Góðan Daginn! Oh my goodness this week felt so long and so short at the same time. Thursday to Saturday felt so long, but now Sunday to Wednesday has been a blink. The other elders in my zone are mostly headed for the field now. One of them got temporarily assigned to Houston Texas as he waits for his visa for Jamaica I believe. Honestly I can't remember where they all are headed. Sunday morning I learned that I'd be missing part of my monday evening class for a music devotional by BYU's Vocal Point (the singing group thing). Not gonna lie, I was pretty annoyed because I didn't want to miss class for it (I really love learning Icelandic). Anyways, I went there and the first song they played was "Teach me to walk in the Light". On Sunday I was studying Christ and his atonement, and that song came to my mind because that's what we're here for. We're here to learn how to walk in the light. We don't do it perfectly, but we're learning and through the atonement we can return to the light despite our mistakes. Anyways, hearing that song softened my heart and enabled me to feel the spirit so much for the remainder of that meeting. Tuesday was also pretty amazing. In the scriptures I had been studying around king Benjamin's sermon about having a mighty change of heart like the people he preached to. I've had the largest desire to have a change of heart like that too because I wanna be an amazing disciple of Christ. So anyways, Tuesday comes and the general Authority devotional was by Elder Johnson of the Seventy. And he talked partially about having a mighty change of heart. Icelandic is going well! I definitely have a whole lot to learn, but in these past 3 weeks I've become able to speak more Icelandic than after two years of spanish. Tungutalsgjöfn er sönn. I know I don't know a whole lot of Icelandic but that doesnt matter. 1 Corinthians 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather aspeak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. Being in the MTC over Easter and General Conference!!!!! It's so amazing. My love and appreciation for Christ and his Atonement have never been higher. I'm even enjoying going to Choir. Not sure if the Choir director is as happy for me to be there as I am, but nobody has said that it sounds like a raccoon got run over by a big wheel tricycle yet so lets goooo. I did end up having to drink a glass of milk, but the lord must really want me to serve a mission because I'm still alive. Having donuts available at every breakfast has been the main source of agony for my belt but we are still moving forward B). Dang four weeks feels a lot shorter than five does until I leave. I'm still super excited! Himneski Faðir elskar þið! I'm so excited for easter.
