Dearest Family
I am glad to hear that things are going well! I miss the rain that you are having, and the lamest part is that all the storms that you are having are hitting the mountains but aren’t going past so we haven’t gotten any weather. We should be getting some snow this Wednesday and Thursday, which should be exciting. Well we moved to 1659 Walker Street, Erie Co. We moved more up north in our area which stinks because it takes so long to get anywhere now, but what can you do… I got the package and it was really nice! I really enjoyed it! The food was still delicious and tasted fresh! So thanks! So MyLDSMail.net is making a new webpage and I need to sign up again, but it doesn’t like the Membership number that I give it, so I was wondering if you could get that for me! Thanks! Also I noticed that my dark grey washable slacks and getting kind of worn out and if you need another idea for a birthday present, that would be great, but if not it’s all good.
So this Tuesday, we moved which took a while. We packed in the morning and then after lunch we went a taught Charlotte, which was ok. She was getting nervous about her baptism date so she decided to push it back, she hasn’t set another date, which stinks but she came to church yesterday which was nice. We then came back a proceeded to pack and then around 4:00 we dropped off our luggage at the Stogsdill’s, an older couple that we live with now. We were in a hurry because we had some other appointments before dinner, so all we could do was drop of the luggage in the garage. As we were about to leave, the garage door came to a screeching halt as it was closing… Of course we tried to help and we figured out that a cable had tangled itself and come out the wheel it winds around. We tried to fix it but only made it worse. We told Bro Stogsdill, and he came out and tried to help us fix it. So Bro Stogstill and Elder West were lifting up the garage door so that Bro Boseman, our ward mission leader, tried to untangle the wire. I noticed that the garage door was being restricted from being lifted higher because it was still attached to the chain. I noticed this and thought I would help by detaching it….. Well I did and the garage door shot up so fast that one side came off the track and lost a wheel. Situations like that always seem to happen to me…. Well after that we closed it so that someone who knew what they were doing could fix it and then we went to our appointment pretty late. We were supposed to take one of the youth out with us. We only ended up being able to go out for 10 min with him but we still had a good time.
Also this week we taught an investigator Jeremy and he told us that when we read 3 Nephi 11 with him that it really made him think about baptism. We were really excited about that! He is planning on getting married to the member that he is living with, so that is good but that means that he couldn’t be baptized till after that. He is leaving to go to truck driving school so he will be gone in northeastern Colorado from Monday till Saturday night for the next 3 weeks, but we have an appointment with him for next Sunday which will be good. We are really excited for him and things are starting to work out for him. It is wonderful to see the joy that comes into people’s lives from the Gospel. I have defiantly seen a change in my life, I was reflecting back on my mission this morning and yesterday, and I have noticed how I have grown so much. I have grown in how I deal with situations, to whom I turn to when I need help and the truths that I have found. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I love the Scriptures and the spirit I feel when I read from them. I love my Savior Jesus Christ, and all that He has done for me! I thank Heavenly Father for these blessings He gives me daily. I love you family and I hope that you have a good week. I hope that everything goes well for you this week! I love you so much!
Love
Elder Lassen
Miracle of the Week: When we read 3 Nephi 11 with Jeremy the spirit touched him and he has considering baptism! We weren’t even trying to do that when we read the chapter we just wanted him to start reading more! I love the spirit!
