Showered with river water

Dear Family,

Thank you for your letters, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL AND SARAH!  That is crazy that Sarah is 16 years old, does she drive? 


The story by Hunter was really cool, those are some really powerful blessings. We give a lot of blessings in my mission.  

My companion is from Guatemala, he's a great example for me. We traveled quite a bit last week because we had to fix a few problems in the zone, but now everything is alright.  This week we traveled to David city, to have a conference with the mission President, well...He's really in the Panama City and we watched the conference via Skype. Even though the internet dropped a few times, it was really good. He talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and being obedient.  In the zone we made a goal to start reading the Book of Mormon every night with your companion. Since Wednesday my companion and I started reading and it's really helped us fill the Spirit.  Even though I've read the first chapters of Nephi many times there were many things I've learned.  The President talked a lot about the Spirit as well, so I studied more about the Spirit this week and now I understand the Spirit gives us confidence and makes us feel good about ourselves.  

Funny story: Today we didn't have running water in the house, but there is a little stream in our backyard, so we showered with stream/river water. We filled up a large tank and showered with it.

Thank you for everything.


I love you guys so much
