Hey Dad!
That actually sounds like a good idea to maybe
try for Elders. Also I would say try and do any other kind of simple activities
as well. Maybe even try and get some more sports in there. Guys all like
sports. And you are all not that old. So maybe golf, basketball, and so forth.
Like here we play basketball twice a week. Once on Saturday more focusing on
inviting investigators. Then on Monday morning from 6-7 for our exercise (this
is just more the missionaries as well as some members). None of us are particularly
good. But we just play to have fun and be with each other. So good luck with
getting the Elders all more involved and getting more friendly.
It's interesting that the stress management
book talks about specifically if something is bothering you to talk it out and
let it out. If it is something that you don't want to talk about, then don't
let it bother you. Yeah it can sometimes be a pain when your whole routine and
comforts get disrupted, but that is what life sometimes is all about. How we
learn, react, and grow.
So this is what I shared with President today.
Actually kind of in response more to what you said as well about recognizing
the Spirit.
Hey President!
Well it's a new week and super excited for the
next move call. This week had some good moments to help me formulate out strong
plans of what I can do each day to work more effectively, with greater
excitement, and more joy and happiness. I am looking forward to what Elder
Williams and I can do to improve and accomplish in this coming move call. We
have lots that we communicate to each other and what we are willing to help
push and motivate each other to do.
I feel to simply share with you about this
past week my studies. I really focused in Preach My Gospel this past week
studying Chapter 1, really desiring to better understand what my purpose is.
It's really helped to see how important it is to refer and talk about the
Restoration, regardless of what background or religion they come from. Like you
said as well, is having a love for the people. The love of God. Something that
stood out to me and has progressed my Preach My Gospel study to its next phase
was how much Chapter 1 talked about as well as to having the Spirit and its
role and importance as a missionary right now. So I have begun studying Chapter
4 on recognizing the Spirit. It's really been impressed upon me that the
beginning talks of needing to recognize and understand the Spirit. And that it
states through diligent scripture study you come to better recognize and
understand the Spirit. So that is my quest right now to more fully understand
and recognize the Spirit. Because I cannot do this work on my own.
Love ya!
Elder Dayley
Z is liking and enjoying the Nantun ward as
well. He hasn't had a baptism interview yet because President hasn't gotten a
hold of him yet to set up a time to meet (probably because he is so busy). But
he sounds like he is still doing really good. Brother A and Brother L are doing
super awesome. They both got the priesthood yesterday. Brother L is super
awesome about wanting to share the gospel and wanting to be involved in
everything.
Yes I am watching Conference a week later. So
don't you spoil anything for me! So I am watching it the 11th and 12th.
Love you lots and lots!
Elder Roo
