HI FAMILY!!!
This is one of my last e-mails to you guys. Can you believe
it?? Know something crazy? If I would've gone home early to study (at BYU) I would be in
an airplane right now....going home today...Weird right? But hey for some
reason I stayed so I'm going to work hard. Don't worry.
OK Mom with my bed I've got it all figured out. Don't worry.
If you remember right the reason Sean didn't get his bed was because he was
going straight to his studies. In my case I will be home for 4 months which is
a very long time. Therefore it is necessary that I rest both my body and mind
from these Guatemalan twin beds. Now then comes the problem of privacy. Don't
worry about it. I have a solution. I have learned how rewarding hard work is in
the two years that I have served as a representative of Jesus Christ. Thanks to
this great blessing I will be able to work hard when I get home as well. One of
the first things that I will do is all by myself I will move my bed into the
other guest room and the guest room bed into Curtis' room. We can all see here
how I have masterfully found a solution for all problems. And don't worry
there's more!! When it comes time to go to college I can STILL work hard and
change the beds back! This solution is good for us all and I know the in
goodness of Curtis' heart he will understand this. Problem solved. (And don't
worry if it comes down to it Curtis can steal the TV from the other room....
but only if I get my bed :)
So this week honestly was kinda hard. I once again had to
leave the area twice and my companion was kinda left on his own. That's got to
be pretty hard as a new kid. But hey whatever. This week I shouldn't have to
leave. This week coming up is going to be great. We have a ward activity that
we planned. It's going to be a talent show. Everyone is doing a talent and we
gave them all invitations to give away to other people. We're hoping to be able
to find a lot of people through this.
Yesterday something kinda funny happened. We were walking to
church yesterday morning. A random car (really nice) pulled up out of nowhere
and some guy asked us where the chapel was. We told him but he asked us to get
in and show him. So yeah we got in to show him. I started talking to them and
it turns out that they came from Mexico! So when we got to the chapel and
started the meeting was when I actually realized it. We had gotten a ride from
a member of the area presidency...a 70 haha. The thing is they just changed the
presidency around so he was the new guy and so I didn't recognize him.
He spoke
in church and he gave the 3rd class and it was absolutely incredible. He
explained in depth the scriptures in D&C 84 19-22. It's really interesting
how he explained it. Basically he said the the real reason we go to church is
to do ordinances. The purpose of a Quorum or a class is to help others to
receive ordinances. The only way to see God after this life is to do all of the
ordinances of the gospel. That should be the biggest desire of all of us. He
finished by asking us to think of something. Do we want to see God and live
with him or no? But really a really good message.
Anyways that's what I got for you guys right now. My time is
about up. Sorry that I didn't tell you much about the investigators
today...Have an awesome week. I
love you guys.
