Wed June 26

Hey Everyone. How are you. Im doing alright except for the fact that our plane was canceled. We had our plans and everything. I Went to the travel office got prepared. Everything was underweight. We Woke up at 2:00 a.m. and got to the air port at salt lake at 4:30. oUR FIRST DEPARTURE WAS AT 6:00 a.m to Dallas. But then while waiting in line the airlines told us that our flight was canceled due to big thunderstorms. So we called the mission office and an hour later they picked us up. During that hour the 23 of us going sang hymns. So We got back into bus and headed home. We ate breakfast then went back to sleep for a couple more hours. So we went to the Temple today and Im really enjoying going. I really feel closer to God when Im there. And im starting and to memorise and say the parts back. So Hopefully tommorow or the next day we can leave. But for now im back with my old district and in the same bed. We were lucky. Other missionaries got kicked out of their rooms because of all the new missionaries that come in on wendsday. I also saw devon again. He's awesome and we bore each others testimonies in our respective languages. it was really neat. We did this outside with sack lunches. Last night for our tuesday devotional we had Elder Holland Speak, present were Elder Perry, Elder Eyring, Elder Scott, Elder Ballard, and Elder Uchtdorf. It was probably the best, most influential and emotional talk i have ever experianced. He spoke on the Atonement of christ. By the end their wasnt a dry face in the building as he bore a beautiful yet bold testimony. It was then followed by a powerful and very emotional prayer offered by an elder. He was hugged and kissed right after, by both brother holland and ballard. On suday President Monson spoke to us and taked about missionary work and about him and his dealings with missionaries in his life, especially as a 30 year old mission president. Its awesome at the MTC right now be cause this last week we have had the new mission presidents training. The whole place is shut down and on lock down. Apostles are wissing in and out of view as more thatn have of them are here each day. Even the prophet has come many instances. Seldom do people see them because of all the security protecting the mission presidents and Apotles. The spirit is so stong in their that even the teachers cant go in the main building, It is very sacresd and no one can talk to the MP's until they have been spoken to. Not even the teachers can speak or be with them. But it was an amazing expeiance seeing 118 new mission presidents from 16 nationalities be present. It was an amazing experiance, even having to wait in very long lines do to there presence.I hope all is well with you all. I hope this gets to everyone. I really am gaining a huge testimony of the gospel and learning spanish very well. Im glad im here. I hope that I can grow to love my companion but we are totally differeant. Im trying to be patient. Thats my biggest challenge here. But any ways I love the gospel and my savior jesus Christ. I love him and all of you. I hope to see you soon. Well not to soon. But the thought counts that I miss ya.Love,Elder Zabransky ( as my distict would call me)
