Mom,
The missionary apartment in Nashua is equiped with a life raft and flotation devices. We used it to get to the library today... jk. but practicaly. Our apartment is right on the river, so its probably going to flood. we are on the 2nd level fortunately. Peterborough elders are already flooded. hahahaha leave it to Nick to give some comment like that. but seriously though.
Oh yah, Nick told me of that show. Hes and ex-SAS guy who does all this survival. sounds cool. my kinda thing. Did you go willingly to Geocache, or did he somehow trick you into it? lol.
yah, itll probably be later the better. there are 4 of us here in the apartment, and im the furthest time zone. Ali and the Dubrows are excited to talk also, so keep them informed.
Yah, if you want to come to Boston lets do it in July before i enter the academy. A week before and such. the seasons are tough to catch, and are becomming increasingly unpredictable. I just dont want to be here when Boston floods We were going to go to the Lexington and Concord reenactment this morning (its Patriots Day. yah, youve probably never heard of it before), but it was canceled because of the weather. i was totaly bummed, because i want to see it soooo bad. its the morning thingy for the boston marathon. They start with the ride of Paul Revere, and then do the battle. The battle starts at 5:30 am usually, and Pres. England gave us permission to go, rain or shine, but it was canceled
Hawai'i? i guess so. mom, are you trunky? gosh. i still have a looong time. generaly english missionaries in the Boston mission serve for 2 years and 7 days. So my return date will probably be January 19th i think. its a friday i believe (or should be since trasnfers are on thursdays). Whatever.
Wow mom, your getting strong!! i use 45 lbs for flies when i do it (there is a gym in the appartment). I got a new bar, but there is no place to put it up in the new apartment!! its got me bummed! im going to figure somthing out. Im jus trying to get better at my PT scores as much as possible.
Well, we had to refer the family. There have been tons of miracles happening here, and the zone is great! we have zone conference this week, and im excited to be training. We commited 2 people to baptims this week, but no dates. they didnt show up at church probably because of the snow, but we are going to see whats us. Ive learned that you cant stress out about them and their agency, you just have to be crushed that they dont understand why its so important.
We had the chance to teach the Priests Quorem this week in church. It was sweeet. Very powerful. i was thinking of "what would i NEED said to me when i was a priest to help me decide to serve a mission". It was good. There are some really good young men in the ward.
We had some great lessons obviously, with some really prepared people. plenty of miracles, and many angles have been present. Things are great.
Well, i love you and miss you all. Tell everybody hi for me. Im glad that the snow is gone, and now its rain. I like rain more.
Oh yah, a family of 5 brazilians walked into church on friday, and asked to be taught. It was cool. the other elders are teaching them even though they are in our ward. we dont even really care as long as they are taught. Miracles are happening because we are praying and being obedient. The Work can go so great if you simply exercise your agency unto faith, and work to the best of your ability.
love ya and miss ya.
