Hola

this week was absolutely crazy, we went to the temple on tuesday as you know, and on wednesday we had our zone leader counsel, which was pretty good and took all day, then on thursday, we had zone conference, my last one! i cant believe it. finally on friday we were able to work a little bit and on saturday, we had to go to a baptism of some elders in the zone because we had to do the baptismal interview and we had the saturday sessions of stake conference, so that day was super busy and yesterday we had stake conference which was really good it talked a lot about families and the important role of parents in the home. it was good. so this week was super busy but we were able to get work done in our extra time. so there are going to be a lot of changes in the mission a lot of which are based on the things we learned in our seminar. here are the major changes: zone conference every 3 months instead of every 6 weeks. Interviews with president every 3 months instead of every 6 weeks as well. the seminar every 2 months for leaders in the mission. the seminar will make us much better teachers and the training is so powerful and so often that the missionaries will become better teachers than ever and of course that comes from following the spirit. those are the main changes, it`ll be wierd at first but i feel like they are good for everyone.


wow its great to hear that everyone is doing good in the family and back home, i can`t believe josh is already almost gone, give him a hug and wish him good luck for me, can you please get his mtc address for me, i want to send him something and i know it wont get there til he is in the mtc so i might as well just send it to the mtc, eh?

well everything is going great down here, i love this work, i am very thankful for the great parents that the Lord blessed me with because you raised me in the gospel with high standards and i am who i am for your effort when we were all little. this church is true and so is the book of mormon. i love you, thank you for everything.

Love,

Elder Spencer Karr
