Hey Mom! I found something
for Christmas a member showed me. It is an owl necklace from deseretbook.com
that has a CTR thing and on the back it has "o be wise, what can I say
more." There ya go, now you can get me something for Christmas.
That is wonderful that you
are all studying about Isaiah. That is one of the subjects I will study when I
get home. We have study time here but when we are trying to keep our
investigators in mind, it is hard to find time to get into Isaiah. You'll have
to tell me all about it later.
AND I can't believe David is
leaving in like 3 weeks! I think the time just keeps flying by so I never think
of him as actually leaving soon. But I am so proud of him! I tell EVERYONE
about him and yesterday I had a birthday party for him. I was the only one in
attendance, but it's okay. President said I just need to find a member that can
Skype and I can talk to him. He didn't say a date so I will ask him next week.
I think he doesn't really care. But do you know how to do Skype? Get on my
computer to do it. If you can't figure it out, call one of my friends and they
will help you. :) Or anyone who knows anything about technology. :) That call
will be super David centered. :) YAY FOR MISSIONARIES! Then we can all chat on
Christmas. And mother, May was not THAT long ago. You'll be fine waiting
another month. :) But it will be cool because transfers are on the 18th of
December (they cut it to 5 weeks because of Christmas) so if I get transferred,
me and Dave will both be starting a new area at the same time!
Anywho-Mom, I saw a new Ensign
last night. Will I be blessed with my high maintenance copy anytime soon? I
know I seem like a brat but I just don't want to trash it like all my other
ones. I may or may not be an Ensign addict. We saw the new one last night at a
member’s house and both of us said, "Oh my gosh is that the new Ensign!"
Just like if it had been the new edition of something cool. They laughed at us
and we said, "You know you’re a missionary when you freak out for the new
Ensign."
The pictures from Leadership
and Sister Training are already on the blog? Wow! That was fast! I am afraid to
say that when everyone else gets their cameras out, I say, Oh, I'll just get
that off Facebook later. I'm sorry that my lack of pictures have resulted from
being paparatzied. (We can't figure out how to spell that. This would be a great
opportunity to look it up on Google. Oh wait.....) But in my defense I just
spent like $1,000,000 on making 6 CDs of pictures for you guys so....You can
get your missionary pictures from the blog. :) You probably see more of my
pictures from the blog than I do! I can't wait to see them all in our mission
DVD that we hopefully will be getting soon! I love the DVDs! You still have
mine from last year right? I can't wait to watch it when I get back because
when I watched it the first time, I was 2 days in the field and didn't know
anyone, and now I know everyone!
Yes, I can talk to Fannie
when Christmas rolls around. Por supuesto! And Mother, yes I did get my capitan
en Jefe! (Starts with a J because it’s Spanish Mom!) That means that at our
mission conference, I get a pin and a certificate. Then eventually, President
is taking me to dinner and will work with me for 4 hours. Yup. Terrifyingly awesome
right?!?!
Well, now for my awesome spiritual
insight of the letter. Brace yourselves because it is AWESOME! I was reading in
the Ensign from July 2011 and there is an article about choosing happiness and
it tells the story of the last supper and how Christ (John 16:33) says that
there will be tribulation in the world, but be of good cheer, I have overcome
the world. Christ was about to suffer in Gethsemane ,
be betrayed, crucified, spit upon, suffer a trial in which Barrabus would be
let go. What was there to be happy about? But he was happy because he knew that
at this point, with imminent doom lingering towards Him, he had won. The plan
for our redemption was just around the corner. He wasn't thinking about all the
bad things, he was thinking that in a few short days, He would be resurrected
and save us all. He knew that Satan had been defeated. How amazing right! I
think that we usually think Christ might have been scared and nervous about
what was coming for Him, and I am sure he probably was, but His predominant
emotion was joy because He knew the end result! He also reminds us that we will
have tribulations. Christ didn't come to save us from tribulation but to wipe
away our tears when we have them. Anywho, AMAZING article!
Well, the time has come
again to bid thee adieu. (How do you spell that?) My back hurts from sitting.
Weird right? Anywho! Love you all! Going to go make felt flowers now!
