To Mom:
Terry is
BAPTIZED!! I saw him for just a few minutes afterward, he's now moved to
Melbourne. He's the man.
My talk in
Church was alright, I really hate public speaking and I hate how the best
revelation for Sacrament talks only comes when you sit down. But no, it went
very well. I was speaking on missionary work. I had a lot of studying to do.
These Elders
with the car are useless. I'm not sure I'll ever be getting a new suit. I had
one of the office Sisters sew up my old suit though and my black pair of
slacks, hopefully they get back to me soon. I wear the same pants every day to
meetings and out working, so they're developing some pretty scandalous
character as well.
It’s been
freezing the past couple weeks, but the past couple days have been perfect day
and night. I had been wearing the gloves…until one of the APs decided he really
liked them. Maybe I'll get them back sometime it’s not something I really worry
about. I need to go borrow some of his ties anyway.
Everyone’s
moving... good to think it'll be a younger neighborhood though. Have kids
running around everywhere. Break the X boxes. Go outside. Your grandkids will
never know the feeling of a console controller in their hands.
To Dad:
I’ve stayed
pretty healthy so far. I don't think
I'd mind a sick day every now and then though just to spend some time studying.
I guess it'd get old pretty quick though.
You had fifteen
baptisms while you were Bishop??? I
never remembered seeing anyone new at Church and hardly ever any investigators.
And I don't feel like there was ever anybody that really stood out as a kingdom
builder baptism. Is there anyone baptized while you were Bishop that’s still
there now? Would I remember them?
Oh boy. The
kilos (weight gain). I don't look any different, but I feel different. I
really miss running and swimming. I've started really watching what I
eat now, I try not to eat anything after 7pm or so if I can help it. I think it’s
really helping, but I guess I'll find out in a couple weeks. The hard part is
when members feed us every night and I can't really control much of anything.
We have
full weeks and empty weeks for meals; it kind of just depends on who signs up.
We're right outside downtown, so pretty urban, but the edge of our area is
hills so there's a good mix.
I always
felt like we had some of the weirdest missionaries (in 5th Ward)
haha. I do remember a couple good ones though. There was quite a while there
near when I left where we didn't really have missionaries over at all.
I'm excited
to see the new house. And Arizona will be way better than Texas anyway.
Thanks for
the mail, good luck in Palmdale this week and on finishing up the house!
