if its not too late can i have my mission plaque scripture be 2 timothy 1:7? please and thank you! its short and sweet so they should like that...
well under 250
thanks for the camera case! i love it!!
is there anyway you could talk to bro mulcock about his sweet church bag from NYC and see what company it is and see if they have one that goes on your bike/just a messenger bag that isnt huge.... he has had his for like 7 years so its really durable... but the one here goes on a bike its uphill co if you want to check it out but its 33 dollars and i dont love it... if there was one for around the same price from that company i would probably like it more and that would be a more efficient way to spend 33 bucks otherwise ill just get the one here....
please do send the quotes you liked- over dearelder... you pick out good quotes so im excited. also could you send me that book you were writing in that one time in sacrament meeting? that one that all the people wrote in....? thanks!!!!!
well there is no real segway... im so sorry to hear about grandma! she is def in a better place though. one thing i have learned more about here in the MTC is to always have an eternal perspective... when you try to see it that way it really helps you out in life/saves you a lot of trouble... how are you doing? tell everyone at the funeral that i love them!
ok got to go think about the email to the family
love you so much!
will
hey family! i love you! and i love everyone else that is reading this! first off we got moved to a new building (3rd building! yay) on thursday.... mom is going to freak out but i cant resist telling you guys why. our old building is now the swine flu quarentine building! haha i heard from elder weir in my district who goes to the doc a lot because he has a broken foot that there are 6 people with the swine flu... we arent allowed to make any physical contact whatsoever here... kinda sad... no shaking hands even... also other big piece of news: hermano johnston's last day was monday- he cant work here anymore for many reasons the 2 biggest being he doesnt have enough time becuase he works at a science research lab at BYU and classes etc- he would go from 6:45 AM to 6:15 at night and then he taught us from 6:15-9:30 and then he had HW... and also his wife is expecting a baby! so yeah it was a sad day... but we had a really good lesson. at one point we were being less than spiritual adn then we said a prayer to invite it back and then read from our study journals (mine is the small moleskine one) anyway they are the journals that we take to devotionals and such and the spirit came back. there was such a difference! it is really amazing to notice how spirtually sensitive i am becoming. its also probably easier to notice when you have the abscence of the spirit than when you have the spirit.... also another random thing- i got to leafve the MTC campus yesterday! elder riska broke his glasses last week and so we got to take a shuttle to the optomitrist (sp) to get them fixed... it was only like 3 mins away and all i did was sit there and read the BoM but still... speaking of the BoM i started it again last weeka and i am already like 110 pages into it... i have to read 20 pages a day to finish before i leave the MTC. but its nice to read it straight through again-its so weird the different things you pick up! and i am studying it too- like writing in my study journal,.... its pretty rad hahahaha did you get my CD of the pics that i sent last thurday? was that the right contact box top barcode thing? in conclusion one last thing(well things) that i am leaning aboutis the importance of HUMILTY, FAITH and CHARITY (all are centered around JESUS CHRIST) in all that we do. i am really learning that the gospel is really just Jesus and the atonement and that everything esle is just extra.... love you all!!!!!!!!!!!! will ps theere are some elders speaking french just like 10 feet away and it made me think of you guys! lucy and emma- good luck at Evanston!!!!! swim hard! remember it does end! pps we get to be hosts tomorrow! (the elders that took the bags from me and like walked me inside) so that should be interesting. you have to be here for 6 weeks to do it so yeah we are the big men on campus now,.... hahaha must go time marches on and i have work to do love you!
