Dear Família!
Wow that sounds like a super fun FHE! Did dad plan this one or you? =D
The power of fasting is so amazing! I have been learning so much on
my mission and how to use fasting has really been one of the top things
to learn! I absolutely love fasting now and it has made such a
difference in missionary work!
Facebook is such an awesome tool! And our mission is going to be getting
iPads starting in May! To further the work both here and with our
friends at home! I am so excited it is going to help the work so much!
Plus our scriptures, preach my gospel, area book, and planners are going
to be on the iPad!!! Talk about convenience!
Thanks for giving it to Spencer! The letter he sent me didn't have a return address!
Keep sending me stamps and you will continue to receive letters! Great exchange! teehee
Okay yeah I am not sure if I am going to send them before Christmas
or not...I was hoping to send the one that I am writing in right now as
well, but I also wanted them to be somewhat of a Christmas "present"...
no sé...
lol! Elder Ives! Oh my goodness! lol, no kidding about brutal
rejection! I had my first bible bash a couple days ago... (apparently)
This little old lady opened the door and I started to introduce us and
she interrupted me and said, "I know what you believe and you can't change
me." Then she continued to question me about what it meant to be a
Christian, what Jesus did for us on the cross, and so forth when I
answered her questions she seemed to be satisfied and then said, "Well,
you believe that you will be eternally pregnant in heaven." (ummm....I
have never heard that before...) and she continued on about polygamy...
anyway it was mild and we answered her questions and corrected some
false beliefs...the conversation ended with "Well, you have such a
beautiful smile, and you do too dear, I really do wish you didn't believe
in that Mormon religion..." (Can I just say it is super weird having
someone tell you that it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you
believe in God and then tell you that they wished you didn't believe the
way that you do...
Way to go mom with the missionary work!!! Super impressed and happy for you!
Coolest realization this week...well there were many, one of the
coolest realizations this week 3 Nephi 21:9-10 and the statement:
missionaries= members with name tags... we really are no different than
any other member except that all we do is missionary work for a certain
amount of time.
Thanksgiving dinner of favorites: there was a turkey, mashed
potatoes, green beans, rolls, chicken chili, chicken Caesar salad,
funeral potatoes, gravy, stuffing, just a bunch of stuff it was crazy
Wow!! You wrote that candy cane poem?!?! That was fabulous mom! great job!
I
am serving in the Pocahontas Branch! Pretty tight little branch mostly
grandparent aged members. and it is fun hearing all about grandchildren
and especially great grand children lol.
Thank you so much for your package and I hope you have a wonderful FHE!
Can you believe I have been on my mission for this long and have
NEVER had a correlation meeting? Super ridiculous! I really hope that
the one we are supposed to have on Wednesday doesn't fall through!
I love you so much! I will write more of the stories of this week
in a letter because I really need to go shopping. Especially to get
myself some more tights! Can never have enough tights! lol
Love you all!
Have a wonderful time getting ready for Christmas! Are the Christmas decorations up yet? ....are they going to be put up???
Have a great week!
Love
