Hey friends and
family!!! Young Elder Green coming atcha live
Picture from week before last at Mission Conference with some familiar faces, Landon Munson and Morgan Degooyer |
Man what a week
what a week!!!
First things
first we baptized La'Asia on Saturday, it went great! Elder Nau performed the
baptism and I got to speak on baptism it was really cool and fun!!! We had 6 of
our investigators come to the baptism too and they all want to be baptized and
they came to church the next day and me and Elder Nau are really excited for
all of that!!! The work is improving a lot as of lately.
Waiting for the font to fill is the best feeling! |

Last night we went
to the hospital to see a lady who will be baptized here in March. Her name is
Carmel. We went with one of our friends Alec who is like 17 or 18, and so we
went up there and we had planned on teaching her about the restoration and the
Book of Mormon etc. We got into her hospital room and we told her what we were
going to teach her about. Then she said, "Honeys ya’ll can teach me but I
will not remember any of it tomorrow because I cannot even see straight!"
hahaha so we did not teach her but instead just got her some food and sat down
and laughed and she was telling us how much she loved us. I don’t know why but
that moment just meant a lot to me and touched my heart a lot just to know that
we don’t always have to be trying to teach the gospel and slam it down people’s
throats. The best way into somebody's heart is with love and I just really
enjoyed that.
I have to tell
everybody that I really love you all! Missions are not always the easiest thing
to be doing and I love my support and I am so grateful for everybody.
Especially my mama! Everybody knows how awesome my mom is of course. But we
were having a little question and answer with the youth this week that are
preparing for missions and they asked us if we missed home or like what do we
miss. I said, "Ya know you are gonna miss a lot of things but I would
suggest just really loving and appreciating your parents, especially your mom."
You never realize how nice you have it until you are having to take care of
yourself and learn to do things on your own. I would suggest every one of you
to take the extra second to tell the people you have in your life that you love
them. I know I love my family a whole bunch and miss them and I know Heavenly Father
placed us with people on this earth for a specific reason. This earth would not
be much fun if we didn’t have people we loved to share it with. I love my mom!
Thank you for everything mom.
Have a great
week
Elder Green :P
