So beck Family!
Here is the better letter that i promised you. So this last
week has been super good for us. Even though we had a lot of our time taken up
for dumb little things. On tuesday we had an entire day of meetings. Literally
the whole day. That is jsut part of the Zone leader life is now i get to go to
a ton more meetings. And for the last 2 days we havent left the apartment
except for sacrament meeting because elder W has been super sick. Just
puking his guts and blood out. Yep, gross. But he will get better. I even got
to go to walmart at like 11 at night to buy him some medicine. it was approved
by president so nobody freak out. But he is doingbetter today. But even with
all of that we had a really good week. We were able to teach double digit
member present lessons this week, which is always a great thing. The members
here in this ward are super good, maybe the best i have seen at coming out with
the missioanryes. They actually look for ways to come out with you, not the
excuses of why they cant. For real, never give missionaries excuses for why you
cant come out with them. You can always come out, even if it isnt the exact
time that they asked you to, volunteer that you can come out a different time,
or actually move your life a little bit to go out. For real, it is the most
annoying thing in the world when we ask a member to come out with us and they
tell us that they cant because they have to do the laundyr at that time, or
that thye have to cook dinner. those things can be moved, salvation, can not.
Sorry, that was dramatic. But that is what i love about this ward and these
members, they look for the ways to become available to come out with us,
andbecause of it there is a lot of super good things happening in this ward. We
had 3 investigators come to church this week, and they all stayed for the
classes too becasue the members fellowshipped them and stayed with them. That
is the difference that members make, we need them to help people really get the
full church expereince.
So tomorrow i am going to drop off elder K at the
airport. His 2 years are up, that means im gonna wake up at 5 am to get him to
his flight on time. I might collapse with exhaustion. I have everytime ive done
this i nthe past. I have loved being in our zone leader trio, its been super
fun. But its time for him to go home. Its all good though. Me and elder W
are gonna keep good things happening here, and we are going to see good things
happen. I got the jerky, me and my companins have loved it. This is an exact
quote from elder K "I have tried a lot of jerky in my life,
but this is easily the best jerky that my mouth has ever tasted. I would pay
you for it, but becasue you are my companion i know you will just charitabley
share it with me."
So well done on the jerky family, well done.
The library i am at will not allow me to send pictures so
that will have to wait, sorry family, i know that i really like pictures too.
I went on exchanges with the AP this week, it was super
good. But the thing is everytime i am with my mission president or with the
AP's i realize how crappy of a missionary i am. My mission president is just so
good, soo goooood, that everytime i see him i realize that i am so far being
being that good. But it is ok, i think im still taking my baby steps forward.
Oh, and this week, i heard that Pico Rivera was rated
the number one place in the nation for drive by shootings. Now the only reason
i would belive that is because one of the recent converts in this area was just
shot this last week. It went right though his kidney and out his stomach. He
was shot with a rifle from a car,classic drve by. He is doing just fine
now(priesthood blessing) but it makes me think that maybe it is real about the
drive by stat. Somebody should check that for me, i want to know if that is
true.
Love you family, take care.
Beck out,
Elder Beck
