Hey dad, thanks for your email. I'm really sorry to hear about grandpa,
I was actually trying to hold myself together in the emailing room, I
have been praying and fasting for him this whole week, but I guess it
was his time to go. I cant believe that he has left so soon, I have
been praying that I would see him again after I come home from my mission, but
I guess i'll just have to wait a little longer.
The sunsets here are absolutely breath taking, I am going crazy
without a camera, ill just have to get some pictures from my
companion. I have not got my package yet but sister Morgan said I
should get it soon, hopefully I will get it next week. I am going a
little crazy waiting for it!
Gosh, are kidding that BYU lost, this week has not been very good,
a lot of are investigators have been ditching us, we did not get to go
to the temple and my grandpa has passed away. This is for sure not my
week. So some of the members went to the temple but we are not able to
go if no recent converts go, so that was a bummer. But ya they just
save up money and go on a bus, its about a 6-7 hour drive.
Packer and Oaks were just on satellite, it was great! Oh, and that
actually reminds me, did I ever tell you I met Jeffery R Holland, at
the mtc? He came a couple days before I left and I got to shake his
hand and stuff, it was very cool. I don't remember if I ever told you
that.
But thanks for the email, sorry my email is not very exciting it has
not been the best week, we did have transfers though and are district is
staying the same which is really cool. But its been good hearing from
you, love you dad. PS- I was wondering if maybe you could do me a huge
favor, I know you just sent a package but I was wondering if you could
send me some books, one is called missionary pal by Keith Marston and
the other is doctrine of salvation by Joseph fielding smith, there is
two volumes. I would really appreciate it if you could send these to
me, sorry I did not say this before you sent the package. Oh, I also
spent some money on my home card, I need to learn how to budget better
I ran out of money, it seems like they give us hardly any money but I
guess they do that so we learn how to budget. Thanks dad.
Love Justin
Mother,
Hey mom, I'm so sorry to hear about grandpa, I honestly can not believe
it, I really was hoping I would be able to see him again before he
left. Just know that he is really in a better place, my testimony has
grown so much more since I have been on a mission and I know that we
will all be together again after this life, there is no question in my
mind. I love all you guys so much I am missing all of you like crazy, but
I love being here.
Ya, that would be cool if I could get the address for the blog. That's
weird that you have not heard from Angie, hows that site going that
she set up, you guys should get together and work on it or something.
The weather here has been extremely hot I will never complain about
snow ever again, you are just constantly sweating, you never stop, and
I'm so thirsty all the time. It has not hailed again I think that was a
very rare occasion. We are actually trying to grow some watermelons,
it is very hard but I think we will get a couple.
This week has not been too good, but I'm doing good. I was able to
baptise this girl Janet yesterday it was really cool she is going to
be an awesome member, she is about 18-19.
we should hopefully get 2 family's baptized in December, so we should
have a white Christmas. But thanks mom for everything and your emails,
love you lots!
Love Justin
