The date for Elder Monzingo's return is rapidly approaching. Sometimes it feels so close and at other times it is still forever. We each have our own way of counting the time. Hannah has it down to the hours and minutes. I like the way Elizabeth said it yesterday: Four emails. I guess today that is 3 emails away. Today's post will include this week's email and last week's. They were both short. And NO pictures. Dagnabit. Short is not necessarily bad. He is busy. That is good. Here is the latest and almost latest:



The Prophets (Oct 9)

So this week was interesting cause there was a guy that wants to say that he's a prophet. That's always a fun conversation. But at the same time it's from things like this that you really know that people don't understand the real role of a prophet. Heck, I don't think I know what a prophet was or is or does just that they exist. But Amos 3:7 is simple enough to tell us that the Lord tells stuff to his prophets and 1 Nephi 1:18 shows us even more how this pattern works and the Lord first talks with the Prophets who then speak to the people. And really he shows us the will of the Lord. There are some people who say prophets don't exist or that they're a thing of the past but then again according to the scriptures if God acts in the world he tells his Prophets. So really they are important people. Not everyone can be a Prophet. Bu t when there is a prophet I know that following him we'll all be a OK. And he'll show us the way always. Love y'all


Oct. 16

Well...This week a funny thing happened. First off last transfer my companion and I taught this young man and invited him to be baptized. He accepted and then even though we've passed quite a bit by his house he's never there. And well, he showed up at the church Saturday for his baptism. He's definitely got the desire. Now we just need to run into him to teach him. But that's awesome that when people want something they go after it. So we kinda need to show the same desire when we follow the gospel. We had the conference this last week and we received some teaching that we should definitely use and apply in our own lives. That's what the prophet expects of us. But we got interviews with the mission president today and the zone conference tomorrow so I gotta dash. Love y'all


Update. Got some pics from mission president's wife.
