First of all, holy crap Levi looks OLD! Dang, I can't believe how much he's changed these last few months!!!!!
Hahaha that's cool the Ellsworths are going to Mesa. Bro. Ellsworth's dad and grandpa knew eachother, grandpa told me stories about his ostrich farm :) I'll have to go visit them sometime :)
I can't believe dad hasn't heard anything. Things will work out, though! God has His own time for everything!
Maybe you should write a letter as a worried wife and mom to Mrs. Obama. I bet she could do something haha. Youd probably end up on Oprah or something though hahahaha
Sorry to hear about the heat. Here, it's been pretty solid rainy days for nearly a week, with nice and cool temperatures. Its wonderful, except that most of my area is thick mud right now thats NOT fun to walk in, and makes it so that pretty much noone goes to church. The other day us missionaries and the young mens had an activity in the church and after it was downpouring so we stayed and made tortas fritas together. It was a blast! Another convert received the priesthood this week too. When converts get callings its even funner for me than baptisms. I dunno why, I just feel REALLY good when people are keeping on fightin.
Congrats on finishing the Book of Mormon. This week I began it for the first time in Spanish from beginning to end. I always study it in spanish, but had never read it straight through yet. It will be cool, Im excited.
COngrats also on your new business! Thats way tight! What kind of things will you be selling and how will you do it? THings you make? Is it a local thing to sell to stores or people direct online?
This morning we woke up 45 minutes early to go to seminary haha It was cool to see youth converts especially at the church at 6am in the morning studying the Book of Mormon. The teacher is FANTASTIC, she brings sweet breads and hot chocolate every morning haha, the Stake puts a TON of money into the seminary programs here.
In other news, this week were getting marriage dates set up for 3 different couples that have finally decided to get married so they can be baptised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means in a year, I'll be able to go to the temple with a bunch of families its gonna be sooooo cooolll!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I complete 8 months today, it's pretty weird. Im not a baby in the mission any more!
Well, the next changes in a month will be the last my President makes before he finished the mission 5 days later, I'm praying hardcore for a new president as awesome, I've learned a TON from Prez. Peterson and his wife. Very good people. He'll probably be a general authority pretty soon, since he's now finishing his 4th time as President I think. Maybe just 3rd. SO much time in his life spent in the work of the Lord, it would be wonderful to be able to serve your entire life. I've been reflecting a lot on what I want to do with the rest of my life, and I truly think I would be happiest serving in some way, we'll see what happens haha
Well, Thats all folks, until next week, CHAU
