Hello family, hello friends. The
past couple of weeks have been pretty hard, and as you may already be able to
tell, the pain that I am, and we, as a family, are experiencing, is going to be
here for a while.
But I’m a glass half full kinda
guy, so I’m going to try to write a positive letter of some of the good things
that happened this week, to try to experience that good ol’ fashioned joy
again.
One amazing thing that has happened
in my life these past couple of weeks is the crazy amount of comforting emails
I have received. Every email has really meant a lot and has done much to
lighten this load and lift my spirits.
The mission has been going well. We
have been hard at work visiting people and teaching them about this wonderful
gospel. Unfortunately because of the rainy season, people are kinda getting to
busy to talk to us... But we have been doing some great work in the fields (literally
cultivating big fields...) and in the church!
We have had a couple of firesides
and we have had a lot of people who attended. We watched 17 Miracles and told
them about the message of that film. It really is a great movie.
I got to slackline! And, might I
say, I still got it...
And we had district conference,
which was great. President Msane is such a powerful man. If he’s not an apostle
one day, then I will be danged... The topic was on establishing eternal
families and the message really spoke to me. Half way through the meeting I was
disappointed to find that my hopes and dreams of living the single life, on the
road and exploring America for a little while after the mish’ were crushed by a
desire to find a nice girl and make it to the temple ASAP... LOL! The Holy Ghost
does some WEIRD things... Just glad I don’t need to worry about that for
another two years.
Another thing that stuck out was a
great appreciation that our family has been sealed for time and all eternity. We
can all live together for ETERNITY. What a blessing. I love you all, I miss you
all, and I love my mission.
