The Second Epistle of Matthew to his brethren in the land of
Utah
Chapter 2
1. And the Elder did say unto his brethren, "Lovest
thou me?"
2. And they answered unto the Elder, and said, "Yeah
Elder, we do love thee." And he said unto them, "feed my Inbox."
3. Then he saith unto them again, "Lovest thou
me."
4. And they replied again unto him again, "Yeah Elder,
we do love thee." And he said unto them again, "feed my Inbox."
5. And then he saith unto them a third time, "Lovest
thou me?" And they replied, "Yea Elder, Thou knowest that we love
thee." And he saith unto them, "Fill my mailbox. That I may have
reason to rejoice when I shall enter therein to the computer shop.
6. And thus saith the Elder unto his brethren in the Land of
Utah, for they had given unto him no such thing. They had not headed unto the
words of their brother in the wilderness when he did cry unto them with one
voice, and in one accord, saying unto them, that they should read these things,
and ponder them in their hearts, that they might know of a surety of themselves
that the elder did want their letters.
7. And the elder did prophesy many things unto them,
concerning the desires of there hearts, but they would not heed unto him,
insomuch that the elder did receive no mail.
8. The Elder wept.
Chapter 3
1. And now I say unto you, how think ye? If a man have an
hundred people to write, and one of them hath written back, doth he not leave
the ninety and nine, and goeth unto the one, and respondeth unto that which
hath written him?
2. And if so be that he find that one hath written him,
verily, I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that person, than of the ninety
and nine which did not write.
3. Even so, it is not meet that man should be alone. So it
must needs be that he receiveth mail from his brethren.
Chapter 4
1. And Behold, there was a man which did want to write his
brother. And they asked him, saying, is it lawful to send letters on the
sabbath day? that they might accuse him.
2. And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you,
that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will
he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
3. How much then is an Elder better than a sheep? Wherefore
it is lawful to do well on the sabbath day.
4. And thus spoke the elder in parables unto his brethren.
And this, that his brethren would understand the meaning of the saying, write
thine brethren in the mission field, that thine days may be prolonged upon the
land. But his brethren understood it not, for he received no mail.
Haha, anyways, it was quite the awesome week. We started the
new group in Basud this week! And now as soon as we can find an apartment for
them we are going to have new elders moving in and we are splitting the area!!!
We had so many people come to church this week!!! It was awesome! So in the
morning we went to Daet for church, and then at 2 we went out to Basud to be
with them for there sacrament meeting and other meetings. 6 hours of church!
Whew! Ya, after that we walked to Joels house. He is doing just awesome...
still struggling as far as work goes, but he's doing a little better I think.
We finally got his wife to start listening to us! We are super excited for
them!
The Santillan family came again! There dad is a stud. He had
a couple problems with the WofW, but he dropped it just like that, and is gonna
be baptized with his kids! He has a kid in Manila that he is gonna have come down
for the baptism.
And because we were starting this new group down in Basud we
had a TON of less actives come! Most of them just had a problem coming to
church because it was too far. Now because it is so close to them, they are all
coming! Super exciting there!
So the nice thing about this area, is the hardest thing...
we just don't have enough time to teach everyone! We weren't looking for new
investigators this week and ended up with 6. It is slightly a problem, because
we only hit each city twice in a week, and we have so many people that two days
isn't enough to get everyone! Its nice, but its rough sometimes.
Sad news, Tom is now leaving back home sooner than we
thought, so now he will be being baptized when he gets home. He'll be solid,
but he leaves in a weekish.
Bah! My memory is aweful! I cant remember exactly what
happened this week and my handwriting takes too long to read. So.. Pictures na!
This first picture is me and the two Elders leaving on
missions in the next month. The one in the middle is going to Utah! So family,
look for him! Elder De Leon! He's a man stud! The other one is going to the
Philippines... Hes really awesome too. Both of them work with us a lot, so I am
gonna be sad to see them leave.
This one is for Stephanie. Randomly they had an awesome
Pineapple hanging on there door. This investigator is unfortunately never home,
but there pineapple is now very familiar to me! Hmm, also another thing that I
am noticing, they have a dang nice door!!
As you can tell, I like the night photos... I'm not sure
this one is as cool as it was for us, but, yeah.... it was a beautiful
night!
Alright, I love you Family! I hope you all have marvolous
weeks! (Especially with that brother of mine heading back home!). Peace Out
Folks! "Tha that tha thats all for now folks!" -At the end of every
