Shout out to the 9 people who read my emails. You know who you are because you emailed me. Thank you, I loved reading your emails. And for all of those who didn't: because of the Savior we can change, and so if you missed last week you can write to me this week

I love you all, email or no.
Here are the highlights of the week:
Rubix cube - not really gospel related but I can solve a rubix cube now.
Teachers Quorum - so that morning we were asked to teach the teachers on preparing for the missions. We didn't really have time to prepare for it, then our data stopped working and we missed institute, so we were able to study. Then right after institute ended our connection came back so... divine intervention or something like that. Pretty cool
Bike problems (Wednesday to Thursday) -I'm starting to wonder if there will be a week without problems. So Wednesday we got back from district council and found out I had a flat tire. But we didn't have time so my comp biked and I ran to a service, then changed and sped walked to some lessons so that was exciting.
That night the Elders joined us for a dinner, we had an awesome lesson on Pres. Nelson's talk on spiritual momentum (must read) and got a ride home from them. The next morning the Elders gave us a ride to Walmart and I bought a pump. Then found out the tear was on the nozzle and so I pumped it up as much as possible then we biked to Walmart, because the Elders couldn't give us a ride again,, and bought a new inner tube. So the tire got fixed but I accidently moved the brakes and so I ended up crashing into a blackberry bush. I'm so talented
Exchange miracles - we went on exchanges and so I was with Elder Juarez. That day we found a referral who wants to be baptized and some new friends nearby. It was super cool.
Weather - Church was awesome, but the weather was terrible. The morning was nice but after church the rain came tumbling down, then the hail came. It stung, and then it poured. By the time we got home that night it had stopped.
In church we talked about "A Mighty Change of Heart" and it was super cool to talk about what it means to have a broken heart and contrite spirit. Someone explained it as seeing a cop while speeding and so you immediately have a change of heart and start following the speed limit. Granted it might not be the right reason but it's still a change of heart. But it isn't permanent, just like conversion, it's an ongoing process. There are those times when we will have a large spiritual moment and have that change of heart, like right after Conference. But later it might not be as strong, so we can pray and study the scriptures to keep that change of heart going.
I love you all and I hope you all can read back through General Conference and find the message that was put in there for you.
Have a great week!
Here is the one pic I took. This was when I was running
