Excerpt from snail mail letter: Things have been coming along great, wasn't conference awesome? I didn't get much out of the morning sessions because I had to listen in Spanish, like I understood the words and what was going on at the moment but it didn't record very well on my brain's play back tapes. I think it was mostly b/c it took most of my concentration to actually understand what was being said rather than being able to look for pormptings from the spirit and be able to make other connections. When I listened in English, I got way more out of it and for that I am grateful.
I love you all and I love to show off the pictures I have to everyone. :)
And, here's his latest weekly email:
we didn't get any letters or anything today because the cars that bring them werent working or something, as best as I can understand.
I have a request from s farris that you send, basically whatever you put on the blog to him. Everyone loves the blog BTW
Glad you liked the tie, its pretty sweet lol. Oh and Denny's middle of the night is so much fun, once every couple weeks we would do it.
I'm sure Amanda will be just fine, she is surrounded by good lds kids, and good people in administration. Just remind her to not forget me ;)
No photos this week but I did print some off that i'll be sending later on. its pretty cheap to print them off so don't worry about cost.
And I'll definitely keep you all and a new house in my prayers this week and until you do find a good one.
Thanks for the pics!
Hey do you happen to know if A Garner ever made it into the MTC?
And just a couple heads up I have currently with me enough contacts to last me through mid october and for my bday the only thing im gonna ask for (well for now) is a photo album with pictures of everyone back home cool?
So anyways this week we had a really good week, we found 20 new investigators which matches a zone high and we got a lot of people preparing for baptisms. Now if we could just get them to come to church thatd be even better. We stopped by 6 different families this week and none of them came to church. We were really hyping up church this week too because it was stake conference.
The other American elder and I went on splits this week and we had the best day Ive ever had. We just worked hard, were completely obedient and talked to everyone. Im learning better how to talk with everyone. By everyone I mean everyone. I'll I have to do is open my mouth and words are there for me to say. Sometimes I catch myself saying things that I had no idea I knew how to say. But yeah this is the Lord's work and thats why I'm here to help his children return to him
One thing I learned in conference is that we are most definitely sons and daughters of God, and we should take that more literally. We have the Gospel of Jesus Christ to guide us through any troubles that we have and we know what we need to do in this life to have an eternal family. This is the most precious knowledge that i can think of, it saddens me that so many people cant grasp that this is exactly what they need right now, and for eternity
Can you believe Ive been out here for 5 weeks already? Holy cow! Transfers are next week and monday is travel day so I dont know if I'll have email time or not...Wow time flies!
I love you all and your in my prayers
