Hello Mom and Dad!
Emily, she's still
recovering from last week and gets her wisdom teeth out, wow! Champion. [about 2 weeks ago: Emily had ingrown toe nail
surgery and touch of pneumonia, so last week we had her wisdom teeth removed]
With Mr L [borne in Peru] we typically speak Spanish, but if he or I lack words then we
switch to German, when we go deeper German is typically the language that we go
to, the language of his heart. The temple re opens early September (Not in my
mission) and Mr H would like to attend the dedication, which he can attend as a
baptized member, he would just need an interview with the Bishop. Brother K
made it to I believe his 6th Sunday in a row, he's doing awesome. Taylor's
wedding [Hayden’s brother – 3/9/2016], So exciting! Looking forward to pictures and
news as it comes. An Elder in my group told me that he asked President and that
our hard and fast date is the 15th of December, so I'll be home in time for
Christmas and to lose all of my good habits. No haha, that second part is not
happening. I can sign up for classes and things, it would be ideal if I pick
classes then someone else signs up since I can't stay up late at night to get
the teachers and times that I want like last time. I also would really
appreciate more info about scholarship things when you have time, I don't know
anything about deadlines or options there.
This week we had good
lessons, time with the ward and zone training. Mr H is doing really well, his
prayers are so open and sincere. I thought a lot about habits at this zone training,
focused on Studys, chapter 2 of preach my Gospel. It is so important to have a
habit of Sincere study. Not just a study habit or a habit of reading in the
scriptures, but really desiring to learn from and of God as we study the
scriptures. Reading is a good start, but on my mission I've learned how to
study the scriptures and enjoy that. Waking up earlier so that I can exercise
better is a habit that's going well. I have flossed my teeth every day this
year (Brother Hada and Uncle Randy would be proud). Being active not only in
the church, but in the gospel is an essential habit, goes along with daily,
joyful repentance. Sincere and open prayer. As a missionary or member
"finding" is a good habit to have, what I mean by that is following
the Spirit in opportunities to share the gospel. Jesus Christ and his life is
one of consistently turning outward to others and their needs.
Keep it up, I love you!
