freak im back on the computer emailing.... this week went by
meggggga fast!
ill be honest sometimes i really hate emailing because
my mind has to think so much about what to say and it stressed me out so much!
haha i always have headaches after emailing....
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR LETTERS
Mom you are the best mom out there!! you are the best billy
goat i know :) the best hobby there ever was!
I GOT BOTH OF MY PACKAGES! andddddd they were soooooo
sweet...
i love me some american candy
i gobbled those twix up in 2 seconds
and i cryed like a little baby girl reading your letter
being a missionary turns you into a tender little girl
crying all the time
but then again thats how i was before my mission
ummm lets see what ive got for the week
so remember when i talked about the 91 year old grandma last
week
oooo baby girl she is the cutest little grandma...
i dont think as cute as my gammy at home but shes pretty
close
by the way give a shoutout to gammy at home! tell her to
watch out for mr jones.... gammys a gold digger always looking for older men
with money
anyways this little grandma here is soooo sweet
we are reactivating her back into church
but the only thing we needed to do was walk her to the
church every sunday
so this sweet little 91 year hold takes my arm and we take
baby steps all the way to the church
she tells me her whole life story and i repeat the things
that she says that i can understand...
haha she is soooo awesome! she calls me her grandson
we were reading scriptures with her and i asked if she could
read this verse.... the verse was kinda small and she got reallllllll flustered
with me that i asked her to read such a small verse... "but this verse is
tiny! i want a big verse"
ha shes dope... 91 years old and doesnt even need glassed to
read! shes a real champ...
i made reallll good friends with this down syndrom girl...
shes a real sweetheart. haha shes not a real big fan of was she calls
"negros".... which just means darker skinned people.
so for that reason she loves me!! haha ive got some nice
white skins so were realllll good friends.. i think she might like me a little
bit more than friends... haha we chat it up and i crack jokes with her
its sweet because if i dont understand what shes saying she
just keeps on going...
she was begging for a picture of me so i made a killer deal
with her...
im going to give her a picture of me with my long hair in
trade for something she is going to sew for me and i can put it in my
scriptures.... EVERYBODY HERE LOVES MY LONG JEW HAIR!
i guess i look like some romantic argentine singer with
super long jewy hair!
ummmm its soooo fetching HOTTTTTT
I just sweat
and sweat
and sweat
im cooking
i go to sleep..... and cant sleep... i just sit in my bed
and sweat like a hot dog. haha im such a baby and cant sit still during
lessons. i have to get up and walk around for a little bit....
this humidity is the death of me
i was sleeping the other night and it was really awesome
because i woke up to something crawling up my leg.....
no big deal just a nice big cockroach.... so i smashed hit
and gobbled it up cause i was hungry!
no, not really, that cockroach scared me! i dont think i
went back to sleep for another 2 hours...
that little demon cockroach got the best of my sleep....
ive been bit a million times... ive got but bugs and they
are eating me alive...
bug bites allllll over my body...
i kinda like it though so its okay.
haha im constantly scratching my whole body because there
isnt a spot i havent been bitten!
ummmmmmm well i was in a meeting with all the missionaries
and somebody said that it was thanksgiving in the states!
i freaking forgot about thanksgiving! hahah how could i do
that???
so i hope all of you have a sweet thanksgiving and gobbled
up some delish food!
i was thinking about thanksgiving and the main purpose
behind it...
about being thankful
im so thankful for the opportunity that i have to be here....
to say its easy would not be telling the truth... its so hard but i am so
thankful for it. there are so many things that i have learned about myself that
wouldnt be possible without my mission
i am so thankful that i can take upon myself the name of jesus
christ and respresent my name as well as the name of jesus christ on my
missionary plack.
that everyday i have the opportunity to share with one
another the love that jesus christ has for them
that i can share the truth
i am grateful for my family... i have beeen blessed with the
sweetest people ever in my life... ive got a sweetheart for a mother... she may
not be able to say the word wolf but i love her anyway... shes a good billy
goat.... i dont know a more loving caring person than my momma
ive got a dad who has a way nice bod.....so give him some loving! haha but seriously
im so grateful for a father figure... somebody to look up to... somebody who
has given a perfect example to me my whole life.. someone who has taught me to
be a man and never make excuses for myself
and ive got two sweet brothers who always picked on me...
that because of them i flinch over every reaction because i always think
somebody is going to hit me! haha but seriously im so thankful for my brothers
and their examples for me... for serving missions and setting a path for me to
follow
im thankful for my puppy lenny.
hes my best friend and he has jew hair just like me :) his
breath stinks but hes my best bud... hes always taken care of me when im sick
and picked me up when im down... thanks lenny your a good pooch
im sooo thankful for the people in my life and i wish i
could write to all of you and give my thanks....
im thankful for the chance every day to increase my faith in
jesus christ
in preach my gospel it says
faith is accepting jesus christ as your savior and
redeemer
something that catches my attention there is the word accepting. the word accept can mean "to receive
willingly". to willingly receive that we have 1 true thing in this world
to save us.1 true thing to save us from our mistakes and sins. to save us of
our pains, sufferings, and sorrows. our savior Jesus
Christ is that 1 true thing. also to "willingly receive" or to
accept that he is our Redeemer.
Redeemer can be put into the words of "rescue by paying a price".
those words hit me hard. that Christ is my Rescuer.
that through christ he can rescue or set me free of all of my sins as well as
my pains and sorrows. Jesus Christ is that kind of Rescuer because he payed a price. that christ payed the all time greatest
sacrifice just so that i can be set free. so that i can be rescued by all of my
short falling in this life. that i can be rescued of all the times i feel pain
and sorrow. that i can be rescued or set free to fell that joy and happiness
that he so desires me to have. i have faith
that i do have that kind of savior. that kind of
redeemer. I HAVE
FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
thats all i got for the
week!!
some of these girls reallllly long "shonkees" or
yankees in english... another word for "gringo"
so im keeping my distance and staying on the safe side!
keep it real
smell ya later
love,
Elder Myers
