Best Son Ever

Dear Family,

I want to start off by sharing a quick excerpt from a talk. This talk might be the best talk I have ever heard in my whole life. It is from Jeffery R Holland, in a Missionary training in 2000 but it is soooo good!! I invite all to go online and read it. The title of the talk is Missionary Work and the Atonement. Alright so this is the last little bit from good ol’ Jeffers talk. “How could we believe it would be easy for us when it was never, ever easy for Him?....If He could come forward in the night, kneel down, fall on His face, bleed from every pore, and cry, “Abba, Father (Papa), if this cup can pass, let it pass,” ¹⁶ then little wonder that salvation is not a whimsical or easy thing for us. If you wonder if there isn’t an easier way, you should remember you are not the first one to ask that. Someone a lot greater and a lot grander asked a long time ago if there wasn’t an easier way.” Holy COW!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) is that not the greatest thing you’ve ever heard?? This is so true. It’s okay to think this life is hard, because Jesus Christ, the Son of God, asked the same exact question. But you just have to endure. Life can throw so many obstacles in your path, but it’s supposed to happen. So just deal with it and make the most of it. :) You all need to go read this talk. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

                This week….. Hmmm. We also had stake Conference. It was so good! Every single talk had something to do with missionary work. This was so nice, because we are really trying to get the members coming teaching with us, and this conference was just saying you don’t have any reason not to go out with the missionaries. :):) :) :) So let’s hope for the best that this week goes better. President Jordan was there and me and the EQP went up together to talk with him, because there is strength in numbers, if you know what I mean Hahah  :) And we asked if I could go to a football game this December and President said you have to be serving in the area where the football game is being held to go to a game. Sooo that kinda stinks, but I’ll just keep the EQP’s number so when I serve in that area I can call him up and say, “YO Kyle!! Get me some tickets!” and then before you know it I’ll be at the game having the time of my life :) Alright time for some GREAT news!! So every Wednesday at 6 a few of the members and their friends get together and play football. And they invited us to play. And when I say they invited us I mean I kinda demanded that the missionaries should come and play, because we can hold our own. :) haha and the best part about it, is there is a 18 year old kid who is semi-pro and is having try-outs for some premier league teams… so I get to compare myself with this guy :) I’ll let you know how it goes next week :) Talking about football can you send me coach Castles e-mail address? I need to ask him a few questions. Thanks :)

                This week was a’right. We had all of our “progressing investigators” (which was about 2. Hahah) drop us. They just said they don’t want to speak with us anymore. PSH! Can you believe that?? We are trying to save your soul here Mister!!! And you want out? I don’t think so. Ha so that’s a downer. On the plus side all of our “non-progressing investigators” (which is about 2 hahah) are now progressing!!!!!!! :) :) (“You bet they are!” – Bob Wiley) so we have this older man… and he’s about… let’s just say it’s a race against the clock to get him baptised before he is dead. Haha And this week he was just so much happier about the gospel and reading!! We taught him The Plan of Salvation, because we figured that’s the most applicable lesson to him at this time in his life. Haha  and he absolutely LOVED it! :) Oh it was so great to see him frasp certain concepts and get happy about this gospel :) :) So this week, we are going to try our absolute hardest on finding a family. One that has a dad. Cuz every family in this Country is fatherless, because all the husbands run off after they figure out they are about to have a kid. Stupid Brits. JK LOL :) So if you would like to pray for us to find a family that is interested in learning more about this gospel that would be great!! :) That’s really our only “main” goal this week.

                Well that’s about it from me. And I can’t express how much you mean to me. When I say you I mean Mum, Dad, Shanae, and Marae. Haha So please keep sending me e-mails and keep doing missionary work!! It sounds like you are doing amzing things Shanae! Keep it up :) Mum keep up on your real estate School. YOU CAN DO IT! I know you can :) Marae,………….. hmm……… ha………………. :) I guess just keep doing your thing up in Logan! Haha but don’t grow too far apart from the family. Haha JK I know you won’t. You can’t even go a week without coming to see us. Which is great!! So keep doing that :) Dad, keep traveling the world and keep being the best example you can be to all those you come in contact with. When you’re traveling the world, talk to everybody about the Gospel. But especially talk to your business partners about it :)

 I love everybody SOOSOSOSOS Much!

Stay Strong and Stay Worthy! Keep going to the Temple :)

Love, Elda Wright
