Tanner's 2nd Letter:: 3/6/2012

Subject: Hola Mi Familia!

So ya sorry about last week.... I was kind of new to the whole
emailing thing and a lot of crazy stuff happened that I dont really
have time to talk about. The biggest reason though was because we
heard that Elder Holland was speaking at the Tuesday night devotional.
So if we wanted a good seat we had to be there really early so I was
kind of rushed and excited so I dont even know what was going on. But
the good news is that we got an awesome seat and man was Elder
Hollands talk great. He basically talked about how Missions will truly
make a difference in our whole life and that not a day goes by that he
does not think of his mission. The biggest thing he said that impacted
me the most is that he told us that we are Gods investigator and that
god feels the same way about us as we will about our investigator.
Like when we want our investigator to pray harder. God wants us to
pray a little harder. There is so much to say and I wish I could share
more but I dont have time :)
So I am so happy to here from you guys at home It sounds like
everything thing is going well there. Especially that Braden and Mandy
are having a boy!!... I knew it all along :) haha but really I loved
hearing from you today and hearing about the family sounds like you
all had fun together sunday night although I know it just wasnt as fun
without Uncle Tanner there.
So since my letter kind of got cut off last week I guess i will
tell you about what has been happening here. It is so crazy that it
has already been two weeks. Like seriously so much has happened that I
cannot even remember but at the same time it feels like you just
dropped me off. So to tell you the basic. My companion is Elder
Draper. He is a funny dude.. haha he is kind of like a Drama queen but
not in a bad way. He just makes me laugh at all the funny stories he
has. But we get along well and work well together. Our teaching is
also imroving too. Our first friday here we had to teach an
investigator and I am not going to lie.. It was a bad lesson. We had
to do it in spanish and it was pretty much just silent the whole time.
But everyday since then we have had to teach and we improve so much
every time. It is really amazing. One thing I have learned here is how
awesome it is to teach. Like seriously nothing brings the spirit more
into my life than when I get to teacch. I could be having a hard day
and then I go and practice teaching and Immediatley my day is turned
around. Also our district is awesome! we have four sisters and four
elders every one of them is awesome. I think I will have to tell you
more about them next week because I only have like a minute left....
But do not even worry about me> our zone is so awesome. the night i
got here I got the most hugs i have ever got in my life.. seriously we
have the best zone. But my time is up and i got to go. I might send
you a letter tonight when i have time to write one so you can get it
tomorrow with a few more things i wanted to talk about.
Love you all so much
Elder Boyer :)
