Hey Family,
Dad: I like the goals you have for the stake. They sound really excellent. I especially like the idea of sending the three missionary emails. Also it sounds like you´re working a lot on keeping the house nice. you AND mom. cool.
Mom!!! Tell me what`s going on in the primaries! I`m dying to know. I am seriously tempted to check out drudge report. Tell Sarah Cotton good luck on her mission! I´m excited for her. She´ll be a great missionary. Tell Gaudy hi too. And Lola and the Carrolls and the Spanish missionaries that I guess I don´t even know now... I´m glad you´re helping Gaudy out.
Dani: I`m glad everyone is still cute! Is there a family bet on if you´re having a girl critter or boy critter?
Well, we were going to find out changes today, but Elder Woodruff just told us that we`re not going to know until tomorrow at five. I`ve had a feeling like I´m going to get changed. My companion is dying (today was her last p-day) and I think they might whitewash the area. I don`t know..... I just want to know the truth. It`s been kind of a crazy month.
I think we´re seeing the last of the stressed Hermana Tew. I´ve just been really worried about what my companions think and what they´re going to do to me. I finally realized Saturday that I should just trust myself and not worry about what they think. Yesterday my companion was chewing me out for something retarded and I just didn´t even care. It felt good not to care. I mean all of that in the best way possible.
Well, Elder Nelson was awesome . I got to sing in the choir and also play the piano for the meeting. What a privilege! The choir sounded good. Elder Nelson shook my hand twice! I played prelude music while everyone else was shaking his hand. Another missionary came up and played for me so I could get in line to shake his hand. Then I went back to playing and he came over and shook my hand again. haha. I told him he had stayed at my house a few months ago. All the messages were really awesome. I loved what he said to us and also what his wife said. Elder Falabella and his wife were there too. They`re really neat people. Poderosos!
He talked about family history and patriarchal blessings. He asked us to stand up according to our tribe and had us stand up according to where we were from. Later he talked about helping people know where they are from and who their grandparents and great-grandparents are from. Then he said that really, all of us are from Egypt, pretty much. haha. true!
His wife told us that if we could watch 10 minutes from our premortal DVD we wouldn´t have any worries about ourselves or our capabilities. Wow! Something I really liked about what she said was that when we are obedient, we see who we really are. We see our true selves and we know who we are.
President Monestel talked about how when Joseph Smith was 14 the question he asked was with which church he should join himself. He didn´t just want to know the truth, he wanted to know what to DO. He related that to faith - that we should ask for faith and plan to do things with the faith that we have and will have. It made a lot more sense when he talked. He only took like 4 minutes. He´s a humble guy.
We´re teaching a cool family Manuel and Ena. They have both read from the Book of Mormon and he has some questions for us. We haven´t met with him again. But we have an appointment for this Wednesday. I hope everything goes well! I hope I am here to see them go to church...and be baptized!
We are teaching 6 families right now. Three are part-member. Four of them have Books of Mormon. I kind of want to start my mission over again this change. I learned a lot from my companion and I know that I´m going to miss her. Anyway, I know I´m going to the change meeting because my companion is dyinnnnnngggggg.
Alright. I love you all! I hope you are all doing well, being kind, and helping people feel God´s love!
okay.... Bye!
Love, Hna Tew
