hey everyone,
well today is my first p-day so its been so nice. we get alot of personal time so its going to be awesome not having to sit in a little class room all day. but things are going great here. class has been going pretty good i have been learning so much and i have been teaching alot too so its pertty cool to actually be able to teach and know what im supposed to be doing before i get into the field. i love teaching the investigators here even though they are members they pretend to be investigators and its way cool cause you still grow to love them and can feel the spirit in the lessons even though everyone is just acting.
last night was probably one of the best nights i have ever had by far. we are getting a new mission presedemcy this week so elder holland came to the fireside and spoke last night. it was amazing he talked alot about missionary work and it was one of the best takls i have ever heard. he talked alot on how that we are in a new era of missionary work with preach my gospel and because of that we have to be the best missionaries the world has ever seen. because we actualy have to know the gospel and teach how the people need instead of telling a memorized lesson. he also talked about how we are the hope of israel and it is our job to bring people unto christ. when he was talking about how we are the hope of isreal i had never realized the importance of my call. i had never realized how important my job is and how important it is for me to study and be the missionary that the invesitgators deserve. then after the meeting we had a district meeting where we all bore our testimonies and talked about the talk and that was also realy good. it was a great night and it was definately something we all needed to hear.
oh and let grandma and grandpa know that we have a great group of guys going to seattle! there is 8 of us in my district that are going to seattle and i love them they are some great guys and will definatley work hard our in the field. i have been learnig alot from them especialy from my comp elder lindamen hes an awesome kid. and thank the haugs for me for the candy it was awesome haha me and my comp are loving it.
well i hope everything is going well there and give hank a good scratch for me!

elder berry
