thanks for all the byu help! i`ve kinda forgot a few things after 2 years haha, so thanks. your formal education info and income is in the essay section at the bottom. i honestly haven`t really prayed about going to byu though. i guess that would be something pretty necessary. i`ve still got some time though so i`ll be thinking about that now. my ecclesiastical endorsement was kinda funny though. during last interviews i told hermana ward i needed that and she was like oh ok we`ll just do that right now. so she just pulled it up, checked everything and wrote it all up without asking me one question haha. she wrote how i was just a good missionary and had even gone to and survived blas haha, so hopefully the little blas thing helps :) i have thought about the U, just cause i have always kinda leaned to medical things, but i`m still so undecided. it`s a tough decision. but i`ll think about it a little more now. bummer news about the NBA. i hate both those teams, but i think i hate the heat more. oh well though, pretty soon the jazz are just gonna tear it up! :)
well so i`ll let you in on betty a little bit. she is really just so awesome and so prepared. so like i said she`s only here during the week, but leaves on saturday to her real house. so she`s not here to go to church. she told us she would though, so it was fine but we didn`t know if she really went. but we went by on wednesday and talked to her, and she actually did go to church, all by herself, and loved it! she said everyone was so nice to her and helped her a ton and the sister missionaries helped her a ton and gave her a book of mormon and it was just perfect. when we went by she had a ton of questions and was already reading the book of mormon and everything. it`s amazing. there`s this talk trev sent me at the beginning of my mission that i still have, and it talks a little bit about how if someone knows that you`re a servant of God, they`re gonna trust and believe in everything you say, cause they know it comes from God, and that`s how i feel with betty. she just accepts everything we tell her, so instead of like teaching, we just share, she listens, asks a few questions, but instead of trying to like convince, we`re just holding a few little meetings until her baptism. while we were talking she was just like "don`t worry guys, i`m gonna get baptized." she`s so awesome! so i`m super pumped.
with ernan though, i thought he was super positive, but we went by the other day and he just wasn`t quite as positive. it`s like something happened between our visits. we did go by once but he said he was busy and we would have to come back another day, and so when we did he just didn`t seem as positive. so we`ll see if anything comes out if it.
the bad news is though, i have changes again! another one changer! i don`t even know what to think. but i`m super worried now about betty and other investigators. like i know we can leave notes and stuff, but i thought i was staying so we`re not as prepared as we should be. i don`t know what to do. i was planning on going to the baptism of betty but now if they send me super far i won`t be able to go. now i won`t be able to finish teaching her, and i may not be able to go to the baptism. that`s what gets me the worst. i don`t know. who knows what`s going on and what`s gonna happen, but changes are on wednesday so i guess we`ll see.
this week was fairly quiet though. we did get to see this conference yesterday, like the world wide leadership training thing i think, and it was cool. it kinda macheted the leaders around here though haha. but it was good cause hopefully it instills some fire into them, cause it talked about how God is hastening the work of salvation, so we need to work better. just how like the members need to work more with the missionaries, and the ward mission leader needs to work so that missionaries never need to contact, and it`s so true, if that would happen, there would be so many baptisms that no one would even know what to do. so hopefully this gets put into practice.
other than that i think that`s about it. not too much is going on. just changes are the big news. me and my comp are both leaving, so who knows. i`m assuming this should be my last area since i only have 3 changes left, crazy huh? but yeah i guess the next time we talk i`ll be in a new and hopefully my last area! have a great week!
much love,
