how are all y'all. i am doing dandy. this week has been a good one. we have had a lot that went down.
but
first YEAH FOR EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUTURE
MISSIONARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so pleased that you have decided to
do this. so now that you have decided READ PREACH MY GOSPEL. i wish i
would have read it more before the mission. it will help you so much. so
during your personal scripture study incorporate PMG in there and it
will do wonders for you. and the other suggestion i had was talk to your
friends about it at school. one time brayden and i had a gospel
discussion in the library. it was one of my favorite memories of our
friendship. see if Haley wants to. and then dont date boys at all. ha
how is school going mom are the kids as funny as
ever. i have some funny kid stories for this weeks email. dad how is
work. busy for the holidays i am assuming. man it is weird not working
another Christmas at the HOB Lob. i love that place. i really do. if you
guys go in there give them a shout out for me.
so this week i ate the healthiest meal i have ever
had in my life. i thought i was going to be exalted right there. it was
kind of gross though. ha. it was with this these members in our branch.
the brother has cancer and they are eating really healthy to help his
body. and the wife is kind of a hippy. for example we had tofu and rice
and beans and kale chips. yeah i thought of you mom. we helped them put
up their TEMPO which is a cover for the car. and then they fed us. and
it was the second time that i have watched a YANNI concert haha i didn't
know how much i loved him until now,
then i went on a split with elder grant. he was my
first distict leader and now he is my zone leader! quel chance! it was
good. we went to richards house. he told us about the hockey match that
he played haha. he is hard to teach because he loves to talk. a lot.
but it was a good lesson we talked about alma 32 and faith.
then we had stake conference this week. saturday
night we had the adult session. it was so good. the stake president
after 10 years got released and so we have 2 members of the 70 here.
elder pieper and elder smith. and we have mission conference on tuesday. super excited for that. but saturday
night elder pieper called up all the missionaries and we sang called to
serve. it was as if there was a chorus of angels behind us. i have
never felt like that before. it was cool using music and missionary work
at the same time. then sunday
we had the general session. i tried really hard to pay attention but
there was this little girl that sat next to me and she was so funny.
haha she told me how her favorite color is violet and then she named all
the colours of the rainbow. then she looked me in the eyes and said. do
you know what the fastest animal is. the cheetah. it is my favorite.
then she read a book with me. haha i had a good time.
then we went back to laval to work. we stopped at
the church to eat dinner. and there was a family there. there was this
little girl there who loves the missionaries so i played tag with her.
it was fun haha. she was practicing her english and I practiced my
french.
so as i said we have mission conference tuesday
and i am super excited. i have been thinking of questions i want to
ask. i have been reading in mosiah as of late. and the words of king
benjiman are in my mind. let us serve as many people as we can. because
while we serve we show love to our neighbour and our God, who gave us
life. something has come to my mind lately. a lot of missionaries are so
concerned about the rules that they forget about why they are here. it
reminds me of the Pharisees at the time of Christ. they wanted to look
good and didn't care about their fellowman. it is important to live the
higher law. to do things out of love, not to look good. i love you all
and pray for you everyday. good luck and seek those missionary
opportunities
