Eric, you look like a red-neck with a beard.
Wow, Brock is done.....(Young man in our ward returning on 9/26)
That's cool, tell everyone that remembers I exist I say hi to them. (Ward members asking about Scott)
Package?
Maybe skittles, but nothing else really. I guess, like as far as
Christmas, all I would ask is maybe a sweater, since now as missionaries
we can wear sweaters instead of suits. Members here say I have shed
many kilos, so if I wear my suits that are too big for me now they'll
think I gained it all back. But, other than that, there's nothing I
really need, I've been good.
Alright, well, this last week when writing in my
journal I have been writing in scripture language because I needed to
amuse myself, so now I shall thus continue my writings in holy manner:
And it came to pass that much preaching was done in
the land of Elbasan. After many hours laboring and preaching repentance
to the Elbasan-ites, it came to pass that three hearts were touched:
one man and two women. Therefore, the teaching of the Gospel began,
and after the space of many moons, the man said to us: "I
feel more full when we meet." He is a good man, born of goodly parents
who raised him with the idea of actually learning and being one of
intelligence. And thus, things were understood to him.
And now we return to the account when preaching and
interacting with two women. And it came to pass in the 20th hour of the
11th day of the 9th month in the 5 year of the reign of Obama, a women
named halted and spoke to us. And thus, on the morrow, we did
meet, and she brought an acquaintance. And thus the Book of Mormon was introduced to their
lives, and throughout all the lesson, the question hit their minds: Why
are their so many churches in the world? And thus begins an account of
the teachings of the Gospel with these two women.
And thus, while the working and tilling of the land
of Elbasan goes forth, we received a call from the Elders, preaching
down south in the land Lushnje. Elder Knight, my father, sends word of a
Lushnje-ite who wants to know the Gospel that has just moved northeast
in the land of Elbasan. And thus we marched our way forth to their
domain, where we met a family: a wife, a husband, and 3 small
children. And yet, that is not all. She comes with good tidings,
saying: "I have two friends here who want to learn as well." And thus,
our hearts were made full with the opportunities brought before us.
And now, I make an end of my sayings for this time, being filled
with the desire to save the souls of the ever-so-loving Elbasan-ites,
the Lord has thus given us means by which we can declare His word,
because of our faith. And thus it is, amen.
I hope that doesn't sound blasphemous, or like I'm
full of it. It really was a good week, and I know it only happened
because the Lord gave us the opportunity to find these people.
Anyway, have a good week! Be safe! Enjoy school! Don't do anything stupid!
