so no great inspiring email this week, ill try to have one next week. the picture thats attached is me holding a bearded dragon!!!! that thing is sweet. nothings really happened this week. ive been on exchanges mostly. oh oh i do have one crazy storey. elder santiago and i were on exchanges again except this time we were in his area. we went and ate dinner at this members home. we got there sat down for dinner then this younger women comes in and starts crying and says that she needs a blessing now.......!!!!!!! so we excused ourself from the table and we gave her a blessing. after the blessing she yelled that she didn't feel the spirit and asked if her dad could give her a blessing. her dad gave her a blessing and said that she still didn't feel anything. then she started crying again saying that she needed to talk to her bishop. couple minutes later the bishop knocks and comes in. it was nuts. later we found out that she was a crack addict and a binge drinker. lol deffently a journal entry. hmmm i cant think of anything else that was really funny. oh yea spiritual experience. was in the temple in the celestial room. i was worried what i was going to do for a career and how i was going to support my family. after saying a prayer in the celestial room, an overwhelming peaceful feeling came over me, it was pretty much the lord saying just serve with all your heart might mind and strength and ill take care of you. it was way sweet.

Love,
Elder Herring
