Well, this week was kind of lame because my companion is district leader and was gone Tuesday through Friday from 8 to 5 for a training for all the leaders while I went to another area with two other elders who are really cool, but our numbers were terrible. Missionary work is a little different here than in Utah. We have basically no investigators right now and I havent gotten the opportunity to teach that many people. Well, we did visit a lot of recent converts and less active members, but my companion always ends up doing most of the talking during those lessons. I dont know. I guess things are going okay. Im just not enjoying it as much as I had hoped. I just dont feel like the missionary I want to be nor the missionary the Lord needs me to be. I feel like everyone else has so much more faith and is so much more sensitive to the Spirit than I am. My companion always seems to know what to say, and I just feel like I have no idea how to help these people or what they're really thinking or what their problems are or anything. Im just always worrying about something or someone. Sometimes I drive myself crazy.
At least it sounds like everything is going well over there. I cant believe that Brittany still remembers me. Tell her that I said hi and that I miss her too and that I owe her a hug when I get back. Shes so awesome. I hope shes doing well in school and everything.
Marc, give muffin a snuggle for me, ok? and have fun at rock climbing camp. Keep practicing tennis so I have someone to play with when I get back. I played soccer with a bunch of missionaries today, almost the whole zone it seemed like. It was pretty fun. We werent allowed to play soccer in Salt Lake. And down here, Marc, soccer is the only sport anyone cares about. Everyone is always playing everywhere. Tell Sean and Austin that if they dont treat you nicely theyre going to have to answer to me in 2 years.
Its still been raining here almost every afternoon. So, Ive been getting a little wet, but I try remember my umbrella or my poncho before we leave in the morning even if its bright and sunny out. Other than the rain, though, the weather is perfect, not too hot and not too cold. Sorry, you guys in Florida. Its probably over 90 degrees right now over there.
How is Grandpa Graham doing? Is he recovering from his heart attack ok. Tell him that Im sorry I havent written him yet.
Let me think about my favorite scripture. Im not entirely sure right now.
Love you all,
Brett
