Dear Family,
Ok man I am so jealous of your weather right now. It's over 100 degrees every day right now and pretty miserable. Humidity is not fun! Enjoy the weather though! It sounds so great right now!
Good luck with all those sickness stuff going on... Just eat a pepper and burn it out! ;)
I hope Rachael has lots of fun. :) Homecoming is the best! Crazy thinking that not too long ago I was doing that too. That's going to be so cool. Have so much fun too with it!
Woah Jake went to the temple! That's right he's old enough huh? That's super cool! Man I can't wait to see how much he's changed. :) That's going to be so cool! I'll still have to beat him up a bit though in order to keep him normal.
How close is Sam to being potty trained? Does he kinda want to do it? That's super cool that Matthew is using French though. :) Maybe you guys will learn to speak french too and then I'll be the only one who doesn't know! I'll just speak Spanish to myself in the corner. :)
So with Pablo, we had a super spiritual lesson on Saturday. I love feeling the promptings of the Spirit in lessons and acting on what it says. It's so much fun to see where it goes. :) But I said that we can say a prayer together and if he has enough faith he wouldn't have work or some other opportunity to go to church would come up (he works Sundays) and we did say the prayer (I said it) but he didn't make it to church... We will go by tonight I think. We did pick up a new family of investigators last night though which is unheard of! It was so cool! So one of them is a runner and I told him I love him. But yeah it was a really good lesson and we are going back on Wednesday to teach them again so that was the biggest thing this week. 4 new investigators and a family and one is a runner! It can't get any better. :) I really hope we can work things out and convert them! Woo!
I freakin LOVE Jesus the Christ! Ok you know I was reading it before I left on my mission right? I really liked it then too but it's kinda hard to get into and it still is but once you start, you can just tell that it's basically one of the coolest books ever written. You should try it! It takes a while and it's hard a lot but it's amazing! Maybe you could go to the Jesus the Christ class too! That would be pretty cool! That's super cool about institute though! That's awesome you can do that! I didn't know you could!
Well the cinnamon thing didn't go down last week. I'm going to try for this week though. :) Funny you say to eat a live bug. :) I came up with live goldfish but we are first going to find out if we will get sick from it before we try it. I'm actually pretty nervous about that one... Not a fan of fish first of all and then having it be alive and whole... Bleh!
I'm kinda all over with the scriptures. Not really a specific thing right now but I'll let you know when I find something to study! It's gotta be worth my time!
I'm not really sure what was the biggest thing is to help prepare for a mission before. I didn't realize how perfect you have to strive to be on your mission. It's really hard but you realize how imperfect you are and how hard it is to strive to be as perfect as possible. It's stressful and I can see that that's the biggest thing out here with stress for me is striving to be worthy to be an actual representative of Jesus Christ. I was having a hard time the other day with thinking that I'm just not worthy and I was really down but then Sunday came and the day of rest really helped me to feel much better and ready to take on this next week. But for me that's the biggest struggle is being perfect because it's not really perfectionism that's going on with this but more of like being who I have to be. It's hard to explain. Sorry probably not the best answer. But you can't really prepare perfectly, just be as obedient as possible.
Language is coming. It's super hard and frustrating at some times and other times it's easy as cake but yeah I'm learning. My comp is good.
I love you guys! I think I said everything I wanted to this week. Oh we have the temple trip next week! On Tuesday! I'll tell you about it then but I don't have P day on Monday because of that. I'll email sometime Tuesday after the trip which could end anytime... So yeah just a heads up. I'm super excited! Oh shoot! I forgot to bring my camera stuff... Sorry! I don't have any pictures to send anyway though so yeah... I'll probably forget next week too but I should have some pictures of the temple and stuff. But I'm so excited for that!
I love you! Have a good week!
Love,
Elder Passey
