HAPPY DAY AFTER SPRING!
4 MONTHS LEFT!
I hope you are doing well. The last week has been pretty good for me. My new companion, Elder Larsen, and I have been able to be a part of a couple of uplifting experiences.
On Saturday we attended the Denver Temple with Ron Buchner. Ron was the first person that I sat down and taught and the first person that I literally baptized. His baptism was one of the most spiritual I have ever attended. He recieved his temple endowments on Saturday and it was so wonderful to be able to be there with him. It was also nice to have some time to just sit in the Temple and enjoy it. Most of the time it seems like, as a missionary, you rush to get things done and leave. This time, because we had to wait a while, I enjoyed just sitting and meditating. I definantly had a good experience and I’m glad Ron did as well.
Sunday we went out to Calhan and attend a baptism of a gentleman that Elder Larsen had taught while he was there. It was a nice baptism.
Yesterday Elder Housley, my first companion in the mission field, called me. He’s been home a little over a year now. It was good to hear from him. He mentioned that his the company his wife (yeah…he’s married already) works for is looking to redesign their web site and he thought I should look into it when I get home. It’s a large company in Utah and they paid about $50,000 for the current site they have. I’d have to learn a few more things, but those things were already on my list to do. I’ll most likely look into it when I get home.
I took a wrong turn on the way home on Sunday and ended up at the airport! I couldn’t turn around, as it was a one way road, my companion and I laughed the whole way around the airport, especially at the fact that we were in the “departures” lane almost the entire way. He even took pictures. It was strangely very exciting to be there.
I want to badly to e-mail pictures but, alas, I am using a library public computer that won’t let me do it. It’s frustrating.
I hope you are doing well. Feel free to write out e-mail me. I’d love to hear from you. Have a wonderful Spring!
