2013 September 16th

I don't know if I already mentioned this in one of my previous e-mails, but I have been placed in an area with a car and I am the one who gets to drive the 2013 ford fusion that we get around in. The only part that isn't too fun is that we have to switch out the car with another set of elders in our district. otherwise they would be on foot in their area the whole time. So rather than having them walk everywhere 24/7 they get the car Friday morning to Monday evening just after our P-day activities of the day. We get it for the rest of the time not included.

I was able to see President Ellis last week because he is in charge of helping us missionaries set up the Mission Choir. I am in it! The really cool thing is that the guy who plays the butler in Rigoletto is the guy they asked to be the voice coach for all of the missionaries that wanted to be in the Choir and so he is helping us get off to a good start. It was really funny because when we were first starting I thought he looked really familiar and I couldn't figure out why, but then I thought of the movie and I thought he might have been in it. I asked him at the end when he opened up the floor for anyone who might have questions, "Are you Familiar with the movie Rigoletto" and his reaction was something along the lines of, "Um, Yes... Who do we have to volunteer for the closing prayer. I Thought it was funny. I was able to talk to him a little bit about it after the closing prayer though. I never knew he was LDS.

Anyway, I just thought you might have liked to hear about that. It was great to hear from you and I hope that you all are able to have a wonderful week. I love you all.

Love,

I will just go ahead and say thank you for all the little "Spark notes" form conference right now instead of waiting till next week to do that, cause I am able to. Those are all good little tips and pointers for living a good, Christ-like life and they will help everyone who is struggling, and even those who aren't, to improve the Quality of their lives. It is also good stuff to hear as a missionary, because it will definitely some in handy to know all of it so that we can more effectively teach our investigators.

I love you too.

Thank you for helping me grow up to be like this. To be the kind of person that can share my testimony in such a way.

 

I love you mom,

Love,

Elder Jastal
