Moses 6:34

Hey Everyone:

First off, Mom . . . .I DID NOT FORGET YOUR BIRTHDAY! Time ran out on me on my last e-mail, but I was gonna write something to you. So, happy late birthday, I'll send you a letter soon.Love ya!

Soo, Thanksgiving . . .WOW. Elder Holland did come and it was AMAZING. That guy is on a winning streak on recent talks. So a few weeks ago we all have to write down a question we would ask an apostle, and turn them in. He picked 3-4 good ones and answered them at the devotional . . .not mine, haha. Wish I could tell you all he said but no time. Just trust me, you all know how he is. After he answered the Q's he gave a strong testimony and some advice for us. Best devotional yet by far. The food is a different story, haha, not too good. Typical thanksgiving good, but not too tasty unfortunately, not too surprising, haha. Glad you all had some good times.

Teaching in Finnish is coming along tosi hyvaa. There are always ways to improve, but we are getting better by the day, and tomorrow we teach the Plan of Happiness. Lots of stuff to cover and a lot of Finnish. The other day my teacher took my outline I wrote out in Finnish to his meeting before our class. He and the younger Finns teacher edited it and gave it back to me. They liked it and only a few minor corrections and advice. So that was good. Pray for me for huomenna! Kiitos!

Dad, you ready for this . . . . . drum roll . . . .your gonna be so excited . . . .I have picked a missionary scripture :) Moses 6:34. BAM. As for the picture going on the plaque... Is it removable?? I wanna like the picture going in it, haha, gonna look at it for the rest of my life, and will be on display. Is there a way for you to send me a copy, or I send you one I like and you can just tell me the specifications for how big and stuff. Kiitos. Let me know.

Shannon, feel better and get some rest sis. The baby Patience gave me a good chuckle, poor kid. At least it's a Christlike attribute, haha. Thanks for the mail and updates. Love ya!

Ok, here's some quotes fom recent devotionals and firesides. No time to explain them
-Obedience with Willingness and Exactness
-"Thanksgiving holiday is over, but the day of thanksgiving lives on today and everyday."
- "Foreknowledge is not predestination."
- "I want you to be homesick, it's how God feels all the time, so when your families are looking at those empty chairs this holiday season, think about that. We are doing this work to fill those empty chairs in Heaven."
- " Can't have the coming/returning without the going" referring to God and Heaven. We must do our part
-"You are called to a Full-time mission, not a part-time"
