I
will tell you all a little bit about my companion ELDER HATTAWAY. He is
an allstar. i am serious. he can play every single sport, quite well i
might add. He was companions with elder shumway in the mtc. So he has
had to deal with two elders from the 32nd ward. How neat is that. I
really like him. he is a hard worker. We have already had a great time
together. He hails from the land of Georgia. The peach pride state. He
is extremely good at puzzles. i have found a new addiction. Puzzles my
friends are dangerous. once you start that is all you can think about.
Dont worry we were still working hard doing missionary work but once
planning was over we were attacking some puzzles. It is great for
clearing the mind. I have really enjoyed myself while doing puzzles.
Anyways my comp is great and we are having fun
this
week was a fun one. we had a couple discouragements but you know those
come and they make us stronger. A wise woman once sang, What doesn't
kill you makes you stronger. I think she was singing about lifting
weights and such, but it relates to the mission as well. Sometimes
things come your way and they make you sad. But even when we are sad we
can be happy because we know that these things are given to us for our
good. We learn and grow and become more like our Father in Heaven. I
have learned this time and time again on my mission.
I
went on an exchange with a really young missionary this week. It was
fun. It made me think of the beginning of my mission and how i felt. I
have come a long way! i can speak french now that is kind of cool. I may
not know the answer to every question but i do know that God loves His
children and that answer is good enough for me.
I
received a strange call yesterday. A woman called and asked if she
could talk with me for a little while. I had no idea who she was. She
asked me some doctrinal questions and i was able to answer them by
testifying. That was about the only thing i could do was to testify. She
then asked if we could visit her and discuss more about the nature of
God. It was really interesting to see that i did not have to have a
perfect answer. I have never really been good with words. I try my best
but more often than not i look back on what i said and wish i could have
changed it. But as i looked back on this particular instance the spirit
told me that what i said did not come from me. It came from Heavenly
Father and that His answers are perfect for the woman with which i was
speaking. That was a really cool experience for me.
I
hope you are all doing well. You are all in my prayers every night. It
has been just swell to be a missionary. I am so glad i am here. Thank
you for your support
Godspeed
