Dear family,
It’s great to be here in email form in front of all of you haha! Well
Hannah your time is running out... I bet you never thought this would happen.
As I don’t think it will ever happen for me. I am enjoying every moment and it
is a little scary that each Monday comes way too fast.
Yes father I do remember that 50 mile bike ride very vividly
actually in fact it turned into 66 miles if I remember correctly. I remember
almost hating it all the way there and all the way back. However I don’t think I
complained while doing it. But it was fun despite not being able to feel your
butt the next day. I had never been on most of those roads and I had never been
to Gasworks Park before that either. And mother I do know what movie that is
from it’s from Saturdays warriors. Please I know all the quotes. I often think
of a random one and blurt it out and my companion has no idea what I am talking
about. It is very funny for me because he is very confused and I just calmly
move on.
We had many miracles this last week. Looking back we had a very
productive week. Every lesson we had we were able to get someone from the ward
to come with us. I know that is the best way because then when they came to
church we didn’t have to do anything but remind people they were there and we
let our investigators enjoy the church services. In particular we have two very
strong investigators and they are in the same ward and about the same age.
RaeAn butler is 17 and a senior in high school and Reuben Martinez is 18 and is
working full time. Both really loved it at church and each are very special.
Reuben has expressed some very deep ideas and has trusted me with
some of his feelings regarding his conversion. I don’t ever want to limit the
spirit and I’m still learning how it works but he tells me that sometimes he
sees a thin outline of something around people when they are speaking in church
or when we are teaching to him. God works in mysterious ways. Reuben must have
some important work to do.
Also RaeAn is also very sensitive to the spirit. The lessons with
her are some of the most powerful lesson I’ve ever been in. She is very
receptive and is very willing to accept what we teach. Not because of what we
teach but because she knows what the spirit feels like and she recognizes that
this is the truth. A few time I was prompted to share some deeper understand
than what I would normally teach.
We are still doing our best to work hard. The baptisms this month
have kind of fallen through. It was a little discouraging but they will be
baptized just not as soon as I would like. Next month looks like 4 baptism for March
right now. We are really blessed. I am stressing about doing the right thing
but I can’t stress about to much that not in my power.
Mom I don’t think I’m that great of a trainer... Elder Bennet and I
do well together but I haven't found a way to correct him without him getting
offended. He was a zone leader in the MTC and I think he has a lot more pride
than most greenies because he feels like he is a really great teacher. Compared
to me he is alright. But I’m still a novice I feel like when it comes to our
zone leaders and some other older missionaries. But it’s a great opportunity
for me to practice being humble.
The temperature has been better lately. I didn’t wear a coat for
the last few days because the sun was out and it felt soo good. We still have
like a foot of snow in some places around here. I am sooo done with the snow.
It definitely needs to snow though.
I cut my own hair today by myself, the whole thing. I think it
actually looks pretty good. I didn’t use a mirror for the back but my district
says it looks fine. So whatever.
Hope everyone is doing fine.
Love Elder Salmon
