I appreciate you guys keeping all my affairs and stuff in order and sending me things. Its such a great feeling to know that I have a loving family at home who looks out for me in regaurds to everything worldly. Me and Elder White are still getting along great.. I just make sure that I look out for him and try to be as nice to him as possible because he is a bit more shy than I am. The time is just flying by in here.. It's weird because it feels like I've only been here for like 3 days.. but it also feels like its been so long since I've been home. Keeping busy is the key here.. I notice on days like today reading emails from you guys that I tend to get a little emotional.. especially the part about emery for some reason.. But I really am having such a great time. I learn so much and have such wonderful experiences every day, it doesn't feel like school.. Its so much more rewarding. My friend Randy Taylor is in class in the same building I am and I see him almost every day so it is so nice to see a familiar face every day. I hope you guys are holding up well.. Two years really isn't a long time.. I'll be home soon and will be so much better off for it.
THank you for the Cinnamon Rolls, I ate one and shared the rest with the other Elders in my zone.. From the time they were opened to the time they were entirely consumed took all of 15 minutes at most. You guys don't have to send things tho.. We are more than adequately fed here.. I'm glad you got to talk to Cory dad and have a nice talk with him. Tell him thanks for the help with the ipod and helping with the car. I forgot to mention the wheel well I put it isn't adequately attatched at the bottom front.. look under the car and youll see where I'm talking about. Just put a couple zip ties in there attatching it to the other plastic bumper piece and you will be fine.
We had Bruce C. Hafen of the 70 come speak to us on Monday and he gave a great talk. A couple things I thought worth were worth mentioning to you guys. One of which is "Sitting in Church will do as much to turn you into a saint as Sitting in a garage will turn you into a car" It takes a lot of work to get where you need to be spiritually and most of that is done on your own time. I have really come to realize this in the mtc and how much I've grown and progressed in one week studying dilegently. He also told of us something pretty interesting in chapter 36 of alma. Basically the entire chapter, the way its layed out, represents perfectly a type of ancient hebrew poetry called a cayasma. Basically it is telling the story in proper order then reiterating it backwards with the middle part of it being the most important. You guys should startdoing family home i evening though. It will help you guys draw nearer to eachother and get to know each other better. My email is totally freaking out for some reason and we are limited to 30 minutes so I'm sorry its so short. I need a couple things.. my black nixon watch.. and there were a few other things but I forgot my notes and only have 2 minutes left! I love you guys and hope your doing great. My spanish is way better..I can pray in spanish.. bear my testimony.. i have remembered the first vision in spanish and english. Its just great here.. Just write me through dear elder if you need to get a hold of me during the week. Love you soo much. Bye
Elder Adams
