Well so much I
want to share with y'all. hummm I guess the best thing to let you know
right away is that I'm in Hopkinsville KN and on the flight here we had a
lot of turbulence and diverted our flight all the way into Kansas to avoid the tornado. Then at the airport we had to wait for some other
elders for 2 and a half hours on a different flight so I was able to
share the gospel with 3 people and teach the first lesson. Then one
person gave his name number and address to me so I was able to give it
to the mission president. Then at the mission home I did not get to sleep
till 1 because of so many meetings and the next day went off to
transfers, then off to 5 guys burgers, then to Hopkinsville. Hopkinsville
Kn is an amazing place with so much love and support. I have only been here
for a week but it feels like a year, yet it also feels like I got here a
few hours ago. it is the weirdest feeling ever.
I'm
being spoiled on my mission so you have no need to worry the only thing I'm missing is healthy food and John's cooking. I did not even think I
would miss it.
here in hopkinsville we have a full time car(most say its the only time it will ever happen on my mission)
I guess we also have thee nicest apartment here (its like the size of aaron and amanda's house and super open and all that)
I also guess its amazing weather right now and super dry for some reason. (I guess I bring good weather where ever I go)
and the members do so much to help
All of the members are amazing
and super kind even while out and about I have yet to be rejected or
have a door shut to us. everyone has such a strong faith in Jesus Christ
and loves to pray. Its so easy to build them up into the kingdom of God. all have some part of the gospel and with that part of the gospel
were able to help them see the rest
We
also been able to mow a law in our white shirts and we were able to
weed and put together a lamp (and I have stayed clean (with help from God))
we
are also working a lot with less active trying to help them see the
love god has and how through jesus christ atonement they can be forgiven
and to take advantage of it they need to go to church.
also funny thing fell asleep in the middle of a role play with my trainer it was a little funny. but great.
I told you about the last bit at the mtc and how I got sick so no need to
tell you about that delightful chunky throw up after
not eating anything for 2 meals (I would of thought it would of
been digested more) I did not eat much there after that it
was interesting
ok now ....
My
first day I almost had to do spilts with out yet spending any time
training. but the bishop could not make it so it turned out well also
the same thing happened again. I guess I'll see if it will happen a third
time tonight. I dont know
Know
of my love for you all and know of my thanks that aaron and amanda and
there friends are ok in OK. also know how thankful I am of the love and
support you show to me and the things you do for me. let neil know how
thankful I am for the shirts and example he is and the example my
family is from Robby to Jacob from Taylor to Ryan and from James and Lisa to Mike and Amy and all the wonderful examples and teachers in my
life I know you and dad have lead our family with the help of God
through prayer and that is so amazing and something I share.
