Ok so Just a few things, I have No idea whats going on with my visa i find out for sure either tomorrow or on thursday after lunch, Right now its looking like temp-assignment, whuich is fine as long as i can leave the mtc to do it lol i may also have my permiso which would make me have to wait a week or two before going straight to mexico, there were a couple kids here going to mexico who waited for 3 and they left after being here for 12 weeks. that would suck! I am no longer district leader which basically just freed up my schedule to do a lot more studying on sundays. the last week i got to be a new missionary host and guess who i got to take away from his aunt and uncle, show him where his room was, and get him to his first district? Yep! Steven Anderson :) it was way cool, i also spent alot of time hanging out with Elder KEvin Anderson who was also a host. I get to host again tomorrow, other than that life is pretty normal for mtc normality, oh! we taught a trc investigator ( a volunteer to let missionaries practice on her.) We taught the 'situation' which was the second lesson, and the word of wisdom, it was a good lesson until we got to the word of wisdom. Then It just got awesome! The spirit got stronger and we started whipping out scriptures, questions, and testimonies about the word of wisdom. It was way cool and when we challenged her to live the word of wisdom she said si (she didn't speak any english) and she was about to cry. After we said the closing prayer she told us that the things we said to her weren't things her character needed to hear but things she needed to her in her own life, she is a member but struggles with the word of wisdom, and we helped her strengthen her resolve to quit drinking, it was a way suprising fact to find out and it made me feel grateful to be worthy to be the Lord's tool and The Spirit's mouth piece. I love the mission and i'm not even out yet, just from this expirience.
That sucks for olivia's hand hope it gets better, and i'm sure whoever you sell clancy too will be glad to have the help of a good horse, doesn't suprise me dad lost his glasses or that dillon thinks he is boss or that the dog barks lol oh and i didn't even know who was in the super bowl until one of the new missionaries in our zone who got here yesterday said that the packers won..... sorry todd. Anyway hope life continues to go good there and just remember what doesn't kill you wil only make you stronger.
Love,
~Elder Allenp.s thanks for addressing your letter :)
