HI EVERYONE!!! everything is going great here. I had the chance to hear Elder Cook last night at the devotional. It was awesome. It was incredible to feel the power in his words as he testified of my Savior. My mind goes crazy when I think that he is an apostle of my Savior, and thinking that has a personal relationship with him who died and suffered for me. What a cool experience it was! The Spanish is starting to skyrocket. Now that i have basically all the principles down i am now just mastering it and developing a natural habit of speaking. Next week there will be no English in class and we will begin teaching the gospel in Spanish. I cannot explain how much easier it is to learn in the MTC than in school. The spirit is with us constantly and the Lord wants us to learn this the best we can. Teaching is also getting a lot better. We are trying our hardest to teach to the investigators needs and always have the spirit in our lessons. Though all of our lessons are fake investigators, i know the Lord is preparing me well. "I will only love the people as much as i love my companion. this is so true! In the beginning we were not really friends and weren't really comfortable with each other. now we are way tight, which allows the spirit to be united with us in our teaching. ADAM! i want my plane to get delayed so we can see each other at the MTC!!! THAT WOULD BE SO RAD!! Anyway, I've learned a lot and am sleeping really well. showers are always a race to get the "celestial shower" (the only warm shower), however my companion and i have found out that all the showers in the downstairs halls are warm. We are keeping that secret on the Down Low haha. Thanks for the package MOM!!!!!! you are the best!. I remember when Elder Cook's wife spoke i couldn't believe how much she reminded me of you. I love you so much! more than you will ever know. Dad, i see myself doing some of the same stuff you do. its weird!!!!! hahaha, just like when you are trying to focus on something, i do the same face motions and body positions you do.... kinda hard to explain but its weird haha. however i know that if i am doing anything similar to you, i must be doing something right. Tell ryken to write me!! Going on a mission does not mean i am dead. i wanna hear from all the Battlecreek boys. i printed off some pictures finally and ill send them off today to all y'all. ALLIE AND CHRIS!!!! THANKS FOR THE MUFFINS!!!!! They were the bomb dizzle dizzle hahaha. Why was your name spelled wrong on the box (Alisson). And your last name was Harris instead of McKeen... ARE YOU CRAAAAAAZY??? haha chiste.( i need your address btw) anyway i should get my flight plans to Phoenix in 2-3 weeks. its coming up waay quick. anyway... my BC Balla skillz are coming alive in basketball. Ive been playing a lot of it in gym. I have HUGE blisters from playing in vans. its fun showing up in my vans and soccer shorts when everyone else has BALLA shoes and BALLA shorts. you should see the look on their face when they see that i know how to play hahahah. Anyways, i am putting a lot of my efforts into strengthening my Christlike attributes and trying to be like Him. i must say i am "a wretched man". However i truly am trying. This gospel is real everyone. Miracles happen through the priesthood of God by healing the sick. The power is real, i have seen it and felt it and i cannot deny that power and evidence that i have been given through the power of God and Jesus Christ. I pray for you all every prayer, and have confidence that thew lord will shower blessings upon you if you humble yourselves before Him and see your weaknesses, and realize your nothingness. his grace will change you and strengthen you as you become humble before Him. Time is out. GOTTA GO!!!!! i love you all Write me!!!!! Elder kyle harris (MTC ADDRESS) box #228. PEACE OUT and show each other that you love each other, don't just say it do something... peace!! (If you could post this on the blog that would be great! And tell the family to read it! Love you!
