hey mama !!!! this week was pretty
killer ! and yes i got you awesome package thank you soooooo much the rolls and
caramels were BOMB!!! we decided to save the drink for Christmas tho i think we’re
gonna do a little party in the hallway maybe try to catch santa ;P mom this
week has been such a testimony builder for me just yesterday my whole branch
was sorta fed up with each other so our teacher dropped his lesson and sorta
hashed it out with us. and after the lesson he felt an impression to challenge
us to go into our Tuesday devotion with the question "what doctrine of Christ
do i need to work on to be a better man and missionary?" so i said sure
whatever and didn’t really give it another thought i was still pretty ticked i
wanted to ripe elder jones head right off the kid was just being such a hypocrite
and you know how i don’t respond well to people telling what to do. so i
totally go into the devotional with a lamen and lemual hardened heart thinking
whatever why do i need to change I’m in the right he’s wrong not me. and guess
what the devotional was on Christ like attributes and how most importantly we
need to develop love and patience......... oh i was soooooo beyond ticked !!!!!
I was like NOOOOOOOOOOO im totally about to be smacked in the head and humbled.
mom it was such a good talk he kept saying nobody can make you feel any way if
you dont let them take control of yourself.... it reminded me of dad sitting me
down and giving me a talking to ;P
also a couple of days ago i was just
ticked i didn't want to be here i was tired of the people the food and the
schedule. so im sitting in choir and this Elder with two forest gump looking
crutches gets this big old smile on his face looks right at me before saying
the closing prayer. it was such an amazing humbling beautiful experience....
here i am with this amazing body, situation, and family and im all bent outta
shape because im tired and im letting some idiot elder get on my nerves. i just
started weeping. i mean if a guy who can barely walk can serve with a happy
heart then DA**IT I CAN TOO!!!!!!
ever sense those experiences ive
been almost a different person. its amazing how heavenly father can slap u in
the face with the spirit and wrap his arms around you at the same time.....
i love it here mom im so happy that
you and dad pushed me to this now that im here i can start to see how this
really is going to affect my entire being and life. i mean gezz for the first
time ever im like ok i want to marry a return MISSIONARY!!!!!!
WHAAAAAAAAA???!?!?!?! i miss you all so much! i have Christmas gifts on the way
for yall and same rules apply! DO NOT OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! AND I MEAN IT
WOMAN!
HEY i have some homework for you go
onto LDS.org and on the front page there's a section that's called a savior is
born with a big picture of Mary holding baby Jesus click on that and watch the a
savior is born video! then scroll down and watch David archeletas video !!!!!
ITS SO AMAZING !!!!!! also if you board watch Lexi walkers vid and lindsey
