Jacob - December 12, 2016


Hey mom, it was good to hear from you. I'm glad to hear that your activity went well. Our christmas will be this Saturday, hopefully it'll be a good one. Also thanks for sending me those pictures of Morgan, it looks like he's having a good time despite the challenges there. Also thank you for your little spiritual thought about the brother of Jared, i haven't thought of it that way before so that was interesting. I'm actually almost into Ether in my book of mormon reading. I just read about the Apostasy of the Nephites that lead to their destruction, that's some sad stuff. It is a good reminder though about staying on the lord's side. Obedience = Blessings. Anyways I'm going to go through our week somewhat quickly. I'm running a little low on time. But this week was good, we taught a good amount and we have been using the video a bunch during our contacts with people. It's a really great video because it doesn't matter if someone is Catholic, Jehova's Witness or Christian, the video applies to all people that believe in Christ. We then will usually try to apply a principle from the Restoration to the people and understand better of what we believe. So that has been going well. This week we also had a zone meeting that was based on the attributes of Christ. It went really well and I enjoyed it a lot. I always love to study those attributes, but something that I've enjoyed is finding the connections between the attributes for example how obedience effects patience or virtue or maybe viceversa. Lastly on Sunday night there was a stake activity where a bunch of wards or smaller groups sang some songs. It was a really spiritual night, one of the songs we sang together (all the members) and that was really cool, very loud but in a rejoicing sort of way. Also there was a missionary choir and we killed it. We sang Jesus en pesebre, venid adoremos & la primera navidad. We sounded really good, especially on venid adoremos. We'll be singing it two more times so hopefully I'll be able to get a recording of it. Also today for p day we did a hike. It was one I've done earlier in the mission, but it was a lot of fun. I think I'll be feeling it later tonight or tomorrow. We'll see. That's sort of the reason this email is so late, but it looks like I got it off in time before P-day officially ended. But I love you lots and I hope you have a good week. Also please show tayler some of this email if you'd like, I wasn't able to send him something.
