Well
it was just fantastic to see y'all yesterday! I loved hearing y'all talk about
life. That's the best part of being a missionary- seeing the blessings poured
out on the people I interact with! I was tickled pink (or rather, scarlet) by
Scarlett! She is just a fireball! Haha.
This
week was stinkin' fantastic! We found 7 new investigators, and we put 3 people
on date for baptism! It was really a week of harvesting the field. Y’know, it's
"white, already to harvest" (D&C 4) and all that jazz.
D&C 4:4
For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
So
there were some things I thought of this week that I didn't wanna waste time
saying yesterday. Here they are:
I
found my first official, bright, vibrant, unholy, cursed white hair this week.
Since then I've found many more. Like father, like son, I suppose. I sure hope
that's the case anyway, cause I'd rather have hair that's white than not at
all- and besides that, dad looks like President Uchtdorf when they're wearing
glasses, and I want to too! :D
This week it started raining hardcore, and it was the first time on my mission I've been completely, head-to-toe soaked. It was intense! My planner is all crunchy now that it's dried, and my pocket has some slight discoloration from the pass-along cards. Hahahahahaha.....

I
really wanna read this book called Leda and the Swan. Never heard of it before
a couple days ago, no idea what it's about, but I want it. I hear it's great!
Anyone know anything about it? And if you do, do you think I could get
President Holm's approval to read it?
My
poor feet are blistered, cracked, bruised, and battered from all this walking.
I sometimes feel like performing an amputation, but I think it'd be harder to
walk around on nubs. The fact remains that I'll be walking anyway, so I might as
well get over it.
That's
about it. Oh yeah, a guy down here told me I look like Jimmy Osmond. Is that a
good thing...?
Love
y'all so much!
Hurrah
for Israel!

For what it is worth, I read a poem in college about the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan. The myth was that Zeus took the form of a swan and raped Leda, from which she bore him two children....
ReplyDeleteMaybe there is a new book with that same title...I wouldn't think of the original myth as being missionary-type reading. :-)
