria, and i have mixed feelings about that cuz i actually saw where our food was being made and it was a kinda wiginasty (one of the many Albin-isms i have learned) Every body has been getting sick this week and it has been going around the district! i thinks a total of 6 people have gotten the bug, and guess who the carrier was... my compañero!!! i just want to say a shoutout to my dad for teaching me how to be a germa-phobic cuz i havent gotten sick yet!!! haha

haha During this week though we had our first TRC, where we actually taught real people who were investigators and less active members, and not just our teachers!!! it is so much more nerve racking when they are actual people that you could influence their lives with your broken spanish!!!! but it ended up being pretty good and i felt like we taught with the spirit, and said what they needed to hear!

and we also had another group of latinos leave us again today! so sad! we had a huge group of them in our dorms for their last night and we sang each other our national anthems and took pictures! its so funny cuz they know a little english and we know a little spanish so there is a language barrier but somehow we communicate and teach each other!! haha they call me taco! (cuz i tried a mexican taco instead of an american taco (trust me there is a huge difference!) and it was super good! it had chicken, pineapple and salsa thats it!) but i really am going to miss those guys! it kinda sucks cuz they are only here for 10 days and we are here for 6 weeks! But its only 3 weeks now and i am so excited!!! remember to always look to christ in everything you do! a scripture that helped me out a lot this week was Ether 2:24-25...it talks about how god gives us trials so that we can make it to the promised land! we will be pushed to the bottom of the sea but he will bring us back up! I love you guys so much and miss ya tons! i know this church is true and that jesus christ is our savior and that he loves us!
