Hey Mom!
Sounds like all of the camps are going great. I
remember that our high adventure camp was one of the best camping trips I ever
went on. It was super fun, we went camping way up there in the mountains, and
we had devotionals and such. I remember when Nathaniel was in charge of the
devotional, he was very prepared and spoke very well, that was something very
cool.
right now I´m pretty tired, This area is a
pretty tough area. Like I told you there are a lot of crazy people, but there
are a lot that aren´t prepared to recieve the gospel yet. It´s kind of a bummer
to leave from church on sunday and see just about everyone! drunk and walking
around the streets, yelling and laughing loudly.
I feels different because I don´t really feel
like I have a companion that I can talk to and recieve motivation and support.
With Elders SJ/H/T we always worked together and felt together. we could get
advice and support from eachother, and disstress eachother. Here, with Elder R,
he´s a new missionary who doesn´t know much. But apart from being a new
missionary, he´s very different. He doesn´t talk a lot, well we doesn´t talk
unless I do (good thing I talk a lot) I´m teaching him many things, and he´s
learning, but I need to keep having patience. You know that sometimes I had
mental breakdowns at home, nothing really unhealthy just overstress. I think
that it has happened to me a couple of times when I was the junior companion,
and I was able to empty out my jar or stress and learn from my companions. But
I can´t do that now. I need to be a good example to Elder R. I have made sure
that no matter what I feel, I´m always prepared, always smiling, always
diligent, always obedient, always enthusiastic. I am looking for a new was to
empty my stress, thorugh the scriptures, through hymns. I want to find a way to
empty it all at once. Over all of this mom, I think that there are a lot of
things that my heavenly father is teaching me, and for that I feel greatful.
I don´t think I´m as stressed as I conveyed
there mom, really I´m very happy to be here, I´m very excited to talk to many
people everyday and teach them about the great blessings that come from the
restored gospel. I´m still writing in my journal everyday, and I´m going to
write you and dad a good letter to tell you about thoughts that I have that
would be better described on a piece of paper.
I love you very much mom, If you went to the
girls camp, you´ll get to read this letter and then a letter soon that says
"YEA AWESOME WEEK EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!"
I love you,
Davis
