Subject: desire to learn
Hello Family!
Weddings! Sarah and
Nils, so good [note: Hayden’s Cousin Sara’s
wedding was end of July in Utah] ! Elder Cloward´s older brother was married
last Tuesday. While he´s been on his mission his brother got engaged then
married, totally possible for Taylor. Keep me updated :) We were in the temple
in Germany at the same time they were probably in the temple getting married. Have
a fun trip and a good time in Utah then. Thanks for the update on Emily too, glad
to hear she´s having so much fun out there.
On my side of the world:
Unfortunately we haven`t had contact with Marco for a while, we don´t really
know what´s going on in his life. Elder Cloward and I are still together for at
least another week and a half. Transfer calls are on Saturday this week [8/1],
don`t send anything to Mainz.
Actually, as a rule for
anyone sending me packages (don´t be shy) Send them to
Elder Hayden Blanchard
Corneliusstraße 18
Corneliusstraße 18
60235 Frankfurt am Main
Deutschland/Germany
[for us Americans a ‘ß’
is a double s or ss]
We´ll see, should I stay
or should I go? Other things going on, 2 small families came to church on
Sunday and are interested in learning more so that was exciting for our ward.
Today I worked on setting some goals and making plans for my study time. Preach
my Gospel talks about how getting good results from your study depends on
having a strong desire to learn, studying with “real intent” (Moroni 10:4),
“hunger[ing] and thirst[ing] after righteousness” (Matthew 5:6)
and searching for answers to the questions and concerns of those whom you teach.
So much of that simply has to do with having a desire to learn, grow, and
improve. I want to be a better missionary, to teach better, to work harder and
really do what God would have me do out here.
Till next week,
Love,
Hayden
