| Elder Sedlacek after reading the Book of Mormon in one 15-hour period. |
hey dad, so this week was pretty good. for new year's we had to
stay in from thursday at 6pm until saturday at noon! i will talk more in mom's email about what we had to do during that time, but it goes along really
well with the thought you had about the Book of Mormon. so we were not able to contact the
nigerian man this week. hopefully we will in the next few days. we are still seeing g*****, m.j our less-active and s***. there are a few
others that we see, but we haven't seen them long enough to know how they will
pan out yet. we are still working with a lot of less-actives. we got s*** to come to church yesterday and he really liked it. he fits
in pretty well and his off-the-wall personality makes elders' quorum fun
hahahaha. then we got another less active named j*** to come back to church yesterday. it was a good sunday. my new year's eve was pretty good, you will
hear more about that in mom's email, it is worth the wait haha. i am glad that
you had a good one as well. i figured the snowman would end up as another snow
zit without me there hahahaha--just kidding. the snow always seems to not want
to cooperate these days. we got a light dusting of snow here last night so there was some
snow on the roofs and on the cars, but no where else. it was nice to see at least
a little snow. that is really awesome about your experience from fasting. fasting
really works. i fasted to help me recognize the spirit faster and stronger this
week and i immediately saw results--it was cool. yesterday we were walking along
this super busy road to contact a referral, and this guy drove past us and was
making fun of us. in my head i thought, "this is it, the trial of my faith
before a miracle" and about 10 minutes later this random non-member pulled up
and gave us a ride to the referral's house! it was awesome, the driver wasn't even interested but it
was great to have that miracle. that always happens, after the trial of our
faith, we receive a blessing. thanks for the awesome thought this week dad, it
will tie in later in the emails. i hope you have a wonderful day and week. I
love you dad! thanks so much for all you do! talk to you later!

hi mom! so this week flew by! i did get the package on new year's
eve, thank you so much for it! i LOVE those paisley ties that you bought for me!
they are awesome! thanks mom!
so for new year's we had to stay in from thursday
at 6 pm until saturday at noon. it was a long time. we had to do some packet work
and part of the packet was to read the Book of Mormon in one day--on new year's day
from 6 am to 10:30 at night! i was so drained mentally by noon hahaha but i
finished at 9:05 pm. it was so hard hahaha. when i finished, i was talking to my comp (who is a speed reader and finished at noon!) but i started mixing up
words because i was so tired hahaha. then i went to bed. other than that we did
the packets which were really good. one made me cry hahaha i am becoming such a baby when it comes to spiritual stuff hahaha.
as for church this week, i wrote all
about it in dad's email. i also wrote about all the 'gators so you can read about that there. we did get s*** and one of our less actives to church. it was great to see the fruits
of your fast! thanks so much!
i agree with your view on new year's goals, they
are great and all but i too want to continually improve, so i am always working on
something hahaha. that is good bro A is doing well, he is a cool guy. it is sad about sister A, although i am sure she is happier where she is.
i am glad you did the traditional stuff for new year's, i could picture you guys
doing all that stuff, good news is there is only one more to go hahaha (not
trunky hahaha). that fruit "salsa" & chips sounds good that they made. maybe i
will make some haha. that is too bad jake and jeff were sick, that is no fun.
my
blood sugars have been good. i loved how in the package you wrote the amount of
carbs in the chocolates hahaha. i was like "mom is going through diabetes
withdrawals" hahaha. that stinks about the 1-4pm block. we have the 9 am block now, we did
have the 11. what are you talking about i never even said a word about
being hungry when we'd get home from church after 4pm! hahaha jk. i did not know what having no food meant back then
hahaha. that is cool you are still teaching piano, and the tutoring too, good
luck mom!
for today, we have a zone fun day at the church, so it
will be fun to hang out with elder nielsen and huemann again. me and my comp are getting along, but as always when one obedient missionary and one
that is not quite as obedient are put together, there are usually some disagreements. he
wanted to start p-day early today and i told him no, so he yelled at me at the
top of his lungs hahaha. things are going well though, and we do have fun
together.

Hey
President, sorry i didn't email last week, there really isn't an excuse, but the
computers at the library had a malfunction so I was not able to get all my
emailing done. this week was awesome, it was probably the best christmas I have
had in my whole life. it was so awesome to be able to talk about christ for his
birthday. I felt the spirit so much, it was great. we found a few new
investigators this week, and so hopefully we can stay in contact with them and
help increase their faith. My comp isn't the easiest companion to get along
with, but he is a great elder and he knows a lot. he may not be the most obedient,
but I am trying to work on that. I have already learned so much from being with
him and I know i will learn a lot more. Well, I hope you have a great holiday this
week. thank you for all you do, president! love you!
