But at least I'll be back for Troys :) Gosh my family is getting so old! Haha Briel is already a week old? crayyy cray! Oh so I had a nightmare this week....I got home from the mish and no one was at the airport for some odd reason...Brandon i felt your pain haha :p so I caught a ride home and everyone was there but just eating..the norm stuff..and Aaron was on the piano and I came up to hug him and he was so happy! (that was good) but all the rest of the kids, Kylee, Drew, Rylan, Hailey, Anna ,and of course Briel didnt know who I was. SADDEST/SCARIEST THING EVER!!!!! You best be showin them my face! haha! ;)
And Dad you asked for Christmas stuff already??? ITS COMING!!!! woww... well i've already thought of some things. And this is a typical missionary's dream Christmas list:
-a new mini quad scriptures...perferrably the one with a snap, kinda like what Cara has...the small kind
-Jesus the Christ
-tab chior CD with 'come thou fount' on it
andddddd I have something else im not remembering...i'll let you know when I remember :p
So this week was great!! We had Elder Pino, from the 70 come see us missionaries and it was awesome!!!! So he lived in Peru for about 4 years in Lima, AWESOME!! I told him I had family that is from there. He was shocked considering im the whitest persone ever haha but i corrected myself saying family friends ( i do consider you, Betty and Doris, family :) ) but the whole thing was in spanish!!! It wouldve been awesome if I understood them exactly but they did have translators. Elder Pino's wife doesnt know english, he does but wanted to talk in spanish and although I couldnt understand them, the spirit was soooooo strong!!! It's awesome! They say we all missionaries come out to learn a language that can be understood through any other language, and that's the spirit. It's an amazing thing!! I love the gospel!!! They talked a lot about making Christ's Doctrine OUR doctrine. I have actually never thought of it that way but its totally true!! We need to make sure and make the gospel ours. Its a life long thing, its a part, should be, of our lives. My challenge to you all is to make the Doctrine of Jesus Christ yours, learn it, share it, live it, love it! 2 Nephi 31 - great place to start and great to read! :) Its our life. And if it isnt, make it :)
Marissa got baptized this weekend, we are so excited for her!!! Our Heavenly Father is amazing, we have seen the change she has gone through and that is only because of our Savior. It was very spiritual and when she came out of the water, her face was priceless, you cant describe it! She felt it, it's real, and its amazing! Seeing these baptisms remind you how amazing the gospel is and theres nothing better! :)
Im grateful to be on a mission. Pray for the missionaries in the world and most importantly, for missionary opportunities for you! If you dont know who to share it with, go meet your neighbors! :) YOU GOT THIS!!
Have a good week, love you all!
