I am not really sure if anyone reads this blog anymore but whatever, the reason that I write it is to have some memories for the future. Anyways, my good friend from my mission Luis Enrique Ugalde Guttierez got his mission call and he is going to...........Billings, Montana. yes it is FREEZING there but it is goin to be a great experience for him to learn the gospel more so than he already does and continue to prepare himself spiritually. He doesn't even have to bring a bike. We opened his letter from the first presidency in front of the provo temple (pictures to come soon) and we recently went through the SLC temple for the first time for him. it was such an amazing experience and I couldn't have been more happy for him. he's one of my best friends and i'm going to be sad to see him go but I know he's on the Lord's side and that he will be brother's with the Lord. After seeing him go through the temple it made me realize how important missionary work is and how glad I was to be able to help him in his life to prepare for a mission and a life of missionary work. he's going to be a great leader one day, not only within in his family and the church but others he will lead as well. I'm excited for him and he's excited to go to montana. he was jumping up and down for joy when he found out that he got his mission call there!
