Can you believe that I’ve been gone a month? A month ago I reported to the MTC. It honestly doesn’t seem like it’s been that
long. The time really does fly out here.
Life out here is getting better and easier. I’m getting more used to living here, and you
were right, my living standards will be completely different when I get
home. They are already different. You’d be stunned at how we live, and it’s not
even that bad when you look around.
Even though I love being here it’s pretty tough. Only mentally though, mostly because of the
things that I see every day. I’m not
going to tell you, but we are blessed.
Like I said in my email, I got to baptize Joseph Garwolo Ndorbor. When he wanted me to baptize him I was
amazed. I didn’t teach him that much,
most of the teaching was done before I got here. He had walked into church on a random day and
said he wanted to get baptized, a couple weeks later I baptized him. That’s a lot of how we get investigators. It’s not that hard to get people to come to
church. Like I said so many times,
teaching people here is so easy.
We have two people we are teaching, Milton Kupla and Daniel
Toe. They are super old. They are little cute old men. I love going to their house. They are always happy to see us and so eager
to listen to us. It brightens my day.
At Sunday dinner talk about D & C 4 with Derek. Make sure he actually listens. Have Dad study it. You study it. Have Derek read it. Then have a family home evening lesson about
it. Have Derek memorize it. As a missionary, everything you see and learn
from it totally applies out here. We’ve
asked a lot of people to start doing family home evenings. At your FHE’s will you go through Preach My
Gospel with Derek? Learn the lessons
that are in there, it is such a great tool for us and for me. Reading it before I came out here was such a
great idea. It’s helped me so much during
lessons already. Have Derek read it and
when he is older have him study it. You
can do this as a family at dinner on Sunday’s.
I’m not going to lie, I miss Sunday dinners a lot. It’s really bad on Sundays, but it’s ok. I’m here, I’m doing what I’m supposed to be
doing and I love it. I’m having such a
great time. No need to worry about
me! I know you are, but I’m doing really
good. Heavenly Father is taking care of
me.
I love you guys so much.
I love you so much. Tell everyone
“How da day?” for me J Give some hugs out on my behalf.
Love you lots! Miss
you tons!
