Brandon is going well, I'm enjoying the service out here. I like Elder Griffin, but I miss Elder Owens in some aspects as well. We just clicked well, which I didn't think would happen before we served together. He sent me an email today.
Do you have any Christmas Ideas for me? Last year I remember clocking in really late on getting Dad his present. Earrings maybe? I don't know.
Ok, well, I'll get started with my day. So here are the questions
Do you remember doing that? ( memorizing and reading before you were 12)
I remember people attempting to convince me to memorize before I was 12.. I knew the fourth Article of Faith for a long long long time. It wasn't till I entered into the MTC that I realized what it was all about.
Do you have any gift ideas for family members? ( I think you have Kamas this year)
What am I supposed to do for her? I can't even find anything that I want to do for anyone
Do you still wear the boots you got when you came?
I've only wore those boots a few times, they're good and everything but they're so heavy. I miss the boots that I have back home. I would say that if he has a good pair of boots (probably warm work boots) he should bring those, otherwise I don't think it will matter all that much if he buys some back home or out here. 90 percent of the time when I need boots, I just wear some black cover-the-ankle (I don't even know what that's called) church shoes that have some insulation and good grip, that I got at a thrift store for two dollars. those are good for anything except maybe service. Sometimes my feet are just cold.
Hows Sandra? Bro Olenick? Maria?
Sandra is doing just wonderful, I haven't talked to the other two for a week or so. I thought Maria would have come to church but she didn't :/
Hows the weather?
The weather is good, it's still right around freezing, sometimes above, sometimes below.
Whats the best DL or ZL experience you've had so far?
I really liked being a district leader in Brandon because all of the missionaries that I worked with were in Brandon. The best part was district meetings that were very spiritual and prepared for where you could see that everyone was very active and involved. Being a zone leader is fun too, I like the level of trust and the information that you get, also you can contact more other missionaries than before, but It seems that I rarely have time to do so. I also like to go on exchanges.
I also know that The office has a bunch of old missionary stuff, what's there and the quality of such I couldn't tell you, but they do have some.
I've been glad to get to meet all of these people in Brandon, we have a bunch of exchanges coming up in the next few weeks, hopefully something exciting happens. :) Also I love it here, I could totally stay here the rest of my mission
Other than that, I know that this gospel is true. It's worked in my life and I've seen it work in others. I am a child of God. So are you. Isn't that enough to help us be good, to reach a little farther, and see our true potential?
I would like to remind you of a line in my Patriarchal blessing about you, which paraphrased is "you have been given kind and loving parents who love the Lord with all their hearts" a literal snapshot of what heavenly father thinks of you. Keep up the good work.
I love you!
PS.
If I'm allowed to watch a family movie for christmas, which should I watch? I was thinking maybe big hero six? heard lots of good things about that one.
PPS.
You're the greatest!!
