I thought coming out that I was really prepared, only to find out
that I had had little preparation at all. I don't think there is enough
time in one year for me to be out with the missionaries enough to
prepare for what it is like to actually be one.
I wish I had spent more time reading the scriptures and studying
them, than I had reading all those novels. There is no greater book I
could have been engrossed in, than the Book of Mormon. I also wish
that I had learned how to study better. I can't tell you how much that
would have helped. But, I can say that I have gotten a few helpful tips
from my Trainer.
Believe it or not, I actually do miss 40 degree weather. There is
plenty of wind out here, being that is only like 2-3 miles from the
beach to our apartment.
If you don't mind, can you let everyone at the dojo know that I
said hi. That would be awesome. And let Mason and Chase know that I
really miss seeing them work hard, and that they were both great.
I am grateful for the words of encouragement and will strive to my utmost to seve with Honor.
My week was wonderful. We were able to teach this really cool guy
that used to be a surfer.
Yes. We do get to go to the temple Quarterly. my companion said every other transfer so that's pretty much every 3 months.
I get some emails from Elder Tribbett every so often and he is so
excited about it. He is full of love and encouragment and is always
sending Godspeed and Hoorah!
I am eagerly awaiting the letter and photo album and also have one
special request that if at all possible, could you send me some of the
strudel and other snacks? If not that's okay, but that would be awesome.
Oh! By the way, before I forget, sorry I wasn't able to email
yesterday. It was transfer day and so we didn't have a ride to get to
the places we were gonna go, cause everyone that was in a car had to go to
meetings.
How has it been at home?
Love,
Elder Jastal
