How is everything going with the family. How is grandma doing! Grandma Harley you cant scare me like that. I am so gratful that you saw the signs and got to the hopsital as soon as possible. I am praying for you everynight. ANd all of you everynight BY NAME! Yes my prayers get a little long sometimes... Know that I am thinking about you always and pray for your success. I love you all so much.
Talking to you was the best thing in the whole world!!! Man that goodbye was rough. I cried and cried... But dont worry i got myself together and finished out the day strong. We had a marvelous christmas holiday. I am so thankful for the memebers here and for all that they did for us. They made christmas wonderful!!! Man I sure do miss you though.
I just want to let you guys know though, I LOVE being here. I love being a missionary and I love sharing the gospel with people. After talking to you I was feeling a little homesick, okay lets be honest here, I was feeling a lot homesick... but the next day we had an appointment with our investigator Gustave. Roger left for the Holidays but Gustave was still here and he said he could meet with us. When we asked him how he was doing he said he was great because he had God in his life. He began talking about time and how short life is. He said that we need to make sure that we are living everyday in accordance with what the lord wants because we never know what is going to happen. He says "We eat today and leave the tomorrow up to the Lord." Meaning that everyday is special to god and as we follow him then we need not worry about what will come tomorrow, because if we are living the gospel of jesus christ we know that whatever god has planned for us will be for our good. Come what may and love it. It was the perfect introduction for our lesson we had planned, the plan of salvation. We talked about how much good comes from this gospel and that through this gospel can we find TRUE and EVERLASTING joy and happiness. We talked about the family and of course I got a little emotional... I am so thankful for this gospel. And for this wonderful plan that Heavenly Father has prepared for us!!!! We have the perfect plan made for us and as long as we are trying our best, we can know that everything is going to be okay. Everything will be great.
Random Story!
We went to a members house yesterday for dinner. They are friends with President Kosak. Remember how I told you all about the Rap that I made up for my spiritual thought in District meeting... well... somehow president got a hold of it and then sent it to this member. So after dinner i had to stand up and do my rap... it was hilarious... Man I am a weirdy... Oh well. There is nothing we can do about it.
Well my wonderful family. I love you all so much and am sooo thankful for you!! Have a wonderful new years. We are having a party here with all our investigators. We will be watching the Biography of President Monson and talking about new year resolutions. It starts at 3 in the afternoon and ends at 5! MAN! That is the way to ring in the new year!!! haha.
Love you!!!
