week 73

Really... Twinkies too.....

wow.

I really appreciate the Spanish Grammar book. I am already using it. It is nice.

Oh.... Dad, thanks for your GPS. it is quite useful. 

I loved all the Christmas gifts. Thank you.

So this last week I would like to report that I informed the mission president of what I saw last week and I told him that I would inform the zone leaders. I informed the zone leaders and they told me they would address the problem. 

I then ran into some elders from my district at the family history center and I walked in on them looking at video game websites and other apostate stuff. I chastised them later on that night when I gave them a phone call. (I did that with as much love as possible).

Actually, I had a dream the other day that helped me know how to chastise and correct with love. I was doing something wrong (something I would not actually do) and it happened right in front of the mission president (remember this is a dream). President Brinkerhoff then corrected what I did in such a way that I felt a lot of love come from him to the point that I wanted to tell him thank you and that I loved him back (again none of this would actually happen, but it was just a hypothetical situation that I dreamed that showed me the way to correct with love.) I had that dream the week before all of that happened

Another story. I am the closest Spanish speaking district leader to Pocatello. So if Poky Spanish need a baptismal interview they need either me or the zone leaders here to do it, because we are the nearest leaders that speak Spanish, so this last week Pocatello actually had a baptism. They asked me to do the baptismal interview. We cannot interview anyone that we have taught. I asked them what the name was. They told me it was Shane I did not know a Shane so I was on my Pocatello they day they told me the baptismal interview was. (We had to get a ride with a member because we did not have miles). I still needed to find out the location of the place where the interview would be. They had given me this crazy address so I wanted to call them. Finally they get me the number of those elders so I can call them. We were already almost to Pocatello. The first thing I asked them was what was the last name of the person being interviewed and where he lived, just in case there was someone I had forgotten about. They then told me his name and it was not the name that they had given me and it was the wrong address as well. His name and address matched perfectly to someone that I taught while I was there. So I could not do the interview I was way excited that someone I taught was getting baptized, but now we had made it all the way to Pocatello and we had to drive back. The member just took us to Pocatello for nothing and the zone leaders had to make an emergency trip to Pocatello to do the interview. Everything ended well, but it wasted our entire night.
