September 13, 2011

Family! How goes it this week. Sorry again for not getting that letter sent last week, it's right here with this one. We just didn't have time to go to the mail. That's awesome Ross Summers got married. It sounds like all of Garland Valley is getting married haha. That's crazy the church is starting to plan for lock downs! They must know something that could happen in the future! Or just being prepared! They said the last Mission President talked really good and was nice. I love President Klein. He is way cool. I decided I don't want a motorcycle. I've seen so many wrecks here. They are awesome and I will ride the ones we have in the mountain but I want a car. When I arrived here I knew nothing about the mission, but now I know alot and know how it works and how the mission really is and I've realized I love it even more now than the idea I had before. So you know that trip to fingernail painting (mom note: it was actually pedicures) I've read the story several times. ha It's funny every letter I got told about it! That's awesome you fixed lunch for the missionaries and made things that they probably haven't had all the time. Here is watermelon season so practically every meal we eat watermelon! It's good but not as sweet as there, I don't think. But oh man we have a Sister here Nora Ney. She is our absolute favorite lunch! She makes meat, lasagna, salad of this fruit and then either asai juice or cashew. I love her cashew juice. It's so good. We have lunch there tomorrow. I'm excited. All the lunches though are pretty good. We don't have one that we stress about going to. So the photo plan that I came up with is as follows: I will take photos until my card is full then I will copy and burn those photos to a cd then I will send that memory card to you in a normal letter, then you copy and erase all the photos on the card and send it back to me. Then I will keep all the cd's with me and start over. Sounds good? Because e mail here is bad! We went and talked to the guy about ore's. It's going to be awesome. He is going to make it of the foto of Moroni praying and placing the plates in the hole. I think it will be cool. I hope he finishes in time. So one more time I will write Happy Birthday Jeremy and Anniversay Mom and Dad! I had so many people talk to me about September 11 here. It was an event that changed the world. I really felt sincerity when they talked about it. It was neat. But I think thats all for this week. Enjoy the photos that are taped in the planner! I Love You all! Elder Deakin
So I started a few weeks back studying the New Testament with a manual called The Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ and His Apostles. I Love it so much. It has opened my eyes up to so many things, but that is why my messages are from the Bible. Matt. 10:28 In this world there are many things that can hurt us, bikes, motorcycle wrecks, many things that can hurt our bodies, but Jesus doesn't warn us to be careful of these things for bodies can heal. Instead beware those that can kill the soul. The soul doesn't recover as easy. We need to be aware of spiritual blades that can cut and scar our soul leaving us "spotted" in the world.
