| My chain broke . . . kinda messy! May 9, 2011 Dear Fam: yeah ill have to snail mail the address on to you. we don’t have a word list around. it was good to talk you guys as well. kinda weird but good. it’s going by fast and is suppose to only go faster. elder Peterson and I are staying together this transfer... looks like I stay here for at least 3 more months and that will make it a grand total of 7.5 months in one area. I really want to go on to other places. I guess the Man up stares has better plans for me. I talked with the zone leaders a little bit this morning. the sisters in our district and e Peterson and I are the only ones in the zone that are staying the same. I guess pres is getting the mission ready for the next pres. this upcoming week is elder Peterson’s b day on Thursday. his mom gave him some no sad news. his father is passing away... not sure how fast but there’s a stem in his heart that isn’t working and he is having kidney failure. kinda on a low side right now trying to cheer up an already not cheery missionary is rough stuff. let’s see we got ray and his girls to church. Dylan came with us to a baptism. he really enjoyed. he feels the sprit he just doesn’t know a lot of doctrine and gets confused a lot with reading the scriptures. this week we will be doing that and help him on interpreting the scriptures. ooo there was a high councilor (man? I can’t remember the correct way to say it) came to our ward and gave the EQ, RS, YM, YW, and bishopric the low down on the focus list and how they need to do that :). I know I have tried to help out with that. I am glad that the stake has got our back and is helping out. Today is a good day for pictures - just talked to you yesterday and then no one else wrote me and now you get the pictures you have been waiting for. I made the cake. I was trying to carry out the baker name. it was for sister Sorenson’s b day. it would be interesting having a birthday on such a famous day as 4-20... I am glad I don’t. My chain broke a few weeks ago. I was going after some geese and may chain snapped!! I learned my lesson once again not to go after the little birds. The mounds were a really interesting thing. I think I told you a little bit about them. The sign tells you a lot. people are asking a lot if there is any physical evidence that the Book of Mormon is true. Here it is for me. I have been getting bloody noses a lot lately. It seems to happen every 3 weeks or so now. I can’t really remember getting a bloody nose outside of wrestling. and even than I don’t think I got a lot. It’s all kind of interesting Today as a district we will be bowling and also going to this sushi place. It’s the last big bang as a district. Elder Potter will be our new district leader. He came out with me but was in the other district. There’s still 30 minutes of time and I don’t really know what to write about. This last week we got in contact with a less active, well a few, but one that really was an interesting experience. Her name is sister Hampton. She is a bigger African American lady who lives in an assisted living center. Really nice lady. On her teaching record it said that she loves when the missionaries come by. We figured we would try to meet up with her. It took a while, but we were able to do so. We had an appointment for Thursday night. (we have joint teacher on Tuesday and Thursday in Eagan) We went around looking and looking for her, and we couldn’t find her. Stopped and thought for a while, and our jt said she is in the mess hall. We walk over and sure enough, there she was. The sprit is an amazing thing that can guide us to the people and the places we need to be. On Sunday we taught about the holy ghost and what its purpose is, and how we can feel it. I shared an experience that was very missionary like. A few weeks back Elder Peterson and I where biking around I think we were going back to our apartment. I was leading the way all of a sudden I feel the sprit leave. BOOOM! just like that gone. I looked around trying to figure out what I had done wrong, for it to leave like that. That defiantly is not a feeling that I want to have. Going from feeling the sprit to not and not knowing what caused it to leave. I turned around and my comp wasn’t there. I went back and found him after a little search. He had stopped to talk to someone that I hadn’t seen. Its amazing how the spirit works and how it leads us to correct ourselves or to help find those who are lost. This morning and last night I did a lot of praying and trying to figure out what my patriarchal blessing meant. I thing I figured it out for now. have a good week love elder baker P.s. where the quote for the week? (oops, I forgot to send it . . .) |
