To Mom:
Yeah mission is still going really great. This week was another amazing week.
There's a guy called S. I don't know if I've told
you about him, but he's 24 with a great job, he's very intelligent and friends
with lots of the members already. His girlfriend is also a member of the
church. He's definitely a stake leader. But he's investigating the church
and this Saturday we taught him the third lesson which is the gospel of Jesus
Christ. It was such a powerful lesson. It was amazing and it really
touched him. At the end he prayed and he asked that his baptismal date
for October 22nd might be realized. He was at church yesterday and he
talked to all of the leaders. He might be the investigator that I'm most
excited about because he's really committing now to the church and to his
baptism and he's one that I know will never fall away.
I don't know if you remember Brother G. He's the
one that has his own church and he requested a Book of Mormon online.
Well we started teaching his son last Sunday and this Sunday we came to him and
he was really troubled. He told us that he hadn't even touched the Book
of Mormon and he felt like the bible was enough for him. We had such an
amazing lesson with him. We opened the Book of Mormon and read some
scriptures with him and we could see his countenance visibly change. He
was so touched and so humbled and at the end he realized what a wonderful thing
the Book of Mormon was and he promised to read it.
We're planning about 10 baptisms for October so soon you
should hear about people who were baptized. We're finally getting our
people to church so it's really great.
There's a less active member called M. He had
a vision about 2 weeks ago showing him all of his sins and showing him that he
needs to repent because he's going to be a leader at church. Anyway he
went to the bishop and set a marriage date for November 3rd. We have been
teaching his fiancee and she was at church yesterday and her baptism is set for
November 5th.
Today we went to ride on the elephants. It was a
really cool experience. They are so massive. My camera doesn't work
right now so that was very frustrating. But before you lose hope in me
don't worry I made sure that I got lots and lots of pictures of me riding them
so I'll send them to you next week or the week after as soon as they come
in. But we rode on the elephants and then we went to feed them.
They are really smart so it was a lot of fun.
The diet and the workout plan is still going strong don't
worry. I know you probably all thought I was going to flake out but it
feels too great so don't worry I'll keep it up for as long as I can. I
remember when I was in 8th grade I always hung out with Nathan Wolfherts and I
saw that he didn't eat any sugar or oil and he only ate healthy stuff and I
told you I was going to do that and I wasn't eating sweet things and you said
"Ok Adam" and it lasted like a day and a half. But this
time I'm way more serious hahaha
To Dad:
Mission is really really flying by right now for me. I
am just trying to do my best. But I don't have much to say because I only
have 5 minutes left and I already said what I wanted to say to you, to mom so
just read that but I love you and I want you to know that I really feel like
I'm giving it my all right now and I have no regrets at the moment.
