Fua!

Hello there! Alright, just a few things to note for this week! First off, I had to give a talk (Short testimony really) on Sunday.  In the meeting, I was sitting in my pew, and it sounded like they said that I was going to be speaking.  I thought to myself "I must be interpreting that wrong". But as it went on, it became very apparent that I was in fact going to be saying a few words! Well, I went up there and gave a little talk on Faith.  It went decently well. 

In general here, some days are great, and others are just brutal.  Sometimes, the only thing keeping me walking is my Faith and Knowledge that this is where I need to be. Another great thing that I have to keep me going is my Companion Elder Cedeño! What a Capo! He´s still only speaking in Spanish to me, which is awesome! And sometimes, after a days work, we´ll make a smoothie and listen to some uplifting church or Disney or whatever music! 

It´s a bit difficult sometimes, because I know that this is what people need in their lives, and after some lessons, they give it up for other things in their life.  So, Elder Cedeño showed me this awesome video of a talk that Elder Holland gave.  In that, he pretty much said that Salvation isn´t cheap, and that as representatives of the Savior, "Why should it be easy for us, when it was NEVER easy for him?" So epic, and it reminds me to keep working hard, and find those that the Lord has prepared for us to find. 

Well, I want to thank you all again for your love and support, I´m a little pressed for time at the moment, so I won´t be able to respond to emails or upload pictures this week... Next week... 

Well, Hurrah for Israel!!!

Elder Holtry
