howdy yall! haha,
ha hey!! how is life ! thats so crazy tori is home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my ! thats awesome she got to go to the temple before she got released! i would love to do that as well if i could! and instead of mi amigos i want some of mamas home cooking !! and i can show ya a lil bit of the stuff i have been learning out here ha it gonna be sweet!.
so alot has happend this week and i totally forgot my planer so i going to have to go off memory.. oh dear haha. so wed. we had a zone meeting and i got to meet my new zone for the first time in a place called branson missouri its like a g rated las vegas haha its awesome. but at the meet it was soooo fun like we got new zone leaders and they are so cool and fun like they made the meeting fun and spiritual it was perfect! and i got to meet some way great missionarys. we actually have two elders and one sister from arizona!! ahah the sister is from page and the zone leader elder is from tucsan or how ever its spelt ha and the other is a district leader named elder gunell from gildert !!! hes awesome i talked with him a bunch we are going to go hang out when we all get back ! any way that was super fun i enjoyed that alot and i even learned alot.
i dont know why but it has taken so long for me to realize this but we always say that we represent Jesus Christ and i finally realized that its a litteral term like we are acting on his behalf ! so it is soooo important of what we do think say everything. oh how great the calling ha although it is important to have fun i must always remember who i am acting on behalf of. its so amazing to be able to say that i am worthy to represent our Lord and Savior.. i cant defiantly see why it was hard for tori to end her calling. but! if you remember the sacroment prayer said every sunday, " to eat in rememberance", and to "witness unto thee" to testify of him, and " that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy son". so as we take thy sacrament we are all to act on and represent our Savior.. so even tho name tags are pretty cool ha we are ALL called to the work and oh how great the calling :) ha i love this work and as i see the amazing changes in families that it brings and the joy and happiness that comes with. i could talk on and on haha there is so much to talk about ! but got to go:( sorry but ill talk to you all next week.
i love you tori!! thanks for being such an amazing example of a choice servant !! i hope to become at least half the missionary you were!!! and as there is still work to be done any where you go keep it up:) love ya family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love elder houston
