So another week has slipped under the radar, if this keeps up easter will be here soon, then my birthday, then fourth of july, then thanksgiving, then x-mas, then Im home!!! Wow it going to be quick! haha Well anyways how are things are home! So dad got called to be a counselor in the bishopric! I thought that is why you moved! Congrats and good luck!!! This week, has been interesting... lots of wierd little cool stoires have happened! First of all we found a cremerie of sorts than is absolutely AMAZING! It sells a coconut ice cream thing that is the best ever! I dunno, maybe I just have been gone THAT long, but what a treat! Also my companions had a interesting day saturday, we were teaching a lesson under a HUGE mango tree, and right in the middle of it, a bird dropped a poo on my companions shoulder, then we tried to clean it off, but it just spread into this big gross yellow stain for the rest of th e day! Then later we were rendering service by drawing water from the wells to help on of our investigators build their house, I love drawing water, I am going to have a well when I grow up, anyways the cord broke and so I decided to go down the well and try to get it out, I got down there, pretty far actually, kinda a wierd feeling being down there, but it was just too deep for me! So we fished it out with a rope and a big hook. Then later the same day my other companion was trying to climb this wall for some reason of an old abandoned house and as he started to climb it, the wall fell/brake away and it was really funny! I just who this kid is, a whole wall fell down as he started to climb it! So funny! We determined that if there is ever an earthquake, everyone will be dead cause all the buildings will collaspe! Assuring, isnt? Later the same day, I had a really cool experience while teaching about the plan of salut. Our investigator, Noélie, loves to ask hard but good questions, so as we talked about le ressurection, the judgement, and the three degrees of glory, as I talked about the Celestial Kingdom she asked a question. Something like, "is it possible to have that happiness without end without your family there? There must be a way to be 'sealed' to them for eternity." We have never talked about the eternal nature of families, temples, or any of that, but she used the word 'sealed'! Sometimes, like at that moment, the viel is thin, we already know this stuff, we just are reminded about it, truths like that can be felt, people know this! They really do! What a spirit was there as we explained, that families are ETERNAl, they can be SEALED for time and eternity! That is happiness, we can never have happiness without end without our families! Its impossible! I am so grateful to the prophet Joseph Smith, who was humble and faithful enough to pray to know the truth, who was answered by Our God, The Father and His Son! Who now in the latter days has restored the PLENTITUDE of the gospel of Christ! Where know the fulness of the blessings of temple can reach into the eternities without our families! Oh how grateful I am for my parents, who live worthly to have this absolutely AMAZING blessing for my family, and raised us to have the testimony of faith and hope that I have!!!! LIfe is so great! God is great! How blessed we are! And the opportunity I have to share this blessing with my people here! Yes they are my people, my brothers and sisters! Everyday, I am excited to get up and serve! I love it, despite all the pain or whatever, its is worth it to look into the eyes of someone and tell them that they can be with their family for eternity thanks to the gospel of Christ!!! Never forget the blessings that we have, I am going to 'lance une defi' or give a challenge this week to all those who read this messege, I want that for two days, in your prayers, ask nothing for blessings but give thanks for what you have! Dont ask for a single thing, just render thanks! Just do it and you will see more blessings rendered upon your heads than you can think! Dont believe, me? Try it, I dare you! Well I gotta get going thanks for all the love and support, until the next time I love ya, and remember who you are!!
love elderly
