Subject: Re: Won't you BE MINE!!!
hey family! oh man thanks for the letters. oh dayton i forgot to write last time how much what you wrote meant to me thanks man. i dont know if you remember mom and dad but that talk by elder holland in the mtc that he gave was about how the apostles dropped everything!!!! everything!!! to serve the Lord. for real best talk ive ever heard in my life and 2nd best talk in the world. 1st is the sermon on the mount haha. but yeah i look back at my notes so much from that talk and oh my gosh the spirit is just as strong when i read it as if elder holland was there giving it in his super powerfully spiritual way. one thing that hit me super hard was that both times he was at the mtc he told us how much his mission meant to him and how that no other mission has meant more to any other missionary in the world. but he also wants us to have an even better mission than that but he doesnt thing we will. to me that shows true love of an apostle. wanting to have us have better experiences than he did. ive noticed that when i think about my mission in that way. that it is the best mission in the world and that no body else could have a better mission not even if they tried haha it makes the mission that much better. it truely is so amazing i cant even explain it. every day a miracle happens.
elder burgener left today and now im in a threesome until tomorrow night when my new comp comes. i still dont know who yet haha. but yeah the time with him flew and i keep thinking of the scripture in genesis when it says Jacob worked for rachel 7 years but they seemed but a few days for the love he had for her. Im pretty sure that i love Christ more than Jacob loved Rachel and i can testify that the time FLIES by!!! oh and mom with the journal and me keeping a good record of all the things that are happening read 3 Nefi 7:17 and put my name in place of Nefi. that should answer your question :) haha. also my favorite missionary scripture right now is 3 Nefi 5:13 i wish i wouldve done that one for my placque haha oh well. oh yeah mom you can totally put those pictures on facebook. it would actually make me happy haha. dad that stinks about how your managers keep bailing on you. but like you said thats probably just one of the joys of having your own business. haha i hope you all have fun on your trip to arizona this week!! that will be way cool. oh yeah the weather here is a ton warmer haha like im going to die in the summer. the sun is so dang strong haha. oh so yesterday i ate something very very interesting for lunch. and i swear to you that i am not making any of this up. so what we ate was called morsia (i think) but what it is is cow intestines cooked in pigs blood. haha and they told us like 4 days before too that that was what we were gonna eat and i was like when in rome right haha. but yeah so we get there and im not even kidding it looks like fish poop like when you gut it and have to scrape it out haha not kidding. like that nasty black dirt color haha. but yeah i threw some on my plate and grabbed a tortilla and boom chomped it up and it was actually decent. like there was enough chile that all i could taste was chile and intestines haha but yeah that is my food experience this week. oh so today for valentines day slash p day we ate at a chinese buffet haha in mexico!!!! it was awesome but i heard a ton of songs that i like that i cant think about haha. oh with conrad. have the missionaries come over with him. i never really wanted to trust the missionaries with my friends but they have a calling from Heavenly Father to do just that... Teach!! so yeah if the missionarys seem like they are good workers bring em over.
but yeah gotta go!! have a good valentines day!! and week haha
