Well this email is going to be pretty short this week. Honestly not a whole lot happened. I don’t know why but it seems that our appointments just aren’t working out. We were really bummed and ended up going to the H’s for about an hour to just sit and talk with them. We went to a baptism on Friday night for the relief society president’s granddaughter. It was really good and I always love feeling the spirit at those baptisms. Saturday was a bad day too. We had a ward party for pioneer day and that was about as good as that got. Really pretty much our week consisted of driving around, getting rejected, and driving some more. It really is crazy how hard Satan works on people. He is just messing everything up. This week really should be a lot better because I’m pretty much going to go around and teach lessons and say goodbye to everyone. We will be getting transfer calls on Saturday. Hopefully people stop canceling on us at least for this week so I can have a good last week.
So it’s funny that your speaking on Sunday because so am I!!! haha they are having 3 of the 4 missionaries talk and the other one is doing a musical number. We get to choose our own topic and I’ve decided to do my talk on having hope. I looked up some things on it earlier and found some really good insights and I hope it turns out good. It’s almost like having a farewell talk haha I feel like this is a home ward to me and now I’ll be leaving. I’ve been thinking about USU a little bit too. I have a friend out here that has said that if I go there I can live with him and his family because they have a separate area for guests and he said they would be all about having me up there. Free housing would be super nice. I probably won’t get that in Provo, but it’s still looking like I’ll be at UVU for at least my first year. There are just so many different good schools. Also I had it hit me this last week what I REALLY want to do. I originally wanted to be a Pediatrician. But every time I thought about it I felt like that might not be what I should get into. Well I was thinking about a career when I was talking to a member and something that really interests me would be to be like a sports med person/physical therapist. I still have plenty of time to see if it’s really what I want to do and I’m still going to focus on Biology as a major and that will leave lots of doors pretty open.
Ideas for your talk...getting your children to do missionary work. I would have to say just talk about it enough that it will be on their minds. Do lessons about it in FHE and practice how you might talk to people about the church. Talk about bearing your testimony even if it’s small. On page 41 of the November 2011 Ensign there is a talk by L Tom Perry about missionary work and it’s really good. I especially love the quote that is right under the name of the article.
I can’t believe so many crazy killings are happening.. Elder N and I were in complete shock and loss for words when we found out about the killing in Colorado at the movie theater. It made me so sick that anyone would actually do that. Thank goodness for the Gospel and keeping us all on that straight and narrow path so that when bad things happen we know that there is more to life. Well I love you tons and hope you have and excellent week. And yes this was my "big" email today even though it wasn’t very big. haha
To Mom: I just told dad that I "get" to speak on Sunday too! haha crazzyy! This week our week really wasn’t a good one and it shows in the email haha. Since it is pioneer day tomorrow we went out to the B’s home who is a less active we are working with who has actually been at church pretty regularly for the last month or so. And we watched 17 Miracles. That movie is such a good one! It’s the second time I’ve seen it on my mission. We also had some banana bread that was aweeesomme.
Chris will definitely be a good missionary. Hopefully his companions will get along with him well! Well there really isn’t much to say this week. I love you so much and hope you have an awesome week!
