A Powerful Testimony

I'm so excited for Rachel she is gonna have a blast.  Well maybe after the first little bit of homesickness.  And she's going to the London mission so she will probably start using facebook right away.  I'm glad that at least you guys had fun in Utah.

I did remember one thing though.  All the people here point at things with their lips and I've picked up the habit.  In fact I have probably picked up a lot of weird habits that are gonna be weird when I get home.  Today we had a normal P day.  We got up in the morning did our studies and then played some ping pong.  We have a ping pong table in our condominium.  Then we cooked some macaroni and cheese, deliciousness.  Then we went to the church and played basketball and soccer.  Throughout the week we went around visiting people as normal.  We did find this one family.  The moms name is Nancy.  We taught them once last week and it went well and so she asked us if we could come back and teach the rest of her family.  We came back and taught them all.  Then I felt I should bear my testimony to them.  The spirit was incredibly strong and everyone was staring directly into my eyes, the kids stopped bickering and the daughter finally payed attention.  I felt as if I was completing my Patriarchal blessing by sounding as if I was shouting from the treetops.  It was an awesome experience and I'm definitely gonna try for more.  I now understand the power of a testimony.

Apart from teaching the people here I am learning from the mistakes that these people make, and I can really see that those who are keeping the commandments are so much happier than those who are doing whatever they want.

That's really all I can think of right now.

Until next week.

Love,
