Greeting Family
It's been a great week and I'm just really excited to be a missionary at this time of the Lord's great gathering of Israel. Wow what an honor to be wearing a black tag on my chest like a bullet proof vest. The work is true, it's just true, it's all true and that's the best thing to know in this life. What a blessing it is to know that Jesus is the Christ, that we come from a loving Heavenly Father, to know that Joseph Smith really was telling the truth by saying that he saw a light and heard a voice, how wonderful to know that Priesthood keys have been brought back to the earth to move the work forward, for without priesthood keys it couldn't happen God is a God of order and must have organization to run things right and my goodness this church is organized and has things right. Now it's just time to get the message to everyone in the world.
We had zone leader council in Iowa City this past week and we are all trying to get 100 baptisms in May and wow it's going to be a long shot because it should have been brought up a couple months ago. You can't just give a goal like that and not have the names necessary for a goal like that. Elder Herrin and I have really been trying to stay ahead of the game and doing what Peter said to do"see afar off" 2Peter 1:9. Forecasting and seeing into the future is something that I'm trying to learn. Preparation is what this life is about,For behold, this alife is the time for men to bprepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of cthis life is the day for men to perform their dlabors Alma 34:32. Preparation and Organization is the life that God lives. He is prepared, he knows all things because he has organized all things and knows all things because he prepared all things before the foundation of the world. sorry for that rant
Conference was good and we watched it with some investigators namely Sam,and Dave. It was good to hear all the shout outs for missionary work something that has taken possession of my soul. I love sharing the gospel, it's the best, it's great I love it and if you don't then that's too bad.
I hope that Cali was great and that you all had a great time there and that you all got some much needed rest and leisure.
So what think ye of my school options? I need some feedback here. My mind has been on the future and what school I'm going to go to and wow it's knocking me off my feet. Is it ok if I just live out here and go rouge with doing missionary work,,,, actually I'll transfer myself to somewhere warm like Florida and get some good weather for once.
Ya Brother Silva our Ward Mission Leader and I are always fighting about me being a true mexican and he had to call you dad. He's from Chile and is always making fun of me with Elder Herrin and so thinking I could prove my mexican heritage I said ok just call my dad and he'll tell you, and what do you do............ call me a gringo and I've been hearing that ever since then. thanks for backing me up dad hahaha.... when he comes to utah we need to have him over because he's a lot of fun.
Rumor has it that the Masters are this weekend............ I might just roll over and die, I always get the golf itch over the winter and with the warm weather coming here again I'm itching all over............ Go Tiger!! Well if I have to use the home card this month I'm sorry and really don't want to use it but we're drilling through our MSF card really fast with needing to buy things for our zone and members for thank you cards. Plus I really like the food here
A way that Elder Herrin and I are going to get new investigators is to teach english classes to all the chinese students here at ISU and have our chinese investigators help us with the teaching hahaha it pure genius and all the chinese people will be all over it.
