Man, I really enjoyed reading your emails this week. For whatever reason, I almost cried reading that story about Kaden. I don't know why. I have thought a lot about Kent Williams since I came out on my mission. He was a huge influence for me at a critical time of my life. It truly is amazing to think about the difference one person can make in the world. I am sad to hear that Dangerous Dog had to close their doors. I HATE to see that happen. I am really grateful that Scruds is doing well though. Scruds is such a cool place, and I'm not gonna lie, I miss it a lot! Ahh.. What I would give for a mini me right now... but hey, Spam is really underrated! I am starting to actually like that mysteriously nasty canned Pork. I have been eating a Spam and egg sandwich pretty much every morning since I got out here. I know, scary huh? Its funny, this last week I have thought a lot about food and I mean all kinds of food! Everything from oreos to a Scrud Burger.
Anyways.. I don't want to waste too much time talking about unimportant things! Especially when I have so much that I want to say this week. This week has been a great week. I am already in my third transfer! I cant believe how fast time has been flying by. I am still serving in Uh with Elder Madill. The work is going so well in our area! We are teaching a lot of people. At the moment we are preparing six people for baptism! Meriana (Jasty's wife) is getting baptized this weekend! I am really excited for that. We are also teaching a Guy named Jefferson. He is Jastys nephew. He is such a funny kid, and he is really excited to be baptized! His baptism should be next weekend if all goes well. The language is coming along pretty well. I really feel like I am starting to progress. In the lessons I understand most of what is being taught, and I am starting to be able to put together sentences and teach a little bit myself. I still have a really long way to go, but I feel like I finally know enough to really start progressing.
I know this is random, but this week I have been thinking about Russ Osborne. I wish so badly that I could have had more time to work with him, and I wish that I would have done more to help him learn the Gospel. I just got so busy before I came out. I love Russ, and I wonder how he is doing. I was thinking about having Matt find out where he lives and send the missionaries to his house. Russ is an amazing person, and he really needs the Gospel! You should talk to Matt about that for me:) I have to go now, I am out of time! I love you all so much! Stay strong, and Stay busy!
Live Like you mean it!
Love your Son, Brother, and Friend.
Elder Dallin A Lyman
