I love being a missionary...I just want you all to know that. and the many times a day that I pray to God for His help and inspiration, I also include requests for blessings to my Family in Friends, so that means YOU....yes, if you are reading this...you are my family and friend...because we are all Children of God...yep its true...look it up...preferrably at mormon.org or lds.org...or in a mormon songbook...like the first page of the childrens songbook...or hymn 300 in the english version and a different number in the spanish one....
ANYWAY, sorry...a little distracted i guess :)
so as missionaries we go to the temple every other week and I LOVE it
there...the temple is a place of worship where worthy members of the Church can
make covenants and feel much closer to God it is a very sacred place. and I
literally started crying when I thought how as a missionary I may not have the
opportunity to go for the next 1.5 years of my mission...but I also know that I
have the important task to bring people to christ and then later (when theyre
ready) they can go to the temple and bring themselves closer to God :) but they
have to come to christ first -they need me and all my efforts
okay funny moment...elder cook is TERRIFIED of spiders well the elders
found a spider the size of a quarter and "drowned" it...its in quotes because it
didnt die...just went into shock.... ya gross right...well they had so much fun
poking the spider and playing with it while it was ...."asleep" and poor...well
funny...Elder cook was so terrified. he makes the best facial expressions so it
was hard to feel too bad...he makes us all laugh...and the poor guy couldnt even
be in the same room as the spider...
sorry that probably wasnt the funniest story....if i think of a better one
ill send it your way...
Members of the Church this weekend is General Conference an opportunity to
listen to MODERN DAY PROPHETS!!! that recieve revelation from GOD!! I encourage
you to tell people about this opportunity and have them come over and watch it
with you in your home in the traditional attire (PJS) hey who doesnt love a pj
party ?! invite them and tell them....BECAUSE WE HAVE MODERN DAY
PROPHETS!!!!!!!!!!! in our DAY!!!!!! ALIVE!! its phenominal! and if you dont
believe me then talk to someone that doesnt know about it yet...i guarentee you
will appreciate it way more. (oh and if you arent mormon then look on lds.org they will broadcast it and tell you what days
and times) i challenge you to watch it at the exact moment it is happening...to
adjust your plans as you need to because this is important...so very important.
dont forget to fellowship investigators of the church and new converts or
inactive members of the church...you do not understand how extremely vital it is
to their ability to stay active in the church.
it looks like i will leave here next week mon oct 7th idk the time yet but
i will get to email the day of or day before I leave and up date you more
i misplaced my list of items i wanted to tell you...so I may either send it
handwritten to my family or email it next week...ps dear elder.com is pretty cool...me gusta..
oh! apparently its not normal for it to rain for a month straight...it was
because of the hurricanes on both the east and west sides of mexico that the
weather was so bad...just random bits of rain...yep..so...ya...
ummm...something funny.....elder cook also calls Hermana young and I Herman
(pronounced very american) Ming and Herman Young....possibly due to a family
story that i hope my mom will tell for me...

wednesday...guess what he did instead....went to a beyoncé concert....guess what
he brought us back...pics and glitter...its currently in Hermana Youngs
