Hola Familia...

Hola,

Como estan? Muy bien aqui! Things are going great here. Can you believe it that it has already been 4 weeks. That is crazy it feels like it has all been one day. A lot has happened this week so i will try and get it all down in this email but i might now i have 20 minutes left so i will try.

First your email and letters. Thanks for all that you guys sent me in the package. I really needed shirts and stuff and the Dew is legit. Me and my companion got a fridge!! yes a fridge. We pulled some strings to get it but we got it and it is legit. So thanks for the package. As well mom you can send me another dose of that medication right now so that you don't have to send it to mexico in a month but whatever. Thanks for the package and the gel as well it is legit i love it.

Sounds like Katie is tearing it up on the volleyball court. Katie volleyball is voleibol in spanish just to let you know. but write on your ball "voleibol Techo" means volleyball stud. Or write it " Techo de Voleibol" Stud of volleyball. Keep tearing it up kate and keep working your hardest. There will always be the hazing cuz your a fresh but just remember that is becasue people are jealous. I tried so hard not to do it in high school but you think it is cool and i did it but it isn't cool becsause they benefit your team extremely so just show what you got on the court.

Tay thanks for the letter and for you playing the piano on the tape for me. It sounds like you are getting good and i'm excited to hear more. And wow 6th grade already geez you are the new most popular girl in the school i heard. That is awesome tay work hard!
Thanks for the advice about the tape. I think i am going to just do it on like wednesday or something i don't know yet i will decide soon but thanks for the words of caution. Cuz dad i know you are full of those. ha ha thanks!

Sounds like MC is going to be decent this year and it sounds like they will be better then we all think. I'm glad for them and yeah about dave i don't know what to say i guess that is how he is. But it sounds fun that you are taking stats ha ha not!

Now on to my week. So much has happened this week i don't know where to begin.

Spanish is coming more which is great. Our district plays this game called el nativo. Which is the native. We have to speak spanish all day except during gym and meals and it has helped a lot. It is a fun game and my team is losing.

Me and my comp had a chat this week which is through mormon.org and we talked to a lady that has been inactive and wants to get back into the church. We called back up on her on monday but she wasn't able to talk to her bishop so i shared my testimony and hopefully she gets back into the church. It is amazing how bad i want people to accept this gospel and it is amazing at how people are willing.

Me and my companion have gotten better at teaching the first lesson in spanish. Hopefully you got the tape that lex showed you of me teaching about joseph smith. It wasn't a lot but it was pretty good for 4 weeks i think. My teachers are so great and they have taught us a lot in the past four weeks and it has flown by. Brother gonzalaz is hilarious and we always laugh with him because he is an awesome chilean!

We got new Zone leaders this week and they are from our zone which no one saw coming. There was two zones above us and so we didn't see it coming. But they have been great. We get a new district today so that will be good and yeah. We also get a new district leader this week because it is half way so i will let you know who that is in my next week email.

Sunday we had our usual devotional and the guy that talked to us showed us almost all of the churchs commercials and it was one of the best talks that i have heard for awhile. It was funny as well as meaningful for my mission.

It was the best until yesterday night. We had the great privaledge to hear from Elder Richard G. Scott. Yes on the the 12. It was soooooo amazing and it taught me so much. He started off with a special blessing on us. Which he can do because he is an apostle and he blessed us with the gift of tongues so yeah im not worried about spanish anymore and i know i still have to do my part but wow that was amazing. As well as that blessing he blessed us with protection if we follow the spirit so taht was great and he emphasized it to the sisters but as well as to us. The thing that hit me the most was at the end of his talk he said "I know Jesus Christ lives, because i KNOW him" That was one the most powerful things i have ever heard and it strengthened my testimony a ton. He said it about 5 times and wow the spirit was amazing in that meeting.

I also went to the temple dedication on sunday at 3 and it was as well amazing. Us singing the last song was so powerful and brought tears to my eyes and strengthened my testimony about this church even more. This church is so true and it is amazing. The main thing of this church is the Atonement and i am so excited to share this message with the world.

Im thankful that you guys are keeping lexie in your lives i know she needs it dearly and it helps her not be so lonely so thank you. Keep it up!

I think that is all i have to say. Thank you for the letters and the emails. I did get the letters about butchs house this week. How is that going? they redoing it yet? so ya i got those letters and i felt bad for the guy.

Other than that how is everyone? how is the house? katie my iphone eh? i didn't think so? i'll think about it and let you know if you can use it? I love getting tapes because it feels like i am at home so that is great thanks for that. Other then that just fill me in about what will happen in this next week and i will report on my week next week as well.

This gospel is SO TRUE!!

I love you all and miss you as well. But i am loving it here and am loving my district a ton and it is going great. Love you all a whole lot! and i have been blessed with such a great family to support me! Love you!

Love,

Elder Harvey
