This week was pretty good! This Sunday was fast sunday and it was proably the first time that i have fasted for 24 hours. One of the things i fasted for was to be able to bear the food. The food hasnt changed at all but the way my body process it is a lot better! That was just a little testimony to me of the power of fasting.
We started to teach two investigators this week. They are both really are teachers one teaches us in the morning and the other teaches us at night. The male investigator was very hard. He doesn{t belive in god. But he wants to receive an answer. So we taught him how to pray. In the second lesson he told us he still hadnt recived an answer. He lives with his girlfriend and has two kids. I felt an impression that in our second lesson we should teach him chastity. So we did! There was a lot of awkward pauses but i think the lesson actually went pretty well. He told us that he would talk with his girlfriend about getting married. This week we havent been taking any notes in spanish to our lessons just english and we translate them. This last one we didnt even have english notes we just went in and taught him in spanish! Its pretty cool.
This whole week elder jensen has felt sick and the last two days ive started to not feel good. Today was a little better though! After our lesson last night we went home early and went to bed so we could get some sleep. But it will be good! Im sure this week will be better!
Today we got to go to the temple! It was about an hour away. It was nice to get out of the CCM for a little while! We went to the visitors center there and the spirit was so strong! I miss the temple a lot but i also feel the spirit here every day so it makes up for it.
Theres a saying here in the CCM that the weeks feel like days and days feel like weeks. Its so true! Every day is so long but it feels like i just go here! Elder Jensen and I get a long really well. We are both pretty sarcastic so sometimes we pretend to yell at eachother and act mad but we arent being serious at all! Some of the other elders in our district proabably think we have problems! We are really close with the rest of our district and i can tell we are all going to be very good friends after the mission!
The shirts arent really wrinkle free but we have an iron in our room. I actually ruined a pair of my pants with it. I guess it was all the way turned up and burned a hole right through it. So when i get to texas i might need you to send me a pair of black pants if that is okay. If i ever get a chance to talk to president pratt i will tell him i know his cousin. I dont really ever see him! I wish i could have been home to see Villy and Ty they are the best! With the Tall program we just learn most of our grammer. I miss you guys! I hope school goes well good luck with that! (You dont need to put the last paragraph on the blog)
I almost forgot about the Plane story. Nothing really happended with it. she didnt really want to hear about our church. She said she likes our standards and stuff but there is some things she doesnt like. I just tried to bare my testimony to her and told her to read the Book Of Mormon. She is really intrested in Jesus and God so i told her that in 3 Nephi Christ visits the Americas and she said she might read that. But you never know!

Glad Elder Hurst is adjusting to the food. Power in Fasting.
Then this is our teacher and investigator. His name is Fernado Perez. He just got off his mission to Panama two months ago! I like him a lot! I will take a picture of our teacher this week.

The hole he burned in his pants with the iron.
The computer he uses to email us. Notice the two N keys.
