I'm glad everything is going well and that you have all committed to doing family scripture study! Some of my goals for the mission before I come home are to learn to love more fully, to improve my memory and then improve my
organization skills! So that is what I have been working on! I miss the temple so much! I'm so happy for Adam! I can't believe that he is already heading out for the mission! He will really love the mission a lot!It's a time of pure service and love.
I have learned a lot about not murmuring as well because it just ruins a lot of things! It has been getting harder to stay focused, but its all part of the plan. The Lord is testing to see how much space I have for Him in my life and how much he can trust me! Its been a blessing to struggle in the mission because it means the Lord already knows I can handle difficulty. I'm really grateful to have been placed on the straight and narrow path and to have my family and friends to help guide me. The mission has been a
great experience! Nothing can eternally go wrong when you are on the Lord's side!
This week was cool because we had two baptisms in our district
and it was really exciting to hear about the success of the missionaries I'm working with. I was able to feel the pure love of Christ as I watched my companion baptize one of the sisters investigators. The water in the font was freezing, so when my comp dunked her under, she kicked her leg in the air and they had to do it again! She looked like she was going to cry! I felt so bad. After the baptism, we helped perform the confirmation of the Holy Ghost! It was so great! Later, we ate dinner with this awesome non member family that was so cool. On our way home we helped jump start this woman's car by pushing it! We had so much fun just hanging out and talking about Christ, it was one of the best days of my mission by far! Anyway, that was my week!
Nathan will need a strong testimony of the Lord and he will need to know how to share it. He will have a huge impact on the lives of the people he serves! Thanks for everything you do! I'm grateful to be your son! Have fun in school, learn lots! Have a great week!
Love, Anziano Goode
