It's been
an awesome week up here. Awesome in that it fills you with Awe, not all of
that necessarily good.
Nothing bad,
mind you, just annoying at points.
First, the
Weather. It's been warm. I'm not talking Alaska warm, where 10 above is Shorts
weather, I'm talking 45! The Cursed Chinook Winds have come again!
How bad
was/is it? We cancelled church yesterday because it had rained all Saturday,
and the roads were freezing. It didn't help that the rain continued all Sunday
as well. We're going to die if this ever gets around to freezing again.
But anyway,
Life's been great up here. I am in constant awe of my companions spirituality.
He is amazing. This week we went all out learning Hmong and seeing people and
we were blessed with so much Success! It's amazing to only think about the
people we're trying to help, trying to see.
Our Hmong
has been blessed so much as well! People who don't believe in the gift of
tongues and the interpretation of the same haven't seen my me and my comp (bad
grammar, but I have an excuse: I'm speaking Hmong!) learning Hmong. In one
week, My companion can already read, write and has a lot of phrases down.
Blessings abound. We were told by our teachers that we sounded like Natives,
which is the most awesome cool thing ever. (Insert picture here, blog mom).
Anyway, we
were grounded yesterday, so nothing was really accomplished there. These Chinooks
are crazy.
Speaking of
Crazy, Everyone go to the Mormon Message "your day for a mission" and
listen hard for a very familiar cry. You'll freak when you hear it; I did.
Socks: Mine
are starting to all far apart all at the same time. Goldtoes, Dark grey, not
black, I'll send you a picture next week. (mom, remember that sort of
"unconventional" way we got all gray socks at the store by replacing
the other colors? You think you could grab aidan and make it happen again? I
probably only need a few pair, but I do need some)
Also: I had
a cool thought while reading the Scriptures a bit ago:
Picture the
most amazing, happy, fun, cool, awesome place on Earth. (Disneyland with all my
family)
Now are you
ready for a cool thought?
1
Corinthians 2:9 : But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him.
Isn't that a
great thought? The greatest place we can imagine can't even come close to how
great it's going to be in Heaven. Think about that for a bit.
Out of time.
Love from
the Not-so-frozen-North,
