Hi Mom!
hey, you did use my pot! i knew you would use it eventually! thanks
for sending the pic of it with the meatballs in it. were the meatballs good? how did the pot work?
anyway, i have
some big news, I AM GETTING TRANSFERRED AND ELDER HEUMANN IS STAYING!!! he will be
here for 9 months now! now, i just have to pack up all my stuff and hope i get a good area
and companion.
this week went by slowly, unfortunately. here is the excerpt from dad's email about the lessons this week: it was a slow
week for lessons and finding new people. we barely made our lesson standards this
week and it really sucked hahaha. we taught that kid named B****** a few times, we
read the Book of Mormon with him and i asked him in the middle of the lesson how he was
feeling? he recognized that he was feeling peaceful and i told him it was the
holy ghost. we are just trying to get him to read on his own. same goes with RD, he
is really struggling to read the Book of Mormon, but he loves coming to church. we had an awesome
miracle with a new investigator though. we went to A****'s, the less active we are working with, and one of
his friends was there. the friend swore up and down that A**** called us over
because he was there, which is not what happened. he left the area of the room
when we taught A****, but halfway through he started to move closer to us, and
then asked if he could join in. now he is interested in learning more! that
was just the awesome miracle that we needed. we had been having a rough day, and i was a
little trunky just because we had no one to see. they either did not answer or
we had just seen them the day before, so it was really nice to see that Heavenly Father was still there, and the verse in D&C 84:88 had come true.
so i have
some more good news--the mission puts out some faith scriptures on blue
flashcards that we memorize, there are like 17-20 of them, and if you memorize
them all and pass them off, you get a cool OCM pin that goes on your jacket. i
got them memorized after having made a personal goal with pres.porter to have
them done by the end of this transfer (which ends today), so i will pass them off
tomorrow at transfer meeting and get the pin! heck yeah!!!
i have no idea what my A1C was because they don't have a diabetes doctor at this Batesville clinic. they just did the
blood test, it took like 15 mins and then another half hour to do all the info, hahahaha that
was really funny to me how the lady was like, this is not an emergency, did you
freak out at first? hahaha it was really weird to have you on the line and me
right there, I could hear you! thank you though for getting the info! i will have to ask for my
results from sis porter or something.
that is awesome about mia's play, tell her
great job for me! and the same for the sacrament, i am glad that helped for you,
it really helps for me! and yes, a member told us yesterday at church, that is
so crazy about the gay marriage issue, i know it is for the children's benefit, but the
world will not see that, they will probably give us so much backlash hahaha. anyway, what is going on in your neck of the woods?
Mom: Yep, I used your pot. It worked well. The meatball recipe was a new one,
Brown Sugar meatballs. They were a little spicy and sweet, and I liked them a
lot.
Augh! I wish you knew your A1C!! You should probably just call Sister
W to find out, she would probably know more than Sister Porter, since she is the nurse. I hope
they sent it to Dr. Lindsay. Yes, it was good the lady said, “This is not an
emergency.” Because then I could breathe a sigh of relief! Although with the
call coming from “Batesville” on the caller ID, I thought it was most likely
going to be a member or something, so I didn’t freak out much.
That is a great miracle you had! And great job on memorizing all those
scriptures!!
So, no idea where you are going? That is crazy. Jake always knew
beforehand. Do you need supplies? How much do you have left?
Elder Sed: right now i am doing good on supplies still, i still have about 3 boxes of
sites and cartridges, and i am good on strips, so i think you will have my
address before i need anything hahaha but yes, i have no idea where i am going,
so yeah i have the butterflies hahahaha
Mom: I do not know how you have 3 boxes of sites! Are you changing it every
three days? It would have to be a miracle if you are and you have that many!
Try not to have the butterflies too much! Wherever you are going, it is
where HF wants. Remember your blessing where it says you will have angels all
around you. I know they will be there as you transfer.
Elder Sed: hahahaha, i don't know, i am changing my site about every three days, i
don't know how i have so many. i will try not to be too nervous--it is very important to
remember that Heavenly Father is always involved. and this just in, Elder H is
training again! i have a "brother!" hahaha!
well, have i got a story for you, this week i was on exchanges with
a farm kid from cedar city, and we wanted to find a dead squirrel to tan the hide and so over the course of the day we found a freshly killed squirrel
that a hawk dropped right in front of us! no kiddding! and we took it home and
skinned it at lunch, and now he is tanning the hide hahaha so now i can do
taxidermy! hahahaha
Mom: Well, that is hilarious that you had a squirrel dropped right in front of
you. I still think it’s crazy, you tanning squirrel hides.
Elder Sed: i have to go in a few. thank you so much
for emailing with me today and keeping me updated! is there anything else, madre?
Mom: Nothing else. We're so proud of you! Keep up the good, hard work!
Elder Sed: i have to go now, i love you guys so much, thanks for all you do! talk to you
later!
