Letter to Family, November 10, 2014

Hey yall,
This week was a pretty good one. On Monday last week we went to a gymnastics place in Hampton and played some extreme dodge all. Whoever said missions aren't fun they were crazy. It was really fun, we took one of the priests with us so he could be around missionaries other than us. He goes out with us a lot actually and is planning on going on his mission next summer. On Tuesday we went over an saw an investigator who had been gone for a month. He was out working in his front yard. When I say yard I mean huge yard. I never knew till now but all of the trees in the front of his house are pecan trees. We helped him pick pecans for like an hour. Fresh Pecans are the best thing ever by the way. That night we went and did role plays with the young men. Its crazy how much you role play as missionaries. Its really not as fun as it sounds though. Wednesday we tracted a little bit more then we went and helped a less active move some stuff into a storage unit. Thursday we had weekly planning and conference call with the president. It is crazy to think im two weeks away from being done with training. Im ready to be too cause its so hard to stay inside basically all morning. We taught 4 lessons on Thursday and got really wet in a North Eastern rain storm. It was crazy! I had never seen so much rain. Friday we had Zone meeting. It was the best meeting I had eve been part of. This month we are talking about the role of the Holy Ghost in conversion. The last half hour we sang hymns, bore testimonies, and then as a district we knelt and offered a prayer to our loving Heavenly Father. The spirit was no doubt in my mind there. After that I went on exchanges with Elder Brown in Yorktown. We taught four more lessons and went to a pet store to buy a trantuala. I bet you can never guess what we were going to do with it...... eat it!! We didn't do it though because it was way too expensive. Im pretty sure it would of helped me get over my fear of spiders though. Saturday we had a really good stake priesthood meeting. It focused on trying to do the little things to strengthen our family relationships and our relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus. I know that my Savior lives and that he paid for all of my sins, pain, sorrow, and knows exactly what I go through. I know that if you will do what we did in zone conference, and let the spirit guide your lives. It will become a habbit to do those little things because it is those little things that will lead us back to our Father in Heaven. I love all yall and I pray that you will feel of our Saviors love also. Pray to our Heavenly Father daily and always remember that He knows you and what is best for you. Have a good week yall.

Love Elder Bulllinger
