FAMILIA Y AMIGOS!!!
Can you believe i've been gone for 2 months! I can't! Most of my district
left this morning for el campo misional! and My companion and two more elders
head out in the morning and I head off to Salt Lake at 8am...So if anyone wants
to hear the Gospel in broken Spanish that's where I'll be! Oh and I'm uber
pumped for it - I met on of my teachers yesterday and she said the WORLD is my
mission! How cool is that?! I guess it's cause I get to do online contacting as
well at the visitor's center...not entirely sure but I'll fillyou in next week
(or I will try cause i'll be in the field).
OHHH- GOT MY TRAVEL PLANS LAST FRIDAY!!! Soo here's the dealio familio
(that's completely wrong but oh well!) - I am in training all this week and have
class until Next Monday (the 16th) at 4.30pm. After that i eat dinner, shower
and look nice for my mission president, then I go to bus for the airport at
8.30PM (yes, that is monday night - hope you are writing this down) and my
flight leaves Salt Lake at 12.45AM (yes, Tuesday morning) and this is all Utah
time so subtract an hour and that's when I'm leaving.
Man am I so pumped for the field! We had infield orientation this last
Friday and they basically lay down the law of how awesome and hard and worth it
everything is! Vale la pena they say! They stress working with member's and the
ward - so we ALL have a responsibility to share this message with our friends
and family, but trust the missionaries and have them share it - that is what
they are there to do - TO HELP!! They are fully devoted to Heavenly Father and
helping bring his children to repentance and the waters of baptism...but then
it's not over. The missionaries teach so that after baptism, the new members can
know what to do. To go to the Lord with everything - thanks, sorrows, and
anything and he will help through the wonderful gift received at baptism of the
HOLY GHOST - he can be anyone's constant companion if they first have that
change of heart and gain a desire to follow the Christ's example and be baptized
into his chuch. It is amazing! That's what I'm dong - SOO COOL!!
Notes of randomness and love:
-Kiah - sorry I can't keep your birthday straight...I said it off last week

-B-man - hope you are having a blast at scout camp! I want to hear all

Well all - it's about time to start laundry and pack but I love you all and
I'm grateful for all of your support and love! thank you for helping me to be
who I am and helping me to learn and grow! Just remember we can overcome all of
our faults and pains if we are willing to turn to our Savior..Yes, it may take
time but he wants to help us learn but I know he will ALWAYS HELP if you just
get down on your knees and ask! This Church is true and I know it with all my
heart!
Les Amo!
