What's up you guys. You may not recognize the song, but that's okay. I found it in the mission anyways.
So, stuff from home like always. And Mum first like always.
Thanks for the pic of my kilt. Let's say it right, it's a kilt, not a dress. And yes, I did show it to my friends thank you very much!!!! Nathan's sister is getting married in May and the wedding party is doing a Scottish theme with the men wearing their family kilt/tarton
Well, I just checked my card and you were right, it expires at the end of the month. (HUGE. We got Nathan's replacement debit/visa card in the mail this week and so his expires on 2/28/15. So if you have a missionary out plan for an alternative way in case their card expires to get cash or or travelers checks for their trip home to pay luggage fees and custom dues). So, I am going to do my best to get things figured out and email you guys the next week about the amount of cash I should potentially need. I will for sure let you know. But on the side, I did find a good Italian suit for cheap, no more than 120. So I could buy that as well.
Nice, I love hearing about baptisms!!! That's cool. 2 missionary reports huh? Yeah, I remember Conor. He's a pretty cool guy, glad that he had a good mission. OKay, since Dad talked about this too, I'll address it more later in combined stuff. Like the car as well....and the food.....Man lot of combined comments.
Sounds like Kendra's wedding is coming along fantastically. Glad I'll be home to see all that hard work pay off, and not having done a single thing myself! Oh boy, I'm gonna get it when I get home.
Valentine's Day in California! That's romantic. Sounds like things are gonna be good. Tell Dad's family I say hi and that I can't wait to see them in the future!
Okay for Dad:
1. Man, that's hard. I think it would probably have to be when I had my first baptism that I actually did the ordinance. (Favorite spiritual experience so far)
2. Funny memory is easy: when I did a trust fall, and no one caught me. Taught me to never trust missionaries again! (funniest thing happen on the mission)
3. Still is Alma 29, but I've really grown to like the one that says "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me." I think it's in Ephesians or something. (Favorite Scripture)
4. I'm starting to rethink about Pathway and BYU-I. Just not getting that confirmation that I know should come. We'll see. (What he is going to do with school and work)
5. I talked about change. Something about how the purpose of trials is to change us to become like Christ, and that everything we go through is part of the refiner's fire. (What his departing testimony at his last zone conference was on).
6. SO 9 of us are heading home, but 5 of us are heading to SLC. A lot of them are my friends so it should be a fun ride. (How many missionaries are coming home. For those that may not know, the last group in January coming to Salt Lake had same itinerary as Nathan and somehow they missed the connection in Dallas and ended up spending the night there in motels. They got home Wednesday instead of Tuesday. THAT better not happen!).
7. That is a really good question. I'm not quite sure yet. Still debating. (first thing he wants to purchase after coming home).
Okay now for the combined things:
The new car looks and sounds amazing! Can you actually come pick me up in that instead of the Outback, because I would really love to drive it home once we hit Bangater.
So the talks sounded like they were good talks. I promise I will share mission experiences that will apply to the subject of my talk. I've had and seen plenty of experiences in my mission, so it should be fairly easy.
The food sounds good. I don't have a preference for the food. Just know, that I will be cooking a lot more when I get home. Get ready to eat gluten free pasta, Italian Style!!!!!!!!!
Well as for my week:
No interview this week either. R our investigator can't come to church because of hjs work situation, and he told us that he doesn't feel that he should be baptized if he can't come to church to take the sacrament and renew that coveant. He is looking for another job so that he can come to church as often as he can.
N our investigator is doing good. He attended the recovery course, and is doing some things to begin to overcome his addiction, like putting pictures of Jesus where the temptations are strongest. We encouraged him to put pictures of the Savior as his background on the computer. Hopefully it helps, just because this addiction is hard to break. Unfortunately he didn't come to church this Sunday. Speriamo bene!
We did meet with a new investigator. Her name is J and she is from Nigeria, and has lived in Italy for 20 years, so she speaks the language really well. We taught her the Restoration last night and it went really well. We're excited to have a new simp and we're for sure gonna see some awesome miracles!
Well, in all honesty, that's been about my week. Got some good member appointments lined up for this week. Our new ward mission leader is asking us to train all the members on how to use Preach my Gospel, so we're starting that tonight.
THings are going good, and I can't believe I only have 3 weeks left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you guys!
