Hey Parents! How are you? I am doing good. This week was straight up amazing. Elder Bednar was so good, haha and no he didn't beast us. It was a lot different than i thought it was going to be. To start off he asked like 15 people what the questions of their souls were and then he just went through and answered all of them. It was way cool because he was asking questions the whole time and we could say stuff whenever we wanted, i was expecting it to be like one of his conference talks but it was really just a big discussion. I wish i could tell you all that i learned but i don't have nearly enough time. I think that one of the things that stuck out to me the most though was when someone asked him about how we can tell the difference between the spirit and our emotions. He talked about the scripture it moroni 7 that says that good thing comes from God and then he said just be a good boy and work hard and the spirit will guide you. That was really powerful for me because it's hard to tell if we are really following the spirit or not sometimes, especially when things aren't going our way. He also talked alot about faith that went along with his talk from this past conference. I can't really explain what he said in writing but yeah it was really good and i learned alot. On sunday we went to see him speak again with our ward when he spoke to the members but it ended up being kind of lame. There were so many people there that every single seat in the chaple and the over flow rooms were filled so we couldn't even listen to him. I was a little bit frustrated because it took the whole day to go up there and back but it was so cool to see how excited the members were to be there. There were soooo many people it blew my mind. I heard that he did the same thing in the members meeting though and he just answered their questions of the soul the whole time. It is amazing how powerfully and fluently he can speak off the top of his head like that. The only thing i heard about the members meeting was this, he said that when we say "amen" at the end of our prayers it isn't the ending of the prayer its the beginning because it is when we start to act. I have found that to be way true the last few months. I have learned that we can kneel and pray to recieve blessings all day long but Heavenly Father doesn't bless us until we get out and work for the blessings. Other then that my week went pretty good. We are still kind of having a hard time finding new investigators but we gave another one of our investigators a baptisimal date this week. It is to a girl named 소서노 ( so so no haha she has a funny name i know) and she is doing really good. We have only been meeting with her for a couple of weeks but she came to Elder Bednars meeting with us and felt the spirit so she wants to get baptized. When she came to church on sunday we introduced her to a girl that is her same age and they seemed to like each other so that is a really good sign, it always helps if people have a solid fellowshipper. Oh about that Mom you asked about how the ward does with fellowshipping and they do pretty good i guess, it has been a little bit hard because there aren't many college kids in our ward and that is all that we have been teaching. Sometimes it's a little frustrating trying to get members to help us out but its cool i guess. Haha if the missionaries brought an investigator to church in our home ward the members would swarm them but the culture here is definitely different. Transfers aren't until next week and i will know if i am staying or going on saturday night. I still want to go somewhere new pretty bad but it would be okay if i stayed because then i would be here for ê¹€ì •ìˆ˜ and 소서노's baptisms. In my inerview President Burton said i could transfer but i will just have to wait and see. Oh and about the whole emailing thing i am pretty sure i can't email anyone but family. I am going to ask President but i think it's 안ë¼ìš”. Well parents my time is about up so i am going to go. Hang in there with school Momma I'm sure it will get better, haha it doesn't suprise me that you are to nice though. I listened to Elder Ballard's talk from last conference this morning and it made me miss a ton you Mom. Thank you for all you do, your amazing. I love you and i will talk to you next week!
Love Elder Musso
