August 5, 2013

Well this week definitely had its ups and its down. It was kind of a slow week we had a zone conference one day and spent another day doing service. Which was fun but we didn't get to teach a whole lot of people but. We were able to have 3 L.A members come to church yesterday which was awesome to see. Things with the Willard's took kind of a bad turn. I think they came across some anti-Mormon stuff, we went and saw them last night and they weren't as friendly as they usually are. It was a little heart breaking. I am really trying to love everyone and to see them not accept the gospel and miss out on the blessing was kind of hard. But we are still doing our job and everyone has their agency so it is alright. We will just try to love them and everyone else. There are some really awesome people out here. We are really starting to develop a good relationship with the ward. And they are really willing to help us out. It is so cool to be able to be friends with all these people. It is amazing that the gospel could make friends out of 19 yr old boys and 60 yr old couples. It is so cool. Yesterday me and Elder Jensen( not sure how long he'll be here yet. could be awhile of he could be gone at the next transfer.) but we had the chance to go to the Baptist church. I can tell you from that experience that the church is true. During there service i could not feel the spirit and i actually left there feeling worse. It was kind of sad and depressing. The preacher was yelling and screaming and everyone was shouting amen, and that's right, and tell them preacher. They shout during everything. Like there songs and their prayers. It is so cool to know though that is much as the preacher knew about the bible, i knew more than him because i have  the knowledge of the restored gospel. It really was a blessing to get to go there and made me appreciate the opportunity i have to be a part of the true church and restored gospel. You guys should try going to a different church and just see and feel the difference. It will definitely help you feel more blessed to be a part of the restored gospel. I am glad that you got the package. i was excited to send it and help you put some faces with some names. I love this gospel and the opportunity i have to share it. It is such a blessing. Now to the questions
 
I got your package, thank you so much it was awesome and I loved the ties I don't have any that are like the ones you sent. So they were awesome and everything else in there was great.
 
Do you go out to eat? If so where at? 
Sometimes I do. There are a couple of little restaurants out here that we go to but not very often. There is a subway and McDonald's that we go to every now and again.
 
Are you still getting fed?  Did you make your rabbit stew?
I am getting fed a ton. And we didn't have a chance to kill a rabbit or make stew. That is still on our list.
 
Have you gotten IPAD's yet?
we haven't gotten i pads and i haven't heard anything about them yet so i guess we will have to see.
 
How is training going?
I love training it is a awesome experience and i don't know how much longer i will be in this area. That is for the lord to decide.
 
I hope all is going well. I love you all so much you guys are always in my thoughts and prayers. Mom i love you a ton thank you for always writing me and all the other things that you do for me. I am so blessed to have someone like you always looking out for me. You are the best. I love you all and you guys are always in my thoughts and prayers. Have a fantastic week..
Love
Elder Child
