Holy camolia! This is crazy stuff, the mission. I love it
though, despite a rash all over my body. That doesn't really matter,
unless it makes me not able to leave on Tuesday...that'd put a real
downer on...well, lots of things. BUT I will be happy anyway, cause in
the grand scheme of things, or just in really any scheme, it's not a big
deal and IT'S ALL GOOD! My rash is nothing compared to the Savior's
suffering for me, which includes this rash. He knows exactly how this
feels, and it ain't fun at all!
Anyway, I had some of the coolest and most real missionary experiences ever this past week in TRC. We taught a guy named Thrijae (3-jay), and he is so stubborn. He took till about the end of our time with him both times we visited him to open up. BUT when he did, I can't even describe how amazing he was! He feels guilty for his brother's suicide, but we helped him understand that he isn't and that he can see him again. He loved that. We invited him to pray at our first visit (not baptism...I know, shameful), and at our second visit, after a LOT of convincing, he told us that he had prayed and knows for himself that the church is true! It was incredible! He's a rockstar, and I love that guy.
Well, my time is over-ish. I spent a lot of time reading this week...OOPS. Better next week. And I wrote it all down in my journal, so no worries! We'll see if this will send at all.
I love you all so much!! I think I miss you...but it's hard to say here. It's where I'm supposed to be and I love it. I'm trying to develop the Character of Christ by turning outward, not inward. Especially when I want to turn in. I tried that when i was at the doc for the rash. I prayed for Thrijae and our other investigator, rather than for myself. It was really cool.
I hope I get to sleep tonight, I've been up for a few hours every night with rash problems. We'll see. The Lord has blessed me to be happy and not tired anyway.
Ps. we just went to the temple, and it was amazing!!
I Love the Lord.
Love you all,
Elder Tanner
