In addition to the weekly letter, Nathan was able to send me a quick note expressing love and thanks later in the week. (Yes, tears... But happy ones. I'm blessed to have him in my life.) Then a few days ago, we got another handwritten letter. I love the updates! It just makes it hard to keep up with the posts here. Here's his weekly friends and family letter... The rest are just as great!
Dear friends and family,
This week has gone by so fast! So much so I have a hard time remembering what we did. We were able to get two people on date for baptism and were able to teach several lessons. We are starting to get a pretty good teaching pool and I am loving the people. Everyone here is great! Especially the members! They do so much for the church it is truly amazing.
There were several great talks during General Conference. But my favorite was probably Elder Holland's. He is such an amazing speaker! Holy cow! I love listening to him! His message on charity and giving to the poor was absolutely phenomenal! He made several good points. One of them was that we should be generous in all that we do and in doing so the Lord will be generous to us. I don't know about you guys but I can't imagine what the Lord's generosity is like! I know that I will personally try to give more. And I would encourage you all to do the same!
This being the new month we got new miles for the car! That was a relief. Towards the end we ran out and we had to walk every where. Which wasn't to great because our area is all of Franklin county. But it also gave us plenty of opportunities to talk to people.
Well that's it for this week. I love you all and i miss you all as well. The Lord loves you all as well!
-Elder Jarman
