CALLED TO SERVE: starting to figure out this 'best 2 years' thing

me and my anak

NAY

so i'm really starting to figure out this 'best 2 years' thing. SUNNY WEEK. declaring repentance.

crazy weather for you guys. it's hard to believe you have snow over there while it's just felt like a long summer for me.

tell dad to email me about his knee injury. curious. i'm sure there is a story.

1/3 done, what the!!!!!!

oh, also cool about the general authority coming to your stake conference this weekend and i ain't tryin to brag but elder bednar and shane bowen (area president) are visiting on the 24th. hyped!

so we have a new ENGLISH investigator. he's from sweden and everybody says he's nuts. i can kinda tell. told us he fled sweden for his faith and life from the muslims. man, he is really racist against muslims. it's kind of hard to bear. he's told us some insane funny stories and is super spry for 72 years old. he loves to talk and its soooo weird teaching in english. it's cool tho \, ill just say its much easier in english, oh man. he married a filipino for that green card and now he can't stand her. you gotta meet this guy, he's so funny. we do some great grandpa type joking with him. his stories are bizarre but enjoyable. it's nice actually being able to understand everything the investigator says for a change. i cherish him.

also met an LA who quietly but surely called us over. had a tears full lesson and he is an amazing man. when he was converted at 12 he would live and study with the missionaries all the time. i can only imagine those memories for him. i really, really love that guy. his name is Flavvy. super humble. found him in our LA gold mine, Castillo. it's crazy, we have had so many LA's come to church after years of inactivity. that never happened over in dupax. man that was a rough area. this place is prepared!

the anak and i passed our 1/4 mark together and i'm starting to remove some of the baby proofing things from around the house. he's really growing up ;') i have it pretty lucky here. one of the roommates often tells me "you are blessed elder." how right he is. the anaks a breeze. super humble, never offended. love that about him. just got to work on my paitence.....
