Impressive. I'm happy to hear about the boys heading out. They're in for the best experiences of their lives. I'm going to have to talk to someone about teaching a mission prep class when I get home. I know I went, but I wasn't nearly prepared enough for what was to come.
Good old Max. (He is talking about Max Bingham returning from his mission in Japan)
Did I tell you that I met one of the companions of Kyra's Fiance? He's pretty cool. He played volleyball and football with us. We played more sports today. My companion is putting me through training to get me ready for Rugby when i get home. We went to the turf fields to run some drills today. Pretty cool. We'll probably be doing it again tomorrow or the day after. I love working out now. I feel better physically than I have in a long time.
We're the highest baptizing mission in the north eastern states. Something President Belliston is proud of and we don't blame him. We worked hard for this. Now we're working to exceed our goals. We wanted to baptize 400 this year. For a state side mission on the east coast thats hard to do if you're working the way you're supposed to. But reward and blessings come from faith.
Yup. Transfers is the day before my 1 year mark and five days before my halfway mark. At least thats what my district leader keeps reminding me. (He goes home in a month and he's trunky beyond all belief) I have some for you now though. Okay. The little girl with the red and black face is Anna. The six of us sitting on the couch from left to right is Elder Dutson, Anna, Me, Tommy, Allison, and Teressa. This was at the Trunk or treat. For the Zone Conference over halloween we had a pumpkin carving contest. My helmet to second place. I can a sucker, Where's Waldo hat, some goofy eyes, and Where's Waldo glasses. I thought it would look cool. The other two are just sunsets. I took them last night.
I wrote out my own hall of fame, but I'm not going to put the names on here, because everyone means something different to me. Just as you mean something to the Lord for each of your own reasons. If you wonder if you made my list just think about if you made the list of your Father in Heaven. Think about it. You chose to follow his plan and come to earth. You chose to leave him for a time. You chose to be live his teachings. If you think differently then just remember that with his plan you chose agency. Whether you want to believe it or not I testify to you in the name of Jesus Christ that its true. Never forget that. Think about it often.
