Dashboard Confessionals 'A Plain Morning'
One of the few songs outside of the Beatles that I remember.
OH MY FAMILY. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I am a little nervous today to write my email. In this email that I write to you, I take pieces out and include them to my email to Presidente Cordon. He complimented me on how nice they were, so I am a little nervous to live up to his expectations. I hope I will do fine.
This week was just wonderful. On Wednesday, we had a Zone Conference. It was just marvelous. We learned a lot. I especially liked the training that Sister Cordon gave. In her training we watched a movie about the Willie Handcart Company. I learned a lot about dedication. It is an amazing movie. We will have to watch it sometime family. It´s called 17 Miracles. It is fantastic. I cried a little it was so good. At the end, Presidente Cordon invited me, Elder Grigsby and Elder Jackson (all from my group) to bear our testimonies. It was super special. My last Zone Conference. I got a little choked up.
I touched a little on dad´s conversion story and about what Roger Ethington did for our family. It´s too sad that it took me until my mission to be thankful for him inviting dad to be baptized. Well, then on Thursday we had Zone Leader Council. It was amazing. I sat by Elder Holliday, who is now a Zone Leader. Like half of the Zone Leaders have been my companions. I think that means I have had many many companions. hah. Then at the beginning Elder Grigsby, Elder Santos and I were asked to bear out testimonies. It was good. I can´t believe that was my last council. I will really miss that. I loved them.
Then on Friday night we had a special person come out and teach with us: Presidente Cordon! It was a blast! hahaha He came and picked us up and had M&Ms. What a great surprise. Then we went and taught Admilson and Kelle. We taught them about following the prophet today. It was super good. Then we were gonna review the baptismal question with him and President Cordon was like, you know, I can interview them right now if you´d like. and so he did. It was awesome because we had no clue when the interview would happen. It was super great!
The next morning, we went to the temple with Admilson and Kelle, Pres. and Sister Cordon were there to give them a special tour of the temple grounds and just to talk with them (it was previously planned out of course.) It was so awesome. I saw Marcos from the Xaxim ward. It was nice.
On Sunday we had Admilson´s baptism. It was super spiritual and Elder Croskrey and I sang (what?) but it was great. Admilson bore his testimony and it was wonderful.
I know that this is the true church of Chirst and that He lives and loves us. He guides us through His living prophet today.
I love you all so much and try and help mom and dad not be so trunky! hahaha I love you!!!
Don´t Stop Believing|!!!
com amor,
Elder N. Askins
