hey dad!
sounds like you had a good time in vegas! that sure would be fun to see all them. good old Miles. little kids are like the best part about here haha. they are so funny. theres a little girl about 4 years old who is the niece of a member but the little girl herself is a muslim because of her parents. but the little girl always comes to church with the auntie. her name is siti sahara about as muslim a name as you can get haha. its funny because since she started going to church and learning stuff she would always tell her muslim parents, lets pray before we eat, and stuff like that haha. very funny.little kids are pretty darn cool.
thats too bad you had to go home so quick. but i bet you had a good ride home with doo. did you have any fun experiences with duke jumping on your lap while driving when you didnt expect it? those were always fun times haha.well that sounds good about gerry. hope i get to hear about it next week. i hope he goes somewhere neato. i had hoped he was gonna come here but then i realized his blood sugar thing probably wouldn't let that happen.ya I've been reading in Matthew as well. i read the b o m a few times and now i figured id start out with the new testament. i hope i can finish it by December at the latest so we shall see. its just kinda hard to get alot read because theres so many notes i have to take as i read. so if i can read a chapter or 2 in an hour I'm lucky.but thus far I'm in Matthew 25. good stuff indeed.
i get surprised sometimes by the sharpness of Jesus's words but i suppose he had to for the audience he had, and often times he says things that are vague so without alot of pondering and or usage of additional scripture the authentic meaning could easily be ascewed . I'm thankful for additional scripture and especially now the Joseph Smith translation. i used to be really weirded out by it. wondering why he changed the scriptures...but i just didn't understand then, and my testimony wasn't what it should have been. but now i get really excited when i see that little jst at the bottom because i get to see what it really means. its soo cool. like i forget the chapter maybe 23 its speaking on marriage and it makes it sound like after death there is no marriage, like no one is married in heaven, but from the d&c and the translation we clearly see that is not the meaning. i am very grateful.
Joseph Smith was an amazing man. i like the parable of laborers as well. that's a hard lesson but a good one.well pappy I've heard word that i most likely will be getting transferred here soon. not confirmed yet but maybe it was the same in your mission maybe not, but rumors get started and i heard that I'm getting transferred to sabah. to a city called kota kintabalu. its kinda the best place you can serve if you go to sabah, so im excited. not to be bad or anything but im also excited to get a new comp...shh don't tell anyone haha. if i do go to sabah my comp will be someone from my mtc group elder compton. not many people like him but we got along pretty good. once again i am excited but will be happy no matter where i go even if i stay here. Ive been in this area for 8 months already. what was the longest you stayed in an area dad? ok well ill talk to ya later dad. thanks for the letter! i love you. give duke a pat on the head for me.
