[This was a quick email the day following our Mother's Day skype. Having just spoken, he didn't have much to say.]
[In response to my questions re: difficulties of a close friend that he neglected to mention to us.] It wasn't too crazy at the time because the Lord really does help with stuff like that a lot. I just put my head down and worked and I felt a lot better. I will let you know definitely next time though :) Promise.
That's good that the cake auction went well this last week. Something I've really noticed while being out here (away from Utah wards) is how crazy converted these people are to the gospel. Its amazing. In Utah I feel like it was a part of the culture, and that people would go to church just because that's how everyone grows up...which is true (considering that was pretty much me for a long while). The people here sacrifice work and school and everything on Sunday to come to church and spend so much time working to build the kingdom, it's crazy. They are all so "tight with Jesus" you could say, and its been so cool to see what its like outside of Utah for a change.
Yeah, you're right, there isn't much to say since I just saw you guys yesterday, so I will leave you with a really graphic funny short story from the Old Testament to look up and laugh at. It's in 2 Kings 2:23-25... you will have to tell me your thoughts on the Bald Prophet :)
With all my love,
