Hey Mom,
That Raspberry jam looks GOOD! Cool to see
you having success with your garden. I'll be honest, I still don't
understand your love for it, but I understand well enough that I will be
helping a lot out with that when I am home. So, I would be more than
happy to take a name for you, but I won't be going to the temple for a
while, probably not for 3-5 months. Get them done as soon as you can. No
need to wait on me lol. And thanks again for sending my email to Elder
Mortenson. I'm sure he is happy, especially since you sent him a cake
and mountain dew. I'm sure the kid is set for the week now, since he has
all that he needs to be happy lol. So, yeah President Lewis is leaving
and I'm alright. We have seen each other quite a lot this transfer (good
reasons not bad), so we were able to talk a lot about what's going on
with the mission. He is hoping that the Ipads come in soon, and he has
called an additional assistant, my favorite companion, Elder Russel, to
help the new president get used to everything. He will have 3
assistants and he [Pres. Lewis] is also pretty sure that he is going to make a LOT of
changes in leadership next transfer, because his views of what
missionaries need right now may be different. [President Lewis] and I are great and
we talk surprisingly a lot now. I feel a lot closer to him and will be
very sad to see him go, but it's all good.
Our investigators are
progressing well. The problem right now is church, but that will come in
due time. There is not too much to report on this week. Everything is
running smoothly. I did get your package and it is awesome. Thank you
VERY much. I'm sorry that I don't have too much to write about. I have
been keeping up with World Cup, thanks to the members. I love these
people haha. They know I loved soccer and they provide us meals when the
games are on haha and, of course, they don't turn it off, so we just
call it a tender mercy haha. We always share a scripture during dinner.
There was one time when we were leaving, it was USA vs. Ghana and we had
to get going to our next appointment, so I was closing with a scripture
and I decided to share something short and sweet so I shared Moses 1:39.
As I read the scripture to them, "For Behold, it is my work and my
glory to bring to pass the eternal life of- GOLASO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Out of
the corner of my eye I saw Brooks make that second goal. You can imagine
how hard everyone was laughing. The Spirit was still there and I think
he was laughing too in a sense. God definitely has a sense of humor
haha. Know that I miss the times when we would all laugh like that
whenever I was telling a story or we were hearing Benjamin making his
hilarious comments, Dad's bad puns, and your smiles as well, Mom. That's
something that I do miss and look forward to when I come home. I love
you Mom.
