Oh boy to i have an experience to tell you about. i cannot remember if i told you or not. but Elder Bednard of the Quorom of the Twelve Apostles came to speak at the CTM on Monday May 19th. And it was an experience of a life-time. i wish that i could have had a copy of the words that he said. i did take some notes and got a lot of goods things writtent that he had talked about. but the notes are no where as incredible as actually being there and feeling his amazing spirit. He trully is an apostle of the Lord. and i also got the opportunity to shake his and his wife´s hands. and it was amazing, i will never forget that day for the rest of my life. i will try and send you a letter with some of the notes that i wrote down if i ever get some time. The experience was so amaxing, that i wrote almost 4 pages in my journal that night and the next morning. But everything else is just as fantastic, i love being a missionary and i havent been having any problems lately with getting discouraged, my companion and i had a great week last week in learning the language. We were able to teach the 2nd lesson, which is the hardest to teach without any notes at all. The Lord is with us, because i know that with out him, i would still be learning the 1st lesson. This week we have to have down the 3rd lesson and the 1st lesson full. which my companion and i almost have the 3rd lesson all the way down. which is awesome. oh and i have some new news. i was called to be district leader two weeks ago as i told you already. and i got a little bit of a new surprise last night. i found out that i was called to be an AP( Assistant to the President). so i now have two callings, because we are going to be here for such a short time. i am a district leader with the responsibilities of an AP. so pray for me, because i am going to need it. and today we went to the Polílicia Federal to get our fingers printed so that we can get our brazilian id. which i am super excited to get. but i really cannot think of any thing really exciting that has been going. the spirit is still just as strong and the language is still just as hard. but everything is going great, only because I have the Lord on my Side, Hymn #124. go read it, because it is one of my favorites now. i love it and it gives so much comfort to me everytime i read it or sing it. and as a district we sing it atleast two or three times a week. but everything is going great. I love you and send everyone else my love. Elder Jory B. Spotts
