Oh and I almost forgot Tuesday night Russel M. Nelson came to talk to us at the devotional and it was so amazing! I was in the choir with the entire district and it was the most amazing experience ever. Our Sunday devotional I learned "to mind the gap" which means the time from one lesson to the next. We need to give them (investigators) challenges that will keep them in action so the spirit can act and teach them what they need to learn. Well gots to go pack wish me luck!! Love you dad and mom!!! Oh and I saw Austin the day I got here by the way!!!
Oh and the food sucks, I have gained ten pounds and I am going to gag if the next thing I eat is plastic tasting.
Hey it has been an interesting week!!! Sunday we went on a walk to the temple as a district and took lots of pictures unfortunately for me I don't have one:)!! Monday
came and we got an investigator to teach and we have realized that we
need to learn to love our investigators and teach by the spirit!! This
week I learned that the Holy Ghost is not just a comforter and a teacher
but a purifier. I also learned to have the Holy Ghost with us is like a
thumbs up from God saying we are worthy to be in his presence! We were
talking to our investigator about the Apostasy and he asked what
happened to those that weren't able to receive the gospel of Christ? Well I was at a loss for words and then the craziest thing happened... I
got this feeling and thought that wasn't mine come into my had
"family search"... so without thinking I said "family history. That's
how we give them the gospel, we look for ancestors that need the saving
ordinances and we go do baptisms for the dead and we give them the
opportunity to save them!!
We can always do it for whoever we find! They are not lost. Wednesday I went to the insta care to see what was going on with my ear and it
was the weirdest thing to be outside of the MTC, it didn't feel right. The doc said with the pain that was happening, it's fluid build up
behind my eardrum. She gave me prescriptions for ear drops and pills for
it! If your talking about the package with my coat then yes I got it
and I got a letter from Grandma Hennen as well! Oh and I am sending my
ipod home and I need you to put some uplifting spiritual music on it. If
it's instrumental that's great but I also want Alex Boye, Mormon Tabernacle, and Come Thou Fount by the tabernacle choir! I'm sending
that today so I don't know if it will get to you tomorrow or Monday
but when you do get put that on there and also please check my bank
account I have been buying things for my mission like a pocket protector,
books, and other stuff like that, that I need. Love you guys and can't
wait to get the kids emails!!! Next week
Love your son,
Elder Hennen
