Hey beautiful family. Much to write today hope i have the time.
since mom just sent some questions, I meant a cd of piano music hymns
only if its possible. and allred christmas maybe is in itunes and you
can make a cd, or it is in my drawer or in the cupboards in the kitchen.
Scripture of the week is 2 nephi 9:39
39
O, my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in atransgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that bcunning one. Remember, to be ccarnally-minded is ddeath, and to be espiritually-minded is flife geternal.
. Dad if you get rid of max I am
not coming home. Max has a great life, especially compared to all the
dogs i see here that have no home and eat garbage to survive. and
especially compared to this little dog i saw this week that got torn
apart by a bigger dog and i only hope survived. Some questions, can
someone find the address for breyandi andrada, you can talk to her
through face book or something courts, she has written me a couple times
through email but im not allowed to respond there and i don´t have her
address. Thanks for your wonderful stories. I´ll try to cut some things
in order to write some thoughts about curtis smith. but first of all we
had another baptizm this week. The little brother of stefhany, who
pretty much her whole family is baptizing. He is only 8, but he has a
ton of faith and is a real good kid. He was late to sacrament meeting
and that was kinda scary for me cuz if he doesn´t get confirmed its not a
full baptizm haha. But we did it at the end of the meeting and i gave
him the holy ghost. Also we had a miracle this week. This man named
miguel we have been teaching for a while, has been real difficult,
always asks tons of strange questions about deep doctrinal stuff. He has
been talking with missionaries for a long time though. His whole family
got baptized like 2 years ago, except his wife got baptized like 3
months ago (finally could cuz got legally married). But he has a son in
the field on a mission, and his other son in the mtc which i talked a
little about in my last letter i think. But He also has trouble with
drinking with his friends. not like addiction just like custom. but on
friday we had a way spiritual lesson with him, and we promised him some
things we felt to. ( i decided i should always use ¨we¨ when i talk
about the work, cuz i can´t do anything by myself without my other 4
companions) But he expressed a repented heart, and accepted to baptized
for this saturday. He attended all three hours of church on sunday also
and is really getting on the right path. We are meeting with him daily. I
have faith that it will happen. Dads right that it is funner to teach
than to knock (we don´t knock doors in this mission much though). the
story about the man who rejected the missionaries and then one day
listen for 5 minutes that reminds me of this guy we knocked one day just
for fun and he just says bible, its bible i just know it and slammed
the door. but we went one more time and his greeted us and even came
out, but then he realized we were missionaries and it was the same
thing, but i got my foot in the door this time and expressed how
important this is for him. haha, one day. ok 5 minutes for curtis, just
ideas i don´t have time to write a well thought out coherent letter.
I will always remember the scout camp in camp loll where he made me
assistant scout leader to him, to help watch over the younger scouts,
and especially playing zee vu plai (don´t know how to spell it) a french
drinking game but just passing cups around haha. and also the astronomy
merit badge and looking at the stars in the night with his awesome
telescope. Also he really cares about every single one of the scouts and
helps them succeed and pushes them to not settle for what they know is
best. He even cared personally for my, and said i could come to his
dental office to learn some stuff about the profesion i would like to
do. He will make a great stake young mens president, don´t know if there
is anyone else dedicated like he is. He trusts the scouts too. ok thats
it for now, awesome that imma get a package. should be faster now that
im in trujillo to get it physically too. don´t worry too much about
specific things i have said, i don´t need anything. I loved the letter
from whitney, if i have time after i write president i will write her
personally thanks for writing whit, loved your letter and the love you
have for courts. Love how much love our family has for each other. I
have the best family in the world. Have a great week.
