Hi everyone!
Well, this week we got another
baptism. Her name is Tere and we've been working with her for about three weeks
now. It's super cool to finally see her baptized. The baptismal service went
well and everything. I feel like we all felt the Spirit there. We had other
baptisms planned for yesterday, but they ended up falling through. One we have
to drop because he's not progressing and we're hoping that the other will
finally get baptized this coming weekend. We'll see what happens I guess!
Other than that, not much new has
happened. We still don't have a cell phone and I'm still trying to be patient
with Elder Wheeler. I'd say I've been pretty good because I've managed not to
voice my criticism... my thoughts are another thing... My motto right now is:
If you can't say nothin' nice, don't say nothin' at all. :P Things are getting
better, but sometimes he just does things that I don't understand. Two of my
pet peeves are wasting time and doing pointless things. Elder Wheeler tends to
do a lot of things that (at least in my opinion) are pointless and waste
time.... Oh well, overall things are going well.
It's gotten suuuuper hot here! I've
never sweated so much in my entire life! You know it's hot when you start
sweating just from sitting around. I always have to be sure to drink a lot of
water whenever I can because I always sweat it out. When it starts getting hot
in Utah, you guys can't complain at all. Heat in Utah is nothing like the heat
here!
Mom - Glad to hear that you're still
enjoying work. I understand about not wanting to exercise because of the
weather. Over here it's so hot that the last thing I want to do is work up a
sweat. That's what we do all day! Anyways, I'm trying to add some pictures to
this e-mail along with a few on dropbox. As for your questions: my health is
good. I've
been a little tired lately too, but I think that's just the heat getting to me.
My feet are calloused, but fine. My clothes have a couple spots and small tears
here and there, but nothing big. Just the usual wear and tear. I
love you Mom and I love hearing from you. Take care. :) Love you tons! :)
Dad - Thanks for keeping me updated
on what happens at home. That colt sounds like a handful. Just gotta be patient
right? I keep thinking of the movie "The Mummy" when the girls says
patience is a virtue and the main character says Not right now it isn't! Haha,
but things are cool. I really appreciate your advice. I hope you're enjoying
your work and taking the time to horse around with the boys. ;) I love you Dad.
Keep the Lord close. :)
Well, that's about it. The church is
true. Christ lives and loves every one of us. There have been some really good
articles in the Liahona lately. I hope you guys are still reading the BoM
together and having Family Home Evening. Don't underestimate the little things
in the Gospel. Stay true to the Lord and He'll stay true to you! I love you
all! Stay safe!
Love,
-Elder Sean Horrocks
