Dear Family,
Hey guys! Hope all is well back home! There's a lot to tell, so I'm just gonna hit the main points.
On Friday, Elder Strong left, so now I'm in a 3-some with Elder Gylling and Elder Larsen. I've been learning a lot. The days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days. That sounds weird, but oddly enough, it's true.
So I can only write on Mondays, so you'll probably only be getting a letter like once a week. But I would like a few here and there. ;)
I'm loving it here. I have never felt the Spirit so strongly besides when I'm the Temple. Speaking of that!! Today's my p-day and we went to the temple this morning and it was AWESOME!! I did sealings for the first time and it was awesome. I was able to witness and be a son. I did like 15 names! The Temple was just awesome.
I honestly haven't stopped smiling since I got here. I just can't help myself.
Real quick though, if you could send me my track pants that I had, that'd be awesome! And the rest of those Wisp toothbrush things, along with the memory cards. They are (or were) on my bed. And some more stamps would be cool, too.
I'm really starting to know for myself what 'love thy neighbor as thyself' means. I am coming a lot closer to loving everyone. There are a few elders I'll admit are still a little hard to love, but I still want the best for them.
Emily - be good and listen to Mom and Dad. It may be hard at times, but they really do mean well. I'm starting to learn that for myself. And I really really really am challenging you to read the Book of Mormon all the way through; you'll like it a lot. ;) I swear!
Ben - Be good and play nice. Don't focus on the Pokemon so much, kid! Just have fun. :)
Brett - Please take this other letter to the seminary, and could you get their address for me? It would be much appreciated. I implore you to read 1 Nephi 8. It is an amazing scripture. And if you pair it with Alma 32, things will click.
I love you guys! You are all individually in my prayers!
Hope to hear from ya soon! Peace out.
With love,
Elder Jones
