to all my friends

all of you! thank you for being my friends!

things are well. i´m still here in mexico. my companion is elder stevenson. i´m in the area nuevo linares. i´ve been here for a while, about 5 months.

just so you know where i´m at.

this week my glasses broke again! twice! i think the new frames that they got me are kind of cheapoes because they broke really quick. i´ve glued the big break and so i can wear them still. they work fine and i´m really grateful to have them.

the first time they broke i just adjusted them slightly and the lense broke out of the frame, i think that the guy who did the glasses really forced the lenses into the frame and it was a tight fit and so it broke easily, and the second time was on friday i think, and we got back to the house and i was like, i´m gonna eat a carrot. and i opened the fridge and boom! i smacked myself in the face with the fridge door! it wasn´t even that hard, but my glasses broke and fell on the ground. and i got pretty sad. i didn´t have glue at the time and i didn´t know what i could do. but later we did glue it and now everthing is A-OKAY.

right, so this week we had interviews with president. he interviews us once every cambio. President barret really is a good guy. he gives really good advice. i always feel edified after talking with him.

This week i´ve found a lot peace and power in the book of mormon. i love the book of mormon. the bible shares stories of the life of christ that are invaluable, but the book of mormon explains the doctrine of christ more fully and deeply than any other book of scripture. it teaches us how to repent, how to become truely converted, the meaning of our baptismal covenant, and how to really follow christ. i know that the book of mormon comes from God.
