Dear Mom, Dad, Eric, Belle, and Coffee,
What a great week for you, Mom! It sounds like you have been a very
productive and busy bee. I'm so happy that you got so much done and had
that feeling of success that we all desire. I love the feeling that all
things are completed and completed well. Keep up that attitude of working
diligently in all things. I believe that you can hit all of the goals you
set, even when working. It's all about goal setting and planning though.
Way to be miraculous.
Guess what? I'm going to the temple this Saturday to see the
family I baptized with my trainer get sealed in the Salt Lake Temple.
What a wonderful experience. I can't wait to feel what that is
like. Seeing these people make the entire journey from no belief to the
temple altar. Too wonderful. I have been so blessed on my mission.
We baptized last week.
President Blickenstaff is amazing. He can command a
room in a heartbeat and fill it with the spirit. He is an amazing
individual who has done amazing things with his life. He loves the Lord
more than I understand and I want more than anything to have the kind of family
success that he has when I am 57. What a great man. He served as a
Stake President for 9 years. He is CONSTANTLY working and is honestly
inspiring. No one mission president is better than another. They
are merely different and you learn to love each one, like bishops or stake
presidents. I adore President Blickenstaff. Honestly
after two years of having doctors (President Blickenstaff is a surgeon), I'm honestly contemplating the medical field.
That movie sounds really awesome. I'll have to see it when I
return. It sounds totally appropriate. Feel free to put it on my list of
"to-sees". I'm more than willing to watch a clean wholesome
family flick.
There isn't much to report, I suppose. My companion and I are
getting along great and things couldn't be better. I love the Lord and
this gospel more than anything. I fear that my weeks in Taizhong can be
numbered on one hand. I don't want to leave. I love it. But,
surprisingly, I've already been here for 4+ months. I just got a new
companion who could potentially take my place and things look like I may be
heading south next move call. The last thing I want is to leave this
area. I feel like I'm totally in my element. The growth of the
church in Taiwan is rapid and incredible. I could be a missionary
forever.
I love you all so much. Don't ever worry about me. Just keep
yourselves focused on the Lord and His gospel. Read daily. Pray
daily. Go to church weekly. Obey the basic commandments. You will
never be led astray. Please do these things.
