It
was good to hear from you guys, I miss all of you. I didn´t get
homesick I was just so happy to hear the little ones voices! I miss them so
much. I can´t believe Sharbugs is talking, and Konman knows left from
right, and little B is almost crawling :). I´m ready to get out of here
and into the field, The CCM is awesome pero es tiempo to leave.
Did
you guys get pictures of grandmas house? I wish I could of been there,
it´s definitely hitting me on how much I miss her. Please send pictures
if you have them. I know Grams is here with me and she is with you guys
as well. Tell Uncle Karl, Aunt Melanie, Judd, Jessie, Blythe and Zach
"Hello" from me. Let Aunt Sherrie I said hello as well as Aunt Deena.
My
week here has been pretty good, definitely busy pero bien! I got a music
arrangement together for my District to sing at the final devotional
and I´ve been sewing like crazy. I have to return the sewing machine
tomorrow so people are lined up for me to get their stuff sewn. I say
the final prayer on Sunday
at the devotional for the whole CCM. Tomorrow I have infield training all
day so that is going to super fun.. Not. I´ve started packing and I get
my flight plans today. I will be calling Tuesday sometime not sure when keep your phones on you.
My
companion and I taught our final lessons with our investigatores and
they cried. They are going to miss us and we will miss them. Two got
'bautizado'! I can´t wait to get to be with real investigators and share
a big part of what makes me happy. Yo se que la Iglesia es verdadero y
este bendice mi vida. I´m so grateful to be here serving a mission and
learning so much about life. This is an amazing opportunity, and many
are waiting to hear about the Gospel.
I hope
everyone is enjoying their week, and Melissa is enjoying her last few
weeks of school. Tell everyone Hello from Mexico, and that I love them.
Here is one of my favorite talks:
"Fellowship
of the Unashamed" by Henry B. Eyring. "I am part of the fellowship of
the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The
decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look
back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed, my
present makes sense, and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with
low living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tainted
visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer
need pre-eminence, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I
don't have to be first, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I
now live by faith, lean on his presence, am uplifted by prayer, and
labor with power. My face is set, my gait is fast and my goal is Heaven.
My road is narrow, my way is rough. My companions are few, my guide is
reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised,
detoured, lured away, divided, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in
the fare of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate
at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander
in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I
have stayed up, stored up and paid up for the cause of Christ. I must go
till He stops me. And when He returns for His own, He will have no
problem recognizing me. MY BANNER WILL BE CLEAR"
Love,
