Albuquerque Temple

 Hey everyone, this week has been crazy with transfers and planning for the temple trip. I got a new companion and our Ward split into two areas and so I was blessed to stay in my ward. My new companion is Elder Bostock! I love him! He is from Logan, Utah. In high school he played football and did wrestling. He has been on him mission for 6 months. I have already learned so much for him. One of the biggest things I have learned from him I'd that you can still have fun while being obedient and staying busy!! That's something that has helped me alot just this first week with him. He's amazing! 

Let's see in one of the pictures, looks like a wedding. NOPE that's a quinceañera. The quinceañera was for bishops daughter and so we got invited to it. They had dinner from 6-8 then the dance from 8-1. They party. We only went for dinner and it's a good place to talk to people in the ward and even meet new people! 

Definitely the high light of my week was going to the temple. The hard thing about preparing for it was finding a ride. Our elders quorum president was awesome and drove us up. So yesterday we were up at 4 am do that we could be there in time for our session. It's about a four hour drive from El Paso to Albuquerque and absolutely boring. But we made it in time and the session was awesome! After the session we stopped by a house that Hermano Henke (our elders quorum president) owns that has had sewer problems. So by the time we were done with that and got home, it was 8:30. Such a long day but it was such a blessing to go to the temple. 

So many blessings come from the temple and that's something that I can promise you. That no matter your struggles or problems or questions. As you attend the temple regularly, God will help you and will help you find the things you need to help you in your life and your situation. Have a great week, I love you all!
