Dear Dad family and friends,
Oh yeah, it was definently hot enough this week. However this
morning we came outside and it was first time in a while that it was
colder outside than inside. It is showing signs of cooling down.
With the card thing, I was not suprised that you noticed that there
was a purchase. I helped Elder Fa'onelua out. He got a new suit and his
parents had not sent him money for one yet. I have money back from that
now so everthing is okay. I am going to try and find a bank soon
so I can put the money back on the card where it should be. I was
wondering though if you could order some contacts for me and address them
to here. I tried the other day to use my insurance card and I could not
figure out what to do. I also found my camera cord and will send some
pics with my email. Thanks dad for watching out for me. My address will
stay the same. Elder fa'onelua is finishing his mission this week and I
will be getting my new companion Elder Stansworth. He is a pretty cool
guy. He was in my zone when I was in Stephenville. I will be excited to
serve with him.
This past week has just flown by. We have been working super hard and I
even lost track of what day it was this week. Ha ha. Our Sunday was
great. The stake presidency came and spoke and there were also two
investigators that were able to make it to church. One was a girlfriend
of a recent convert. We met her this week and invited her to come and
she did. We will be teaching her in a members home this week and will
have a great spiritual lesson to help her to follow the example of Jesus
Christ by being baptized.
Thank you for the scripture from Ether dad. I needed it. I actually
had just read it this morning in my studies and I currently have two
chapters left in the Book of Mormon. I have learned so much this
time from reading and studying it. It was part of a challenge from our Mission President to go through and mark every reference to Jesus
Christ; his doctrine, his words, and his atributes. It has been truly
amazing and has really strengthened my testimony and faith in Jesus
Christ.
Thank you dad and mom and everyone for your prayers. The last few
weeks have been some of the hardest and best weeks, because we are so
busy. It is exciting to see how the Lord allows his work to go forth and
work so well. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and I still
have so much more to grow from. I hope ya'll have a wonderful week. Thank
you for sharing about Brother Magee's talk. It will help me from giving
into peer pressure which there is a lot of out here with bending of mission
rules and I have to always remind myself to remember my commitment is
first to the Lord, then the mission president, and then the missionaries. That
is from our missionary handbook. I feel how important my calling is when I hear that, and I hope to remember it always. That is exciting to hear
about your long swim and it sounds like the kayak is getting used
efficaciously. Ha ha that is a new word I learned this week and I have
bee trying to find a way to use it. I love ya'll and I will keep you in
my prayers.
Love,
