Hey guys! whats up? Mom this is for you - Thanks for that coat that's gonna be super nice! also yes i leave the MTC december 13. and I'm gonna try to see teags at 12:45 thats when hes coming in and im so stoked! seriously it'll be so cool to see him. also yeah long johns would be nice. It's even getting kind of cold (perfect for me) at the MTC.Ok so the language is coming pretty quick especially in the past week. I just have to get down more vocab and I can make (almost) any sentence I want!!! It's pretty awesome and you seriously have to conjugate for every single thing and the sentence structure is all jacked but i'm getting the hang of it. I just need to memorize verbs and more words. BUT GUESS WHAT Russell M. Nelson came and talked in a devotional and it was so good! He talked about how we need to become "living epistles of Jesus Christ" by having the fullness of the gospel woven into our hearts. He also talked about how us as missionaries are influencing generations yet unborn. He's a way good speaker. when he left and as we all stood, he walked and stopped to look at us all and he blew a little kiss to all of us haha! He seems like an awesome guy. I dont know if you guys know but i joined choir haha. We sang Praise to the Man for Russell M. Nelson and our choir teacher is so awesome. While we rehearsed and stuff he tells the story behind the song and he told some stories about Joseph Smith. I wanna tell you guys one that was way awesome. So Joseph and one of his apostles/friends (i cant remember what one) were walking and Joseph being like well over his 200lbs (he was a pretty bulky and broad chested guy) said to his friend/apostle being about 130lbs "too bad you aren't my weight or we could have a little fun" and his friend said "what's wrong with my weight" and right as he said that Joseph swung his arm under his legs and swept him off his feet and when he did that it totally snapped his friends leg. Joseph carried him to his friends house and laid him down and his leg was completely snapped in half. Joseph felt so bad and kept checking on him. But yeah anyways it was just a cool story in showing that he wasnt just "Joseph Smith the prophet" he was just good ol' Joseph Smith too. What I didn't realize is how jacked he was haha. but yeah everything is going good and I love hearing from you all. Thanks mom for the cookies and stuff you sent me :) those took me instantly back to the kitchen of the house haha. love you all - Boren 장 로 (Elder Boren)
