Hey Family! I got the package! It had lots of "g's" in it! Thank you! My iPod! Under armor, socks, hat, and gloves. Did you forget the jump drive or sending it at a different time? Transfer calls are Sunday so I will find out if I stay or go on Sunday but transfers are on Thursday the 15th. Idk about the calls on Christmas yet I will talk to the zone leaders today.
I do have a few people I would like to get something for. Our ward is doing stuff for people and I’m chosen to get something for a teen age boy so I will be getting that today! I’m thinking just a gift card for like $20. But idk yet. I would like to give a couple books! But more like 5 of them. I have to recent converts I would like to give them to, my bishop, Calls, and the mission president! I love that 3 trees book! That would be perfect!
Sounds like Idaho is great! Nice and cold o’ and you can’t forget about the wind! I’m glad u still got more than one tree! I have taught you something!!! He he jk. Sounds fun! We have a member that is going give us a tree.
Anyways a cool story for you,
Hmmmmm I have some not too many though. The most recent was Thanksgiving Day! We had a super powerful lesson with our investigator Judy (the older lady) on Tuesday! We asked her to be baptized for the 10th time! She said she didn’t know she will think about it! We promised her how happy she would be and all that jazz and had a fantastic lesson, well on Thursday night I had the impression I needed to call her before we went to bed to see how she was doing and how her Thanksgiving was, we talked for a few minutes about the day and at the very end of the conversation she said, “Oh and by the way I have decided I want to be baptized on Dec 3rd" I jumped off the bed and she was calm as could be!!! It was so cool the spirit works in weird ways! But I like it!
Another experience
I and Elder Sevy were riding our bikes going to see and inactive member. We had no intentions at stopping at anyone’s house along the way! Well we were riding by this house that had a bunch of stuff lying out on the street. It was old carpet pad, carpet, trim; it looked like they had done a remodel in the house or something! Well you know me it caught my eye! I turned around and told Elder Sevy we needed to knock this door! So we did! A kid probably 23 years old answered the door, we told him who we are and what we do! We told him as missionaries we go around and help people answer the questions of the soul, such as: where did we come from, what the purpose of life, and where do we go after this life? We had never seen this kid before and had no idea of his situation. He had just had a recent death in the family that’s why he was even home. Normally he is at school down in Norfolk. He invited us in and we taught him the entire plan of salvation. Last I knew he was meeting with missionaries in Norfolk from the singles ward. What if I didn’t follow the spirit and knock that house! He would probably still have no knowledge to what happens after we die. If you think about it the LDS church is the only church who knows the plan of salvation and that our families can truly be together forever. Just a FYI his name was Marcello, and he was the one that did the remodel for his parents! We had an instant connection! I just wish we could get to teach him! He is a great guy.
My week was sweet! I went to Richmond for most of it! I had leadership training down there and I had lots of fun and learned a lot! It was cool! But Saturday was the best! We had a baptism! It was one of my favorite baptisms so far! It was really spiritual! It makes it all worth it! I have a card that is called My Missionary Commission" Diffy gave it to be b4 I left on my mission but the meaning of it didn’t really hit me until last week when I was in Richmond listing to President Perry speak.
My Missionary Commission
I Am Called Of God.
My authority is above that of the kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the lord Jesus Christ. He is my master and he has chosen me to represent him. To stand in his place, to say and do what he himself would say and do if he personally were ministering to the very people to whom he has sent me. My voice is his voice, and my acts are his acts; my words are his words and my doctrine is his doctrine. My commission is to do what he wants done. To say what he wants said. To be a living modern witness in word and deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous latter-day work.

Just with this week and with the baptism and when I read this it makes this whole mission thing worth it!!!!!!!! Judy’s baptism when great! It was the most spiritual baptism so far and it was truly a great day and week.
