Hey guys!
First part of this letter is to Dad: WILL YOU STOP GETTING SICK?!?!?!?!
I have enough to worry about, and then my Dad tells me he's been getting sick. I leave and everything goes to pot! Really, I worry about you because I'm not around. Also, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. I'm still Nathan, still a lose cannon (kidding), and I'm still losing weight. It's definitely more controlled now though. One or two kili a week.
Okay, back to both, since I can just answer the questions together.
YEAH SEATTLE!
I'm glad that the Outback works out very well, and I'm glad that you want to go live near Bear Lake (?). It's a beautiful place, and I would love to visit you there. As for the ghost issue. No worries, weird stuff happens all the time with computers. It's probably nothing. If it happens again, call the GhostBusters. I'm sure they can help.
Okay so, my new companion is Anziano McIntrye. He is a really chill guy from Canada. Yup, I got a Canadian companion, which is pretty sweet. He's been out for a year now, same group as my trainer, so yeah. Like I said he's pretty chill. We'll get along great from what I can see.
Yes, I am happy and I am enjoying my life as a missionary. Sometimes it's hard, but there are moments when it's all worth it. I really love it when I can help people, even if I don't know what to say.
IF you want to help me, please pray for the following: Alessandra, Kingsley, Temple, Pietro, Rafaella, but especially Alessandra. She's been having hard times lately, and she reallly needs the strength of some prayers.
Also, Dad: I would say my langauge ability is a 6-7, some where in there. It's definitely improved. And as for my rating of myself as a missionary, I would say I'm a 8. Not quite to 100% obedience just yet, but I'm getting there.
Well, that's it for me this week, love you all, and I'm wishing you the best,
NaNa
I usually don't post our letters to Nathan but I think his mother's this week was very insightful and shows the love and devotion of a mother to her missionary son and how she feels about the gospel. It also explains some things in his letter.
Dad and I went on a long drive yesterday to test out the new Outback. It went very well. Dad wants to be a principal in a wilderness area (well, he'll take a job anywhere but he'd love that for observing!). I told him I was ok with bear lake. Then the grand kids would say "let's go to grandmas, they live at bear lake and we could swim and boat and have super fun." I don't want to live in Randolph. Our bishop would be like my dad, old farmer John. This was all tongue and cheek in a way. We saw a few hunters with dead deer in their trucks. We also saw a ton of sheep. Dads office has a ghost. I was putting away towels and I heard a man talking in the office. I ran to our room and got dad. When he got there it had stopped. Really freaky!!! Dad thinks it was his computer. It sounded like a mans radio voice, so it could have been his computer.
So i have one request. when you tell us about your baptisms, dont just say they were fine or great. please give us a little detail. Tell us about the program and who did what, even some of your feeling about the experience. Tell us about your new companion and what he is like. Are you happy? Do you enjoy being a missionary? Dad worries about you. What can we do to help you? In conference they asked members to pay for specific people. Who would you like us to pray for?
I always feel like I should have more to say, but don't know what to tell you. I don't want to bore you with things you don't want to know. We really are just trying to go about our boring day-to-day life. I think about you every day. I hope you are doing your best to serve the people of Italy and give them the gift of the gospel. It will bring such joy and peace to their life. I know that it brings me great peace especially right now. Pray, study and serve The Lord. Love Mom :)
