Dear Dad,
It's going pretty good! My Saints will make it
through haha. I spoke in sacrament this past Sunday! And we sang Silent night I
even did it in Samoan. People were crying left and right. I think the blessings
of the temple enrich your life by doing work for people who become angels that
will bear you up. The more temple work you do, the bigger your team gets. Not
that it is a competition, but something that will make you super happy about in
Heaven! The temple helps us role-play for the Celestial Kingdom and helps us
understand our purpose as Children of God! Sounds like Basketball is going
really well for Ethan and Noah!
1. So what is the news on transfers? Elder Misi and I
are staying together. Elder Egbert across the way is becoming the New Zone
leader in our Zone so that is pretty sweet!
2. How has Elder Misi been to work with? Is he getting sent to
another area? Or is he going to a stay with you? He is
pretty good to work with. President's email this week told me that I need to be
working on him to get him to enjoy the work. Crazy to believe he can
trust me that much! He is staying with me.
3. Did you guys have a Zone Conference? Have you had an
interview with your Mission President? We have had Zone training, but we have a half
mission Christmas conference next week so that's pretty exciting and no
interviews yet!
4. How was Elder Mafi's last week? It was pretty
good. It will kind of be good to start with Elder Misi though so we can get
some of the leaving missionary habits out of our brains.
5.
Did you get a
blanket from Walmart? I did and it is working great!
6. Can you tell me who has sent you letters that are not of the
immediate family so when they tell me they sent you a note I am not surprised?
Like a lady who lives by President Jardine told me she sent you a card? Misty Anderson
sent me one and the only other
ones I have really gotten are from Jay Schroeder.
7.
How is the
Guitar coming? Still trying to find more time to pick at it, but it will work
out.
8. How are you health-wise? Any issues? Health wise I am
doing good. I am working on eating better in the apartment so that I can try
and cut some weight off and just be in better shape
9. How are the investigators? Are any progressing towards baptism?
How is your teaching skills? The investigators are doing great. We really are
working on getting a couple of them married so that they can because they want
to really bad. My teaching skills are pretty good. Sometimes some of Elder
Mafi's lessons or thoughts during lessons are really confusing so I have to try
and clear those up, but so far pretty good. I am working on asking better
questions
10. How is your district and what did you teach them this week? The district is
doing great apparently it was full of leadership this past transfer one of the
sisters is going to be a sister training leader! Crazy huh?
Pretty good week! We have mostly just been
trying to meet with our investigators about 3 time a week and a couple of them
fell through, but just because people had work. We had a couple member present
lessons that took care of about 3 of our investigators concerns! That was
pretty sweet! Thanks for the thought Dad!
I'm gonna miss y'all during this season!
