Hola familia en el mundo afuera!! (Translation from Shelly via Google translate: "Hello family in the world outside!!)
Thanks for the package i got it today, tell sister pocock thanks for the dictionary, it will come in handy!! Dad the envelope i sent had your oil vial in it, it probably didn't fit through the mail machines, and thatnks for the foot powder, something about the food here really just isn't good!! it makes your face break out, ghives you bad gas and smelly feet idk what it is but its crazy!! Did dillon get the coat i sent? this past couple P-days we did sealings in the temple which was an amazing expirience!! i really enjoy doing it!! Its crazy to think i've been gone for a little over a month, it feels like yesterday we were taking pictures on a hay bale, which thanks a ton for those pictures btw! and the food too, something about feeling the spirit all day makes a missionary hungry. Mom, if you could send me everyones address's and Brother Jones address too i lost it....idk how....... anyway thanks for the writing pads too. i've been writing a ton here in the mtc and i'm sure i'll use all of them. oh and what is the blog address so i can give it to my roommates who's mothers may want to check it out? anyway I do have my camera cord so the one you found must be dillon's. But the last week has been intense. the mtc mission presidency changed out and Elder Holland came and talked to us for that. I've never heard a more powerful speaker, after he left all 2,000 missionaries stood quietly and unmoving for five minutes after he left, the spirit was so intensely strong, I would like too see you get a bunch of 19 year old young men and 21 year old young women to stand that quiet and that still for that long on their own accord with out the spirit there, you couldn't do it, someone would always talk. It was very powerful he talked about preparing to be a good effective missionary, staying true after the mission and moving the gospel from our minds to our hearts. by far the best firside i've had in the mtc. Spanish i coming along nicely,we speak it 24/5 we get p-day and sunday to speak english, but we speak it 100% the rest of the time, you know you're doing alright with the language when you can have an arguement in it hahaha anyway my companion got his visa to Bolivia so he will be leaving to the peru MTC on the 26th of january. I'll be put into a trio with Elder Marsh and Elder Hansen I suspect, and that will last about 2 weeks, i'm really excited to get out into the mission field, and the visa process has picked up quite alot. the group leaving next monday ( those going to mexico) had to stay an extra week in the MTC but they are going straight to the field in there respective missions and none have been reassigned, which bodes well for us.
Yo se que este iglesia es la iglesia verdadera en el tierra hoy, y que José Smith fue el primero profeta en este dispensación, el dispesación de cuplimiento del tiempo. Yo se que Jesucristo es nuestro salvador, y con oracción, y fe en el, con todo que hacemos, es possible por nosotros haremos todo que Díos mandató. Y yo se que sin el evangelio restaurado nosotoros no se puedemos regresar a Díos. Y yo se que sin la ayuda del espirítu santo yo no puede aprender español este pronto. Tambien yo se que cuando usamos nuestros voluntad por buenas cosas en nuestras vidas, los angeles canta muy fuerte para nosotros. En el nombre de Jesucristo ámen.
(I know this church is the true church on earth today, and that Joseph Smith was the first prophet in this dispensation, the dispensation of cuplimiento time. I know that Jesus Christ is our savior, and with prayer, and faith in, all we do is possible and we will do everything that God gave a mandate. And I know that without the gospel nosotoros can not be restored back to God. And I know without the help of the Holy Spirit I can not learn Spanish this soon. I also know that when we use our desire for good things in our lives, the angels sing very strong for us. In Jesus name Amen. Note from Shelly: the spanish words must be spelled wrong and the translater could not translate. do your best guess ;) )
From the MTC With Love,
