Well, we finally got a letter from our Elder!! I was really needing to hear from him! But I’m all better now. He has been gone for a week and a half. His letter wasn’t very long, but he gave us the basic’s.
He say’s:
“The spirit is so strong! The first day was way long, but I’m learning to like it. We have an elder in our resident hall that is 7 feet tall!!! Crazy huh? I’m learning how to preach God’s word and it is amazing. My third day out, one of the teachers picked me and had me do a forty-five minute lesson with an elder. I didn’t know it was intense, but we did great!! My companion is Elder Fisher. He is a bawler (Flexy says this alot, I think this means he’s a really great guy), he always has the spirit and teaches well. My scriptures look like a rainbow, they’re getting marked up so well. Our sisters are angels. They are definately our superiors. Anyway, better get studying! Love, Elder (Flexy)”
What a great letter! I can tell he’s loving it and being busy is awesome. What a blessing to have our son serving.
As I said before, AWESOME! Good job Elder Flexy. We are all proud of you and have you in our prayers along with Private Riley.
Keith and Teresa and family…..
That is so amazing Joy! I knew Alex would be a good missionary, and you can tell already that he is just so excited to share the truth!
Joy, that is wonderful that his companion is a bawler. Where ever that came from and what ever that means. jk. He is going to be great!
A short spiritual letter Joy… What more could you ask for:)
Alex sounds excited and eager to spread the Lord's word.
You are all in our prayers.
Love u all,
Vickie
