Howzit-Elder Flexy!

 Elder Flexy 5:4 -email-
 
Mama

this week has been good we are still working hard. and our families are comng along very slowly. so i probably won't be the one to baptise them but they will be baptized.ya i miss going to the temple. on saturday i won first place in chair soccer it was way fun!!
1 Do you have a favorite scripture that you use a lot while teaching?
1.well i use my mission scripture a lot for spiritual thoughts at member missionary lessons.
2 What is your favorite story about Jesus?
2.i would have to say the story of the lady who was healed by touching his clothes that one is awesome!!
3 What is your favorite Book of Mormon story?
3.Samuel the lamenite for sure!!!
4 Do you find yourself ever saying "slow and steady, wins the race?" or was that just for me?
4.ya sometimes but we try not to be in too big a hurry.
5 Are you the shortest elder?
5.yep its the same story as always
6.we see president when we go to the office and at interviews but not much else.
7.we are quite close to other elders so we see them a lot.
8 Do you think it feels so hot to you, because the humidity is so high? I looked up the temp and it was like 82 degrees, which wouldn't be that hot in a dryer climate.
8.ya it is the humidity that is killing me i sweat so much but nothing happens its still hot!!
9 Are you still teaching the same people?
9.yep
10.yes we have two families that are progressing faster but they are still not ready.
11 Have you had any faith promoting experiences? Or experiences were you have been saved by the spirit? (Remember Chad Cederlof in the alley?)
11.we have had faith building lessons but we haven't been protected to our knowledge.(could have but we didn't see it.)
12 Have you received any more of my letters?
12.ya i received two more and i would write back but we don't have much time to do it.
Special question of the week:
13 What do you do when you are discouraged to help you snap out of it? or have you been discouraged? How would you encourage someone who feels like they are not loved or valued?
13.ya i've been discoaraged but you just get over it and go to work. i just push thoughts and feelings like that out of my mind.
anyway things are going great i hope all is well in zion. love you mama

  1. Joy,
    What a fun thing it is to read how well Alex is doing. It's good to know that he is staying busy and keeping his faith and spirit up. It sounds like Brett may need to keep practicing his soccer skills.:) We will continue to pray for him and pretty soon, Colter will need to be added to the list. :)
