Happy Thanksgiving! Hope
everyone had a great Thanksgiving day and a great break from work and school!
For me Thanksgiving was definitely not the same haha that day kinda sucked. My
dinner was a piece of chicken, actually wasn`t too bad, and then some type of
soup. I can`t really tell ya what type of soup it was, I know there was carrots
in it and some weird very nasty leaves too, so not the greatest but I did get
to eat a PB and J at the house so that was nice haha. Also this week I saw some
weird stuff, I saw a couple way nice fourwheelers, Polaris Sportsmans and a
couple dirt bikes yamahas and suzukis definitely did not think I would see
those in this country...ever. Then I saw something that was so very messed up.
We were walking back from our Thanksgiving Feast and passed a homeless guy,
very old and on crutches, he was nice though just said hi to us and have a safe
trip and kept on walking. Then some little kids came sprinting by us and I
turned around just in time to see them run right into the homeless guy and then
one of the girls picked up a rock the size of a softball and threw it at the
homeless guy. He couldn`t do anything about it though cause he was on crutches.
I just ran over there and kinda scared all the little brats away. I`m not sure why some people feel like they
can treat others that way, but anyways it just really made me mad. Not sure why
I wrote that story but anyways now the rest of my letter.
We didn`t end up having our
baptism this week, we couldn`t find William at all. Everyday he ended up having
to work and then he didn`t come to church yesterday either so I`m not sure what
has happened but hopefully we can figure it out this week. Also last Wednesday
I started the BOM again, I`m still reading in Spanish and in English but I started
it again and I`m just marking the blessings that we have. I`m about midway
through Second Nephi and holy cow do we have a lot to be thankful for, it`s
almost ridiculous how much we owe our Heavenly Father, He has given us
everything.
Just looking through my
planner there wasn`t a whole lot of stuff to talk about...Oh we had a multizone
meeting with the President and his wife. So that meeting was on Tuesday and was
about a six hour meeting so I did learn a lot from that but all my notes are
back at the house so I can`t put a cool quote in here ha dangit. Oh yeah and in
our District Meeting Thursday, my comp is the district leader, and he had us do
some practices of teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ using the Book of Mormon,
I`m not exactly sure why but he decided to just have one person teach it and
the rest of the district act like investigators, well of course I got picked to
teach. But it was good. Elder LeSueur told me that I teach really well and that
he can feel the Spirit as soon as I start talking. Huge confidence booster that
was haha. But yeah other than that not much has happened.
Last Monday I got one
package, the one that had Raul`s tie in it, he loved it by the way. And thank
you so much for the other stuff too! And I also got a letter from Elder Judy
and Elder Kaulin Johnson so that was pretty sweet too. Sounds like Thanksgiving
at home wasn`t too fantastic with the festivities and what not but I hope
everyone was still able to appreciate the time together and give thanks for
everything that we have been blessed with in our lives, especially this Gospel.
I was very grateful that day for all of my friends and family, for all of your
support and love and words of encouragement, thank you all so much. Have an
excellent week and as always. Que Dios les bendiga!
Love,
Elder Derrick Jorgensen
