Mom,
I
hope this doesn’t wake you up... I was just going to tell you not to send a
package if you haven't yet, I have something you could put in for me. I am
going to the zoo right now! But I will talk to you after!
LOVE YOU
LOVE YOU
Your cute little boy
Hey Mom,
Have you sent that package yet? I need
some gloves. They don't have the ones I want here, and last year it was a pain.
When you are working in the cold and you have to use your pen in your planner a
lot it gets really annoying with gloves. I wanted to find those ones that are
like mittens, but then you can pull the top off of it to expose your fingers so
you can actually use your hands. you know the ones I mean? I don't know how you
would find them before winter though. Hadn't thought of that. Do you think you
could find some?
Famlee!
Hey everybody! How are
you all doing? I am great. Things here are good. This week we were getting
ready for this next week to come... the week before transfers. I am kind of
dreading it, because the last week before transfers in the office was insane.
We a lot of nights with very little sleep. Hopefully we can be even more
efficient this time though so that things aren't too crazy.
This week there really
isn't too much to tell. We are still working with Alex and his family, but
unfortunately we haven't been able to get a hold of them much. We are also
working when we can with a woman named Sara who has a lot of potential. I am
really looking forward to having a lot more time to do work in the field.
Today we went to the
zoo here in Lisbon which was pretty fun. The aquatic show was awesome and super
funny too. It reminded me of the summer we all went to Sea World. My favorites
though were the monkeys. It reminded me of how much Levi loves monkeys.
Danny, happy birthday!!!!!
I can't believe you are 12 now! You're a man! You are almost ready to pack up
your bags and be a missionary! You will be such a good missionary, I am excited
for you.
Speaking of good missionaries, Cameron, I am so excited to hear about your call! I think I am even more excited than you are! I hope you are getting yourself ready, because it is going to be the best 2 years of your life. It will also be the fastest, I can testify to that. Time is blowing by.
I have been doing a
study on the atonement (the huge study that I translated... I already knew it
really well before actually starting the study) for the past week, and it has
been so awesome. I have been studying the condescension of Jesus Christ, but
also of the Father. They both sacrificed so much. It reminded me of a class we
had in seminary where you, dad, led us in a study of the story of Abraham and
Isaac. You asked us who we would rather be in that situation: Isaac, who was
about to be sacrificed because of the will of his father, or Abraham, who had
to sacrifice his very own, promised son. We can't forget about the sacrifice
that the Father made in sending His very own son to save the world. I am so
thankful for the sacrifice of both Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I know
they live.
Well, I know this is a
short letter, but honestly, a lot less interesting things happen cooped up here
in the office... I need to spread my wings and fly again.
I love you all, and
hope you have an awesome week!
Elder Lee
PS - This is something I whipped up over the weekend.
