Palau has been good this week! I spoke only Palauan (within reason) the other day. Was fun haha. I have my drivers license and have been driving for like 4 weeks, Betel Nut sucks majorly and I use my long thumb nail as a multi-tool hahaha. Our daily routine is that we arise at 6.30am, exercise, then study for 3 hours, including language, then lunch, appointments, dinner, then appointments and in apartment by 9, sleep by 10.30pm.
Being on a mission and seeking out to learn things
lets you learn sooooo much! I'm going through mind blowing things. haha. I'm lucky enough to be with missionaries on
Palau who study right and help me to study right too.
I've really seen how important it is to study and to understand deeply
the doctrine
because it's far easier to teach it simply if you understand it on a
deeper level. I've really strived to know as much as I can about the
gospel - that really is one of my main focuses. And I've been given that portion
in lessons already and I don't even know much compared to what I can
know. I've been reading Jesus, The Christ which is AWESOME! and I also
read the lectures on faith. I love learning about the Gospel and I see
more and more how perfect it is!
So
good to hear about everything going on!! I can see all those movies when I get home and
I'll see a lot of cool concerts in the future haha. I'm giving all my thoughts,
wants and desires to the Lord so that I can be an empty vessel to be filled
with his inspiration, revelation and spirit for our investigators :) Speaking
of which 2 should be getting baptised this week :) Fritz and Raynaldo :)
Looking forward to that! So AWESOME!!!! Yesterday at fast and testimony meeting
Fritz got up (without being asked) to bear his testimony. He got up and said
"I've only been a Mormon for a little bit" and continued his
testimony on how he's changed.. He hasn't been baptised yet but he considers himself
a Mormon. GOLD! he's so awesome! Then he finished his testimony by saying
"Amen to everyone in this church" HAHAH He's is an awesome prepared
soul and wants to go to BYU Hawaii now hahaha.
So many good things happening with the work in Palau. The APs are coming to visit this week then
the mission president next week. Then in
a couple of weeks after that one of the Elders goes home and we get a new
missionary.
I love you mum and I’m so grateful for
everything you do for me and I am forever in gratitude to you and dad. I
miss you guys and thank you for
encouraging
me to serve a mission and supporting me no matter what :)
