He-ey! (make sure you pronounce that right)
So not a whole lot really happened last week-actually a lot happened but I
don't remember it..... I think I'm getting old. My memory is slipping. Which
is why I've made a goal to write a little in my journal each night! It's hard
for me because whenever I do write I feel like I need to write seven pages and I
never have time for that but I just need to write a little blurb about the
day!1111
Enough of my pointless dilemmas. This is transfer week but my companion
and me are both staying yay! Sister Schrishuhn(from my MTC district)'s
companion is going to be a traveling sister and Sister Schrishuhn is training!
After six weeks! I'm glad I get the full twelve weeks but I'll be ready to
train after that!
Yes transfers are every six weeks, except for this transfer which will only
be five (so I guess I don't get twelve) because they're shortening missions by a
week! I did get the package and the apple cider and chex mix was (* [] *). Hey
next time could you send me my slippers? Either the moccasins or the slip-ons
it doesn't matter. If one of those are in use you can send the other
pair.
Oh so last week (I remember things!) we got to teach seminary with another
companionship! They have release time here though so it wasn't in the morning.
But we taught the same thing to four different classes in a row, one hour each
plus lunchtime. We started out with a roleplay with me as the average
highschooled non-mormon and Elder Bertagnoli as my mormon friend and he shared
the BoM with me and asked if I wanted to learn more. So then he called Elder
Andes and Elder Palmer in and they taught the first lesson and committed me to
be baptized. Then we talked to the class about missions and preparing, and we
gave them mormon.org cards and committed them to
give them to their friends. It was awesome. One girl brought a friend, and this
friend later told a priest in our ward who told us at dinner yesterday that it
was better than the leadership class she had that day!
Seth is definitely my twin. Don't let Sister Spencer take away your right
to run around the halls Seth!!! But don't get addicted to the telly. That's no
buenito.
It's very cold here. If I had brought my camera I could have sent pictures
of everything covered in ice, but I didn't so I can't. However since we were
upgraded to full car it's not bad.
That's really cool about Christian and Kayla! Now there will be so many
Ariases!
I don't know anything about any German Shepherds. :)
Luke, you're schooling sounds so awesome right now! Don't take it for
granted, you are one lucky boy. And I'm glad you've finally converted to the
Church of Fred! Brother Toma will be fun also. Study Preach My Gospel too! I
know you've already read it, but I'm pretty sure you don't remember a billionth
part of all the awesomeness contained in that book because I sure didn't before
I entered the MTC. For my scripture marking I've been color coding topically
from the colors in the top of the chapters of PMG especially chapter three.
It's very useful.
Aside from that, Karin didn't come to church again because she's still
feeling bad. She'll be visiting the doctor soon. We've started teaching a
less-active-part-member family who seem pretty awesome. The husband (Doug) is a
member whose parents are also in 2nd ward and we met the wife(Autumn)'s mother
through street contacting and randomly learned that they were related. Doug and
Autumn have five kids all under the age of eight and they're very friendly and
receptive. She's going to be baptized she just doesn't know it yet.
Random Scripture Factoids: Guess what? I live in Salem! Salem is Hebrew
for "peace" and Melchizedek was the priest/king of Salem anciently. If the
greater priesthood was named after him he had to be awesome. But the children
of Israel proved that they couldn't keep the higher covenants so they were given
the lesser priesthood (Aaronic) preparatory to the Melchizedek priesthood, and
the Law of Moses preparatory to the coming of Christ! When Christ came he again
bestowed the Melchizedek priesthood upon his servants who in turn as resurrected
beings bestowed it on Joseph Smith!
LOVE
Elder Georgia
