This week was another quick one... They seem to go faster every time. Last week I didn't transfer! I think internally I wanted to transfer but I am also kinda happy that I am staying. I guess my work is not yet done in la castellana! We have a lot of baptisms lined up for the next couple weeks too so it will be awesome to see their baptisms.. I also had exchanges with Elder Farner this week who is a 6 5" hilarious kid from Colorado. We had so much fun on our exchanges and got so much done! My Branch President went to Manilla for a month so we are lacking a lot of support in our Branch right now but we are making due with what we've got. I was also super inspired after general conference this week. A couple of my favorite talks were Elder Zwick in the saturday session and Elder Bednar in the sunday session. It's so true that our burdens give us traction! If life was easy and if we had no trials, we would never grow.. The weight is what helps us move forward. I find myself sometimes wishing that i didn't have to deal with a lot of the things that I have and will have to go through. But if I never had those experiences, I would still be the same kid that I was. I also love the never ending message that we have never gone to far that we cant come back and we should never say "that's just the way I am". We can always change. That is the reason that our savior suffered for our sins. So bad men can become good, and good men can become better. Until we all become the saints that we need to be. It was a great conference and I hope that you all take some time to go back over those talks and take them to heart. We all need a good pump up some times and our Prophets and apostles are great at pumping us up. I am ready to put it in 4 wheel dif and "till it" for the last 6 months of my mission! I don't know when my exact release date is but I am sure I will be home before Nov 13 unless President try's to extend me.. It would be cool to be home for kate's baptism though. We will just have to wait and see what goes down. The new car is looking sweet and I think you made a great choice on the infiniti.. I am glad that craig and andrew are getting big because I am gonna make them both look like clowns when I get home.. I might not leave the gym for the first couple months because I miss it so much. But unfortunately, I am needed here and I am not a quitter... I love you all and I hope I get some pictures and good emails from my busy brothers and sisters next week... Peace, love, happiness
