hey fam
well this week has been crazy my trainee is still struggling hard,
but all i can do is continue to love him and pray that he will change ,
but thats not something i or god can force , only he can let god into
his life and forget about his natural man which is an enemy to god, life
is just so much easier and happier when you submit to the will of the
father, but if he does not improve soon i think presidant will send him
home, i cant take him around some members, cuz he hates mexicans, he
wont even read the scriptures with us when we visit less actives, which
has offended a few families, i forgot how prideful the world is, but im
thankful, it is a constant reminder to me that no man can serve two
masters, your either in the world suffering miserably, or your with
god passing through difficulties happily and with apreciation. please
pray for him, he needs this more then anyone i have ever known, pray for
me two that i dont give up on him, if he doesnt change here and find
peace through the gospel and serving others then i he will be miserable
through the rest of his life, never living up to his potential of
goodness that can come through living and understanding the gospel.
anyways enough of sad talk.
this week has been way fun, my glasses broke, my toe broke, and so
did the drier, but yet im happier then ever , the other night me and an
elder that i live with elder cahoon stayed up till 2 just talking ,
which was fun, it reminded me of what me and michael king and mike
cooper would do, quite funny how many michaels have played such a big
role, and had such a big impact on my life. our district had a baptism
and afterwords we went to a hibachi grill ( buffet, chinese) which was
awersome, half of the workers were hispanic and i got to talking with
them in spanish while they would cook my hibachi ( kinda like tepanyaki,
just cheaper and not as much quality) which was fun, man i love the
hell out of hispanics, literally i love the hell right out of them, it
was way fun and we have an appointment to teach them this week, there
coming to play soccer with us as well on wednesday.
so my companion told everyone in the world that he played college
soccer, lets just say, hes never played a competitive game in his
life,so soccer this wednesday was hilarious when they finally convinced
him to play with us and the truth was revealed, watching my little
companion run away from the ball, haha but its ok he will quit lying
once he gains some self confidence and gets comfortable with being
himself on his mission.
one of our investigators named fabian came to church last weekfor
the first time, and when we showed up to his house this week he had
bought a white shirt, and asked if i could find him a tie, and of course
i have a billion so i gave him a few, hes awesome, gave up drinking
like it was nothing and its just fun to see how the holyghost can really
change people as it says in alma five, what a "mighty change of heart"
fabian has experienced, cant wait for his baptism!
this week has been great, im gonna go but a new suit from a thrift
store today! and i am gonna eat some good ol chicken fried steak just
for my momma!probably some mac n cheese too , mm mm good
well we also had a mission conference this week with our area
authority of the 70 elder gonzalez, he is amazing i loved hearing him
speak and also seeing the other missionaries experience a little of what
we experience with our hispanic members. i learned so much.
i washed my whites and realized that my garments are more yellow
then white haha, stupid humidity and sweat, so mom if you could send me a
bunch of medium mesh tops and a bunch of 32 dry lux bottoms i would be
eternally grateful, my shirts are yellow too, but i can buy those. my
trainer elder jared radmall, and my other favorite companion elder brent
carter go home this week, please look them up on facebook and tell them
i love them and thanks for all they have done for me in my life.
radmall is from st george, and carter is from seatlle washington.
anyways , i love you guys so much and miss you tons, send me scott coopers email, and adress to write, that boy needs some love.
love elder harris
