Well this Thursday it'll be November 18th, one year since I left home. Because I have only contributed enough money for about half of my mission I will be coming home....... Just Kidding. It is kind of interesting to try to think back to that day I left. Dad and Chase drove me to the airport. Uncle Matt R, and Grandma and Grandpa Tuft greeted me at the airport. They took me to lunch and we got to see Hope.
It doesn't feel like that much time has passed by. I think I've grown quite a bit. I weigh in fifteen pounds heavier than when I left, but fit into all of the same clothes fine. I think some of my pants have gotten a little shorter, that or I've grown a little. I also feel way more confident. There really isn't much I can't accomplish. I feel like I am doing pretty good as a teacher. My testimony has grown. I think I've developed a little more patience... maybe. Anyways I know there isn't anything that I could be doing right now that would be better for me.
The work here in Temple has slowed down dramatically. We are thinking of better ways to find people. I wish I could find a way to get the ward excited about inviting there friends. We have started tracting a different part of town and the people seem to be a bit more effective.
The man named Mark that we've been visiting with since I've been here is getting really close. He has set a date for himself but still has some concerns about the Book of Mormon and modern prophets. It doesn't seem like he is praying very sincerely when he prays in front of us. He just prays that my companion Elder Bevan, who is pretty quiet, will get a speaking engagement in the great city of Salt Lake. We continue to invite him to pray. He will be finishing the Book of Mormon this week. I think that he believes that it is true, but is just being stubborn. Will you please pray for him.
Elder Bevan and I are getting along really well. We haven't had a disagreement this transfer. It has been really good. We are trying to think of ways that we can be a little more obedient and diligent so that the work will improve.
I love y'all.
