Great to hear from Elder V

Hey Family Friends loved ones everyone.

Everything in the MTC is well!

Sunday we had fast sunday so we had our 2 hr mission conference in the morning. That was a good meeting. Then we went back to class and studied mas. Pres. Bullock in the branch presidency had each companionship teach him the first lesson.The Joseph Smith first vision part. The spirit will never miss that opportunity to bear witness of Joseph Smith, and that he truly did see God the Father, and His Son Jesus Christ. I know he did. There is so much power when you say Joseph's words. "Este es mi hijo, Amado, Escuchalo!" Thats the end. Then we had sacrament. Another good testimony meeting. Sunday night we got to hear Stephen B. ALlen speak. Head of Missionary Dept. in SLC. Something I liked he said, serve with all your might, that when your mission is over, you can have the spirit and Lord testify saying to you, "Well done, my good and faithful servant.." I hope I will serve in that way and fulfull the Lords will for me.

Friday was the TRC. Probably my favorite when we teach the volunteer member. The 2 we taught were natives from Mexico again. A lot it is hard to understand. But the spirit is there. One of the guys we taught was a stake pres. in Mexico. Such a strong spirit.

Tuesday, we had devotional. Elder Don Clarke from the seventy. He expressed about having a love for the people. After each devotional there is a branch testimony and review. I talked about how lucky we are to be albe to see how well have a front row seat to seeing how the gospel changes lives! Love the people! I am sooo excited! Get my travel plans in like a week from today.! Stoked! Stoked for Confereence!

Wednesday, we had class all day! 6 hrs of class back to back. But it was good! Enjoyed it! Love it! MTC is awesome! Can't wait to tget to the great land of Paraguay and have people speaking Jopara! The mix of spanish and Gurani.

 Again love to hear how things are going! Thanks for all you do and the support you all give me everyday! In the strength of the Lord I can do all things! Your prayers are always appreciated and your all in mine as well!! Gracias
