LETTTTEEERRR #9!!!

 Hi there!!1
> Another great week at the MTC!! And to start off, i would like to say sorry this letter has taken me so long to write! There was an E-mail account malfuntion today at the MTC!! And it was really scary, for a second i was not sure if i was even going to be able to write one!!
> But anyways!! Great week! We had a talk from Richard G Scott! We got two Apostles in a row!! How lucky are we!! I was so exited! He gave an amazing talk! He talked about spiritual promptings and the impotance of writing them down and remembering them! He then gave us a list of his own personal promptings! We are not allowed to copy them or use them in talks or anything. He wants us to just keep them for us!! It was so special! AFTER IT STARTED SNOWING!!! I was so exited! I of course, started a snowball fight! Which was all fun and games until, Elder Randel (a large man from New Zealand that plays rugby) got involved! He got a huge snowball and attacked Elder Peterson, a elder in my district! At that point, it was time to surrender!
> Next crazy thing! I am getting a new teacher! My native teacher is getting replaced with a new native teacher! And my new teacher barely speaks any English!! It is crazy!! I am bummed my old teacher is leaving, she was so funny and awesome! And made class very fun! But our new teacher seems awesome! I will have my first lesson with her on Monday! MY COMP got his travel plans. He is leaving next Monday! So i am freaking out!! I should get my travel plans this week! Can you believe how fast this has gone by?!?! It is so nuts! I will be sure to let you know if my departure date changes next Monday! But as of now, it is Nov 16!
> SO, i heard Alex Bertha's name called over the intercom this week to come to the front desk! I sprinted to the front desk! I saw his VISA but not him! hah... I saw his VISA before he did! That is pretty cool! But i didn't see Alex that day! I did the next day though and it was awesome! He seems to really be doing great!
> I bought an awesome pair of chop sticks this week! I have been using them very often to eat! However, most of the time i just eat "tator taughts" with them, I am becoming quite skilled! I am really starting to love Chinese and teaching! I have to rely on the spirit so much! The whole time that i teach, i am constantly praying!! It is amazing to see how much heavenly father is willing to help you when you give him all that you have to offer!!! There is no way i would be able to learn Chinese or even teach with out his help. It is very humbling! Well, the MTC is soo cool!
> I am loving my mission! I am getting so pumped to get out into the field!! I love you all, thank you so much for your love and support! It helps me so much!
> Love bao zhang lao!!
