What’s up everybody!!!!!
Dad, I really appreciate the football updates and keeping me
in the loop. I hope I don’t miss another crazy Iron Bowl this year. I always
joke with my bishop that we only like each other because we have to since he's
a diehard USC fan.
Tyler is going to Portugal?! That’s freaking awesome!! He will
be a stud!! Hey, I ran into a lady from Carlsbad at church yesterday and she
asked me where I was from and she said, "No way!! I graduated from Grissom
High School!!" Once again, very, very small world in the church. And guess
what? My first companion, Elder Kyle Thompson, Was just married on Saturday in
the New Port Beach Temple! And he's only been off his mission for 6 months!! I
think I’m going to give myself a few years of freedom first before I sell my
soul to some crazy lady. haha.
How is the weather in Bama? Right now in Escondido it’s a
brisk, breathtaking 78 degrees Fahrenheit. We actually have a pot with some
sunflowers on our balcony at the apartment because the weather is so stinking
nice here even in the middle of November, it’s crazy. Hey mom, I’ve used some
Essential Oils the other day. I had a headache at like midnight and so I put
like 6 drops of Peppermint on my head, it wasn’t till I started rubbing it
around that I realized that a little goes a long way. Then I learned a great
lesson about washing your hands after using it too, because I scratched my eye
because it was itchy. After that I felt like my head from the inside out was on
fire, but I forgot all about the pain that my headache was causing me and was
able to fall asleep after it set in
after a while. haha
So we were able to meet with Elder Teh of the Seventy last
Tuesday. He was awesome! He was so personable, he took the time to get to know
each of us and during all of his presentations he wasn’t just talking to us
from the pulpit, but was down in the pews with us getting us all involved in
discussion. It was an awesome spiritual drop kick to the face. I don’t think
anyone slept the entire time, haha.
This week we were able to teach all of our investigators.
Blake, Demetrio, and Nick. They are all progressing and two have dates set for
baptism in the next few weeks! I’m stoked for them!!!! And one of our
potentials that we met actually came to church yesterday, Miguel (the one we
had a lesson set up with, he wasn’t there, then we found him on the street).
The work here is rolling along smoothly, but were not letting it make us lazy.
We are still thrusting with our sickles with all our might, putting our hands
to the plow, and aren’t looking back.
I want to share with you one scripture, 2 Tim 1:7-8. It
talks about how our Heavenly Father has not given us the spirit of fear, but
has given us power. And to be not ashamed of the testimony of the Savior that
is in you. Never be afraid to stand up for what you know to be true, we are not
entitled to fear, but power. Remember that.
I love you all, can’t wait to see everyone next month!!!!!!
