Thank you Mom and Dad for the early birthday wishes, yes don't worry about sending me anything because all I really want is to be home with you all! AHH I love our calls it makes me laugh so hard especially when I hear the kids being so grown up and more mature, so fun! oooo China Beach when I get back, no I haven't ever been there sounds like a blast though!
Final week seems serial in my mind to think that 2 whole years could move so quickly.
One thing that I wish to talk about with you when I get back is a kind of sensitive matter but I have had constant spiritual impressions to do accordingly, in brief terms I need to find out more of my own family history and find the work for those on my other biological blood line, I have felt nudges to go and do it...though I don't exactly know how to go about it I know God will provide a way that his children may find the gospel. I wish to discuss this more with you and Dad when I return of course and make a plan how to go about this.
I am super excited to see so many faces, one worry that I have is that I may not remember names and match them to faces in the ward haha. One other interesting thing that I have been thinking is strangely enough my Name haha I feel I will go back to Dylan, Kinda make it a Saul/ Paul moment haha this will be interesting to see all the confusion everywhere.
Well my talk is complete and I am typing it out today getting it all prepared. I thought it was so amazing to hear about all the non member attendance for that Sunday, I hope that they can make it and I can meet all I can.
Got to go and teach Sherry this week and taught her first discussion and also invited her to go to the family history center. Cool thing was that she went without us being able to go, AMAZING!
Also went to see a Sister who has been Less active due to health reasons, she lives in Port Burwell. After our lesson with her we explored the beach there. They have a submarine, and a cool walk way on the water, took some pics.
Elder Allred and I have been also busy helping out our single sisters with service from chopping wood, clearing lawns, destroying sheds, and throwing logs out of ditches (which we turned into a caber toss competition, which I won of course having more Scots blood than Elder Allred :P )
Oh how I love this work it is so true! It will be hard to leave it for what it is, but I will still have the duty to go and find those who need the gospel with or without a badge.
Again Mommy, Happy Mother's day!
I am so blessed to have a mother whom has brought me up in righteousness,
with patience, love and kindness
that I am not worthy to have at times.
Even then I am her's and she is mine,
God provided the means for that to surpass all our life lines,
She prays for me holding father's hand every night,
it bring upon me a miracle of an increase of divinely guided heaven's light.
Her anxiety must be off the charts at the moment,
having to wait the last home stretch must be a pull on the strings of her heart.
Soon enough she can have her family as a whole,
it would probably happen faster if that power was in her control.
I love my mother as Christ to Mary,
I am glad to strive to be like him and say "Father it is finished," and carry on with the next chapter,
things that we all will discover only a little bit later!
-A poem by request ;)
Love you all,
