Hello family.
The family reunion sounds fun. That’s good. That is a way cool story about Grandma and Grandpa. i’ve heard it before, but it is really cool. Super guay, as they would say here. And how they prayed at the same time separately.
Thats good Bruno was fine. i’ve forgotten that Rebecca got a dog. i guess everyone sees Bruno and thinks he is the best, so he just goes around doing his business making more and more people like dogs. The temperature is starting to bajar here as well. i hear it gets quite cold during the winter. Like the same as Utah, just no snow. i guess the winds change from getting the African winds to the winds that come down from Germany.
Not too many bugs here, so that is good. No scorpions, but you probably get the house sprayed. Bugs are not good. That’s cool you saw JJ at the store. is he buying lots of Banana Republic clothes since he gets a discount? i would. Everyone likes my side bags, so that is good. And that’s good he can leave on time now. i’m sure he wouldn’t want to wait six more weeks. it sounds like the scouts like him though. i guess we will only wait and see if dad ends up leaving. He would still work at sage creek also though right? Or just vivant.
Marathon is coming up soon. Seems strange a year ago i was running, then you told me the age changed and i don’t think i really showed any expression because i was so dead. i was more just like oh thats nice, i will just go lie down and die over here now. But already a year, time flies!
Hope everybody´s week was good. This week has been good. So this Saturday we did a sweet activity. We made a plane and watched the Mormon Message video of Elder Nelson and the plane where he thinks he was going to die, but he was calm. So we had a captain and he announced basic things, he said, “in case of emergency we suggest that you pray.” Then he went over the steps to pray. We also have papers around telling you how. Then the plane had some turbulence (we had sounds), we flickered the lights, then the plane crashed. So the pilot said, “We’re sorry, we’ve suffered an accident, we are going to go over three available exits.” So first we made a telestial kingdom, then a terrestrial, then a celestial. i think i sent pictures of all of them. With the light increasing in all of them. So we had a person there, and the guide asks, “What did you do to get here, how do you feel.” So i was the terrestial guy. So for the first two we basically stressed there is something better, so make changes now in your life. And for the celestial we had a family for the people. They were dressed in white. it was super cool. B. came to it. The hermanas talked with the family. it was super guay. (cool)
So we met with the filipino family again. The little son said he wants to be a missionary. Super cool. Well he actually said to his mom earlier in the day that he was excited that the elders are coming over today, and that he wants to be a missionary to someday. So that night we taught them the plan of salvation. it was a super strong lesson, stressing what we have to do in this life. And they all really liked the lesson. We were going to go over the gospel of Jesus Christ and try to set a date, but they were out of town, so they couldn’t come to church either. But we are going to meet with them Tuesday. So cool thing from them, so we don’t have a Tagalog Book of Mormon yet (well we actually got them today so they will have them), but they don’t have them yet, so they are reading in English and Spanish, and because they don’t understand it too well, they found a Book of Mormon movie so they understand it better. And they watched the restoration movie without us telling them anything about it. So that was cool. Also they feed us mini crabs. Just take off the legs and the top shell and eat is all. with the bottom shell. it was actually really good.
We also had a lesson with B. that was really good. We went over Alma 34 about ‘do not procrastinate the day of your repentance.’ We set a very tentative date for the 28th. He came to church, so that is good. F. came back, and we talked on the phone with her, but the next day she was leaving to the Dominican Republic until September 20. ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone leaves and its frustrating. But she will be back.
So we were knocking the whole building and we we randomly found a member. The daughter always comes to church, but the mom doesn’t, the grandma (who leaves in a different piso) comes. And they have lots of other non active members. So we are going to talk with the grandma to try and set up a big family home evening. So we have been in the streets a ton this week. Lots of street contacting. So we will hopefully have lots of first lessons this week.
Well just of few more random notes from this week. We haven’t had hot water this week, so freezing showers and i do the limbo while washing my hair. There are a ton of things around the city for the Olympics as they are deciding if Madrid gets them this Sunday i believe, and i have had the most soda of my life so far. Everyone gives you orange Fanta not water.
Well i guess i won’t miss anything from football this year. i will still miss watching it tough. it’s lots more exciting. Soccer started here. if Madrid ever played Munich that would be a cool game to go watch. Sounds like i missed more in golf this season that i will in football considering BYU’s season in basically over. And considering Phil won a major. Well BYU can still make a bowl game. They can beat up on all of the bad teams and then get one good one or something. There is hope. Sure hope Alabama won’t win it all again. i had a dream you and i were golfing, but i can really remember what happened. The vast majority of my dreams have been about golfing. Really like 75 percent have been.
So if you do start at Vivant you would still kind of work at Sage Creek? Or would Sage Creek be no more? Yes, i will admit my marathon training program was not the best. Almost nonexistent. But when i get back i will have a great one. i want to qualify for Boston. My companion and i are starting to run every morning. Bruno and Ava are good dogs. i think it makes sense they are becoming more and more addicted. As one plays, the other one would more as well. Some people are starting to return. So that’s good. That also good JJ got his FBI clearance. Well have a lovely week.
Well that is all. Have a dandy week. i’ll write you next week.
ps i am staying!!!! So i’m excited
Love Elder Jason Kinghorn
