Hello! I am
glad you are having a good old time in the best place ever. I know I always get
real excited for summer. but dont worry. I am REALLY excited for the summer out
here. It already is great. It is awesome because there are like 5000 people on
the streets. So we meet some pretty sweet people. The only bad things is that
some people dont know how to wear clothes. sometimes feel like just
yelling at them it honestly makes me frustrated. but I will try to stay calm
haha.
I am
glad to hear that Braden and Mandy are okay in Oklahoma after that huge
tornado. I dont know much about it except that it was bad and then everything
else that you have told me. That is really cool that they were able to help a
lot with the clean up. That is a really cool experience
The weather
here has been interesting as well. Yes there were a lot of thunderstorms and it
was actually freezing too. But the first storm was one of the funnes days on my
mission. It wasnt too bad outside and we went to buy flowers for the Branch Presidents
wife (so they both would love the missionaries) we walked in got the
flowers then as we were about to leave it started POURING like a lot, like the
streets literally were flowing with streams and there were 3 flash flood
warnings. The flower guy asked us if we wanted to stay until it stopped but we
told him we had to go. He looked at us like we were crazy then we sprinted to
the churchin the rain which was about 2 or 3 blocks to get there and then
walked in literally drenched in rain and gave Pres. Sanchez the flowers for his
wife. He loves us now ;) And it felt like we just went through a water park.
Also this
week was really good. By the way I got your packages and I LOVE THEM.
Elder wood and I are both really grateful for the talks as well. SO Thank you
so much!
We have
been teaching a man named mitchell and his baptism is next week. When he was a
child he fell from the 3rd floor so now he has some brain damage. But he is
literally one of the funniest men ever and someone I will never forget. He has
had interviews and is now ready to be baptized and he wants to so bad. He got
mad at us because we had to push it back a week. It is really cool as well
because his mom is catholic but she loves it when we come over and is always
very thankful that we are there. She too is excited for mitchell to be
baptized. We truly believe that one day she will know that is the step she
needs to take.
Another
cool thing that has happened this week. I dont know if you remeber Sherley. The
9 year old girl that we just baptized. Her mom is a recent convert and very
strong in the church, also the nicest lady ever and the dad has been a member
ever since he was young but has also been inactive ever since he was young. The
miracle is that because of sherley's baptism he is returning back to church,
And not just returning but coming back strong. right now the parents are
seperated but he is working very hard to change his life and do what is right
and yesterday they were all at church together. It made us SO happy to see life
evidence of how the gospel blesses familes.
Well I got
to go but know that the savior lives and loves us. He truly cares for each and
every one of us and we can all change and become better> I have seen that so
much this week. in the words of president Monson "we need to remember that
men can change" it is cool and it is because of Christ :) Love you all
Have a great memorial day! :)
Love Elder
