So here I am at a
member’s house doing my mail on their phone... So I won't be able to get you
guy’s pictures again this week. My goal is to talk to the bishop this next week
to see if I can use the computer at the church or something. P-days have been
great lately, because the weather has been great, but today it’s raining... So
we will probably be staying at the house, or at a member’s house talking it up
in French or Tahitian haha. I love my mission, 3 months left is actually very
painful to say. I look at the life you guys are living and it freaks me out. So
many decisions to make every day. Where me, while I've been on my mission have
only been deciding what lesson to teach our investigators. So, I'm preparing to
have my head explode. I have no idea what I am going to do after my mission, I
had it all planned out when Amanda was in my life, but now that she's gone, I
feel like I've got nothing. It’s sad but true... My future was planned around
that chick ha.
My companion keeps
telling me that I'm lonely because members and investigators keep offering me
their daughters to marry and I actually think about taking them up on the
offer! I just need to survive these next three months without making any
promises and I'm good to go! I'm focused on my mission, it’s just that now is
the time to start preparing mentally for the life after the mission so I'm not
in too much culture shock. I'm officially in the oldest group in the mission;
the next ones to go home, I should even be getting my plane ticket in the next
few weeks. But! My mission has never been better, I have a great companion, and
we get along great. My ward just keeps getting better and better as they get
more used to me and I to them.
The investigators
we have are progressing and it makes the work so much more enjoyable. Lessons
have been really enjoyable lately, my companion tells me all the time that when
I talk about my family, especially my sister, he sits back and lets me talk
because they are the most powerful moments. I've truly gained a testimony and a
love for my family. The spirit testifies every time and the investigators
understand better when I tell them how much I truly love them. Honestly, when I
think of how Christ would teach, I believe that he never stopped telling or showing
how much his brothers and sister meant to him. That truly is the example that
I've been following, it’s the path I've been trying to follow. It’s never done
me wrong. The savior trusted me with the souls of his children, the best way to
make him proud or please him, is to treat them how he would have them be
treated; with love. I've gained a testimony about a lot of things, but like the
brother of Jared, my testimony of charity is starting to become more knowledge
without doubt. I love this work so much, because I love the people, and
especially my savior. I'm excited to see you all in 3 months, the time will go
by way too fast, pray that time may go slower for me, and I need it! Stay safe
this week! I love you all!
