2nd Week Email Dated November 15

Bryson had mentioned he thought they would be going to the temple, so I asked him about it in my email to him.  Two weeks have flown by, and I'm really missing him like crazy.  It has sunk in a little bit how long 2 years really is, and that he's REALLY gone...  But I'm so glad to hear how well he is doing, and that he is so excited to be entering the field!



The temple was great! i'm glad life is good at home! you'll get a couple letters from me soon and i'll email you when i get into the field. I only have a short time here to email and tell you that i am leaving in the morning for the field! i'll be anywhere in new zealand before lunch tomorrow! crazy stuff. I love you so much. I know that these are the last days and thats why it is so important for me to share this message and share the gospel. I love you. Email you soon!

Email dated November 8

My schedule is crazy. We literally sit in classrooms for 9 hours a day. 9 HOURS. But i'm so grateful we are focusing on the gospel of Jesus Christ and other people. We dedicate all of our energy and time to Heavenly Father and his will.

 

My favorite thing so far is the NZ chocolate and probably the MTC president. He is from England and is one of the most compassionate and strong men I have ever met. He loves this gospel and loves the missioinaries here. It's hard being white.. haha, my entire district are polys and islanders. I swear the tongan language is 100% made of jokes because as soon as anyone says anything in tongan, they bust up.

 

Least favorite is how tired I get. But I know that it is good because i'm putting my energy in great things.

 

Rugby is scary and I don't like it. I kill everyone in basketball and in football though, so I have been accepted by the brown people.

 

I'm very happy. Studying is hard and teaching our "investigators" (teachers in role play). I find it hard so far putting things together out of the scriptures and from my heart.

 

Love you more.
