hey fam!
so, you're going to hate me for this. but my card
is not being read. i cant send pics. dont know why. sorry. i cant wait to
talk! its coming up so fast. it will most likely just be over the phone. it is
good to see the little baby puppy! and kimball. thats so awesome. im glad you
had a good birthday mom.
dad i have just been studying a lot in daniel. and in
mosiah. im more just reading the books to get a better understanding of them. i
know its better to study by topic. and i do a lot of the time. i dont know. not
a ton of deep questions lately. the ones i have now are about the temple. and
that one i'll have to ask when we go. but as I study, i'll let you know if i
have any questions. i gave a talk on sunday based off the scripture 1 tim 4:12.
it was reallly cool. i got to share my experience that led me to being more
converted to the gospel. the man that was a great example. i think thats part
of what i want to share at my homecoming.
we also had an interesting experience
this week. president called me aside and told me he has heard of some
disobedience in the zone. and he asked me who i knew of and what they were
doing. so i told him. an elder in my apt, i recently just found out, has a
personal phone. so when i told president that he immedietly went to the elder
and pulled him aside and talked to him. so then later the elder confronted me
and asked me what he had done to me to make me report him. he was so upset at
me. and i told him that president asked me, so i told him. im not going to lie
to president. he still isnt talking to me. which is awkward because we are in
the same apt. anyway. i tried explaining
it and being kind. but he is just mad. its alright though.
we had a lot of
success with church yesterday. we had several people come. we are hoping that a
few will be baptized before i go. i feel like im still really fighting the
natural man inside of me. overcoming it will be a lifelong struggle. but i feel
it will get easier along the way if i keep moving forward. a talk i read
recently. "converted unto the lord". its so sweet. it helps me with
my testimony and understanding the process of conversion.
love you all. sorry
about the pics. not sure what is wrong.
