Mom and Dad,
Happy Monday!
I contemplated writing a
really short email and just telling you what time worked for skyping but
decided against it haha. The church wifi here is reliable enough and I´ve
skyped from my iPad before (meetings with other missionaries).
Elder Taylor really
likes food [DadNote: his companion].
He´s a great cook and cooks really healthy food. Thus we have brown rice,
chicken and fitness in common. Really though, we´re going to become really
healthy together. Missionary work, leadership, enjoys the scriptures. He really
likes cars (that´s not really something in common, but I learned about Audi and
BMW stuff today). He is good at being focused in lessons and organized in
leadership/planning. He is patient and willing to help and support others.
Thank you so much Mom,
that makes me happy :) [DN: comment she
made in letter] I think that´s something that I´ve learned better on my
mission, recognizing and praising others for their gifts, talents and goodness.
It´s so important to be positive and focus on the positive in relationships
with others. As much as one shouldn´t be afraid to criticize or let people know
where they should improve, if we don´t show love and let them know that they´re
doing well and are successful/good at things then life just isn´t as happy.
Oh yes, fun reunion when
we´re all home. Glad Taylor made it safe, different having him at your adult
activities?
We have a Christmas eve
and a first day of Christmas member appointment here. (Christmas is 2 days).
Way to go inviting the missionaries over for breakfast, they´ll love that.
We had a fun week over
here. Mission leadership council, Zone conference, and being sick at the end of
the week. I learned a lot about leadership, caught up on my journal, and we
found a few new people who will start investigating the church this week.
Carry on, have fun,
remember Jesus Christ, the best Christmas gift ever.
John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his
Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might
be saved.
Love,
Hayden
