My companion, whom I have been with for only three weeks,
leaves in 10 days. I've never had the opportunity to be companions with someone
who's prepping to go home, but it's definitely interesting.
I don't have any new pictures today, but I did some tracking today
myself (not gorillas). We had to get some cows away without getting within
their reach. So we cut up some apples and started a little trail. Most
irritating thing was that monkeys came out of nowhere and started taking the
apples. The cow didn't seem very happy about it either.
Something that came to me this week was during Sunday's
sacrament. I was doing just fine. Nothing to crazy happened to cause this
reaction. We sang Hymn 220, Lord I would Follow Thee. The words of verse
three for example: I would be my brothers keeper. I would learn the Healer's
art. To the wounded and the weary, I would show a gentle heart. I would be my
brother's keeper. Lord I would follow Thee.
It seems so impossible to Love God with all of our heart
might mind and strength at times, but can we try a little harder to be our
brothers keeper. To heal broken hearts.
Not much time this week. Maybe I will finish my comments
next week.
Keep the Faith!A few additional notes from Mom: I brought up a few questions to Ian about church, a message from Rosalind about Ian singing, and the language.
"I was sitting nearby. I had forgotten that you mentioned
that their family is all really talented vocally. Quite a surprise to hear some
vibrato that wasn't my own. President Lam said that the endorsement is done and
that I don't need an interview now because he interviews us at least every six
months. I am actually starting to pick up a lot of Indonesian and Tagalog, but
I'm not going to be putting any language study in for it (like I have that kind
of time anymore...) This is all that President Lam told me to do.
I hope that Adam is doing better now. I'm not fully up the
list of emails right now, but hopefully good news is to come." Adam's surgery went great and he is quickly mending.
He sent more pictures from the temple this week:
This is me with Elder McGrath and his other past companions.
Such a powerful missionary!
Me, Elder Love, and Elder Guinn (I lived with him back in
the day).
