anything in spanish in my emails but if you dont know those two
words.... Thats a tad bit of a shame. Haha. So I dont have a ton of
time to write today but ill try my best. The pictures are from last
pday when we got to go see the relief map of central america. Pretty
awesome 100 year old structure mapping out the mountains 98%
accurately totally out of concrete. So I had a pretty amazing week
here, and I only have 6 days until I get to enter the field. Super
excited. First, at the end of last pday, I got to watch elder bednars
devotional to the provo mtc this christmas. And I wont lie, When I see
the provo MTC I get a little sad, and it brings back feelings of how
my call was for brazil. But at the end of his talk he said that we are
called as missionary. We are not called to a place. We are assigned.
And so if the assignment changes, the call doesnt. As long as we are
servants of the Lord, we are serving in the correct place. Boom.
Question answered. So general conference was pretty dang amazing. Of
course some of my favorite talks were the prophet and the first
presidency, elder holland and bednar, but the one I want to talk about
is Elder Hallstrom from Priesthood session. He said in essence that
saying "Thats just the way I am" is a terrible phrase to ever say. Its
giving up our agency to change. And thats so true. We can always
change our habits and personality flaws if we really have a desire to
and if we rely on the atonement. So I loved that. Im gonna miss the
CCM which the latinos call Centro de carce de mormones (the jail of
mormons)! Haha I thought that was actually pretty funny. I love
Latinos. They are so kind and fun loving and happy. Always. Especially
at 6 am when they want to wake up early and have a fiesta. Thats when
I become the sherriff of the ccm again. hahahaha Well I love you all
so very much. Im doing great! next email will be filled with
adventures from the field! Im so excited! Sorry if I didnt respond to
any questions. Always, Elder Hodson
