hey family hows it going !!.
so first off i will tell you ....yes im fine we are alive!!!! the tornado's went to all the surrounding areas ha but ya branson go hit pretty bad. had no deaths tho just lots of destruction. thats a zone leader area and they are all fine. no one was hurt and the worst that happen to them is there power went out.
so ya now that you can rest at ease mom :) ha and its ok to worry shows you care haha. i would be worried if you didnt worry haha. any who thats so awesome about anthony!!!! he getting his papers in!! so crazy!! ill defiantly try and write him this week. i will write you all as well since i didnt this last week. haha tell hunter to stick it out and get the best grades he can get i reeaaaaaaallly wish i would have taken school more serious its going to be really hard to get back in the grove now and coming out here i realize the importants of having a good education !! as i spell importants wrong haha. oh!! and i went to A doctor for my meds and to get refills and all that good stuff he is a member that knows quite a bit about diabetes. he is an old person doctor haha but ya he checking my a1c and my kidneys and i should know how it all is here in the next little while. also he wants me to get my eyes checked too and wants to check my blood too, like blood work and cholesterol or how ever it is spelt. ha so hes good guy he looking after your boy. and i will let you know what the results are all when they come in. deal.
not much going on this week other then that stuff and the tornado. and our investigator that we have been teaching forever that fell off the face of the earth is back!!! and running full force. its courtnie if you remember me talking about her. she wants to be baptized and she wants me to do it!! yaaaaaa hooooooo. she is sooo determined! so i have great hope for her this time around. she has alot of work to do but she has shown that she is ready. im soo happy she is back and growing so much in her testimony. she has had alot going on lately and it has made her feel lost in her own words... "like a chicken with her head cut off" haha. it goes to show that the promise the Lord gives us and what it says in Jeremiah chapter 29," for i know the thoughts that i think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not evil, ... then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall and pray unto me, and i will hearken unto you and ye shall seek me, and find, me when ye shall search for me with all your heart. and i will be found of you, saith the Lord..." I will be found of you . the Lord wants us to find Him. He is like a parent that plays hide and seek with their children. He is going to leave his foot visible or leave the door open, some kind of clue as to where he is. some trail of bread crumbs ha. and where you have once found him look there again, He is probably hiding there again, because HE wants to be found!. a quote from an ensign said," what a blessing to know that in a world where temptation is [all around us], it is comforting to know that our greatest source of strength is so easily found." i bare solem witness that this is true that as we seek out for the Lord and do our part He WILL be found of you. and im so greatful and blessed to be able to know this true and want to make sure all that i can know it as well.
well i have to get going but i will write ya all this week hopefully today ha and hope to hear from you all too.. yes you hunter and dad and anthony! love you all so much have a great week !!!
-love elder houston
