ELDER MELBILL!! haha

Hola Familia!

Well, It´s been another awesome week here at the C.C.M. I love it so much. I´ve had my down days, and I´ve had my awesome days, just like we´ve talked about before, it´s all so good though, and good for me!

How are you!? I want to hear all about everything! I´m loving the emails, they´re great. Keep filling me in on everything! I love hearing about all of you. I´m so glad you made the basketball team Chris! You´re so cool! Tanner, you made a basketball team too! Great job. I´m jealous of your crazy talent. I´ve been playing a lot of volleyball out in the backyard... haha It´s pretty cool. They´re working on construction here at the CCM and every morning a whole truck load of Guatemalans come pulling in, I´ve never seen so many people in the back of a truck before! It just kinda makes me happy to be here when I see that, no clue why, but I love it.

So I found out yesterday that Presidente Christensen was one of the authors of the ''Gospel Principles'' book the church puts out. That just goes to show how awesome he is. Seriously, He is an AMAZING person, I can´t get enough of his meetings and his lessons and stuff, he´s such an awesome person.

We watched the Testaments yesterday, and I was totally blown away. Y'all need to watch that ASAP! It´s so good, you´ll love it. I love how it shows Christ´s love for us. He lives. I KNOW that he lives. He is our savior, and we can go to him for anything. Any struggle we have in our lives, he´s there for us,and he´s felt it! I´m trying as hard as I can to come closer to my savior here at the CCM,and it´s been such a cool experience.

I just got back from the temple just over an hour and a half ago! Talk about an amazing experience. It´s such a small little place, but the spirit is so strong! Oh, and can you say... SPANISH!?!?!?! hahaha What a shocker. That was almost as shocking as seeing beans and pancakes right next to each other on the same plate. I love it though.

Speaking of small, everything here was made for a Guatemalan, when I look in the mirrors I have to squat down, because when I´m standing straight up I can only see from a little below my nose down. This makes me laugh every time. I always think of the movie ''ELF'' where Will Ferrell is living with all of the little elves in santa´s workshop and just start laughing to myself. Then I see the Elders who are a lot bigger and a lot taller than I am, and laugh even harder.

I love the latino missionaries. They are so cool. Even though there is a language barrier there are some i´ve gotten really close to. None of them can say my name, because in spanish the double ''L's'' make a YUH sound. haha so Melbill, Melvi, and Melviyay are the norms, but it´s always fun seeing what they come up with next. I love the Latino Missionaries here.

There is an Elder Savage here from texas, he doesn´t know any Savages from American Fork... but I just thought that was interesting! We must be related or something!

K so I was thinking, and the only things I can think of that would be good in a package are cup noodles, and a little container to put my soap in so that it doesn´t get all nasty. I had one I bought at the MTC but I left it in the shower and ELDER HAUTAU stole it. haha I just let him keep it though, it´s all good.

I keep forgetting Sis. Wise´s advice about telling who has written letters. Well, Now that I remember, I haven´t gotten any letters yet! I´ll let you know when I do. It´s all good.

K the computer is going to log me off in 5 minutes and my spacebar is broken. If I stop doing spaces just know that´s why.

I just saw a picture of UTAH, Looks like you´re all covered in snow! That´s awesome! I hope you´re loving it. The weather here is great. I got sunburnt Yesterday. haha I´m going on splits tomorrow with missionaries from the south mission! and I saw missionaries from central at the temple who knew Jesse! It was one of his companions.

Well, I love you all so much. The Church is true no matter where you go, no matter what language you speak. I love that.  I lovethe Book of Mormon! Read it! Just know everything is good here! I love getting emails keep them coming! I´m just way happy with everything though!

Love you all so much!
