OFF TO BARCELONA!
Well nothing much has really happened. But I had a few good spiritual moments with all the guys. Elder Harrop, Elder Landinez, and Elder Dougher. Every night we just stay up and share the most spiritual moments that we had from the week. It´s so cool and really has made my testimony grow so much just from those things. The other day it was really late and we were all still up and Elder Dougher just says "hey guys I really feel like I need a priesthood blessing.."  Elder Harrop and I were the only ones with clothes so we got dressed and said a quick little prayer on who we thought should be the one to say it.  We both felt impressed that I should. So we got dressed up went out and gave the blessing.. I can honestly say that I spoke through the Spirit not a single word was a word of my own. When I closed the blessing we all just felt so overwhelmed everyone was crying and it was just beyond amazing. Those three guys have changed my life, I know that. I will be friends with them til the day I die. We were in the pre-mortal with eachother and I know that without a shadow of a doubt. We have all grown so much. I can feel the Spirit through them and without them I´d be lost. God put them here for a reason. I´m loving this and can not wait to get in the field. I´m ready to get out. My next email will be while I am in Barcelona!
 
Alright so on Monday I will be getting a little extra time to email you guys! I will be leaving the MTC and heading out on a train to BARCELONA! I´m way excited I can´t even wait. I had a really tough week. Really felt the adversary pounding on me. I know it´s because I´m doing exactly what he doesn´t want but the Lord always provides away. He will get me through this and reassure me. So I had an amazing experience at the park. I went with a native and we tore it up! We placed three copies of the BoM and got three references! How freaking amazing right?

I find out where I go when I get to the Mission Home on Tuesday!  I cannot even wait!! I could use some candy or something. But I need a tide to go stick, and some shoe smell odor!! The laundry thing...it works wonders for a missionary. hahah 

I am going to Sol today.  I leave in three hours. My Spanish is perfect ahahah...almost.  I have a harder time understanding than speaking.  I am learning Catalon too, not just Spanish.  Catalon is Spanish, French, and Portuguese mixed.  It is very different.  To answer your question about what I eat ... breakfast - yogurt, lunch - bread, dinner - pudding.  I left the house 196 and now I am 179.  We work out more than we probably should hahah but we look good haha!  

I went to the temple this morning for the last time before I leave for Barcelona.  I love you all and can not wait to hear from all of you!
