4- what is the most memorable service you have done w/Elder White
Just helping people move for the part. We have done about two or three moves together.
5- what has strengthened your testimony the most since going on your mission
I think seeing the power of God manifested through His Spirit in both the Priesthood and the answers to prayers. I can't tell you how much that I love being able to bless the lives of others with the Priesthood. Plus personal studying each morning. I just learn so much each day, I just wish that I could retain it all better.
8- are there any inside jokes on your mission
There aren't really any jokes in the mission that I can think of. But there is one with Elder White and I when two super cute girls came up to us and asked us if we wanted a drink since it was a hot day. We were hoping that they would come to the church, but they haven't showed up yet. Their names are Kathryn and Rachel, and we will probably never see them again, but that is one joke that we have. :D
Most of the time Florida stinks because you get the sulfur smell all of the time. In this area in particular. My favorite smell would have to be someone grilling on the BBQ. My least favorite would have to be the smell of beer and cigarettes. Sometimes weed too.
I'm with you on the journal writing. I haven't been that great on my mission, but I am tons better than I ever was at home when I would only write in it about once or twice a year.
I loved being able to see you yesterday, and I hope that you had a wonderful Mother's Day!!! I sure did being able to talk with you and the family.
That is so cool that you were able to go to the Payson temple as a family and with G&G Erdmann and Johanson's. I remember going to the Draper temple, and although I didn't really know too much about the temple at the time. I did feel different there. I think that it would be so cool to go to the temple open house again, especially since I understand a lot more of what is going on. But I have forgotten quite a bit, and still have lots to learn, but i can't wait!!!
I will be sure to spend some time with Kiera and Ben before he lives, and more time with her after he leaves, cause I know that that can be a hard thing to go through. I will also work on writing some letters for everyone in the family. That is something that I should be doing more of each week. I just need to make it more of a priority.
I can't tell you how much that it means to have such a great family supporting me while I am out here. I really don't think that I could do it if it wasn't for the way that you and dad raised me and taught me so many good qualities. Especially about personal and family prayer each night. Thank you for everything that you have done. Just being able to see you all last night has given me the drive to work my hardest with the little time that I have remaining left.
Love ya tons!!!
