This week has been great. On Tuesday elder Jensen came and spoke to the MTC because this group has the 1000th missionary to come through the MTC. It was a really neat talk, but only lasted a little more than 20 minutes because we then went to the temple. The temple here is great. The gardens are really beautiful. I took lots of pictures and will send them sometime. So that was a great experience.

This week we also started practicing teaching lessons. My companion and I did really good. We really had the spirit there in our lessons and got one of our mock investigators to cry. It was awesome. I can't wait to get out there and really start teaching people who really need to know the truth. It will be awesome.

Also, so all you basketball girls know, there is a basketball court outside of the MTC, and so far I am undefeated. An Elder from Madagascar, Elder Randrianandry, and I have not yet been beaten, and I have not yet been beaten in 21. So, I am representing :), and I hope all you springville girls are doing the same, or you had better be!

I don't have much more time, but I just want all of you to know that the gospel is true, and if you endure to the end, you will find happiness. I love the Lord, and love doing his work.
I love you all and miss you very much.
