im back yay wow so sorry about the last week my account got locked and i was not able to enter and after working on it with the secretaries we opened my account again and here i am. so first before i forget so you have something to read in your huge talk. ummm mom a few months after we moved into the house in bloomington, the you live in now i had if you remember lots of problems going on in my life i know that you dont know but i didnt kkow if the church was true. i wnted ti repent i wanted to get all the weight in my life of sins and throw it all away, but how on earth could i do that i didnt have a testimoney anymore. i was working in 4 seasons one day when i was pondering about how, or what i should do when... read the book of mormon came into my mind i came to the conclusion if the book of mormon was true then really repentence was real and could be done. it was on my mind all that day until i got home and went up stairs, i went in and shut the door and started to read and pray and i didnt feel anything i prayed again i still had not recieved anything, when i was reading in alma chapter 29, i felt a peace and then a urge to pray i felt an over whelming sense of love compassion and relief, i started to cry.... and then dad opened the door said bryce and noticed i was having an enjoyable reading session and shut the door again. that was the first time i came to know that by reading and asking god to know if the book of mormon is true you really can recieve an answer. THE BOOK OF MORMON IS TRUE. as a missionary i am costantly building my testimony of the book of momon from studying it every day but more from applying it to the teachings. everyday i give testimony to this book by sharing with others if i have learned anything it would be that this book is like it testifies the most correct book in the world and most of all the testimoney it gives of our savior jesus christ is powerful and life changing. i know with all my heart that the book of mormon is true. ok as for this past week wow it was super crazy i cant believe that another one has gone by. basically i walked and preached like a beast getting 30 fantastic lessons fainding great new families, one of which i find very neat, is a family of grandma mom dad and two really crazy sons 10 and 11named tomàs and tadeo i see a lot of myself in those little guys. here the grandmas are crazy and really annoy me sometimes for an example as we w were teaching tomas and tadeo tomas got up really quick to get a drink of water and the grandma started up again saying dint you drink anything you horrible kid and on and on and started saying to look see how dis obediebçnt he is he never listens. he felt super bad so when she wasnt looking i gave him a thumbs up and a smile. then like 10 minutes later he got up to adjust the fan and she lit up again, i couldnt take it anymore she had him almost in tears she took away the spirit sooooooo i said sister ummm sister what do you think you are doing do you realize hes a kid, she said but its because he never listens, as soon as she said that i quickly responded with if he never listens than what are you doing even talking, she shut up and as her head hung down i explained how horrible a thing it was what she did ya well when we are at there house she doesnt yell anymore yay. hmmmm o ya this week we have david 16 years old who will be baptized at 5 pm and then the next week we have liliana and gabriel i am just trying to find these people but people here and during these the catholic months as you would call it because it is non stop festivities so the people are just a little shut in there ways and sont open the doors to us much right know... ok well i have to go thanks for evrything i really love you all, take care. oh ya on wednesday i have conference it wilol be sweet, hopfully there is a little mail for me... love yall by....... love elder schall
