I'm doing awesome, happy to hear the Seahawks
snuck out a win this week. That's always nice news, also I'm sorry to
hear about Oscar Tavares, that's terrible news. It's times like those
that bring people closer to God than ever before, sometimes we need to
be broken down so the Lord can build us back up bigger and stronger than
before.
I leave back to the field in a week! It's fetching
crazy but I'm so excited to return to doing the work I love. It's going
to be incredible! I can't wait to serve the people of Salt Lake City!
The weather here is really good, Dad wasn't kidding when he told me that
Utah has really nice fall weather. It's beautiful down here. What we
get for like 2 weeks in Canada for fall they get for a few months and
it's really pretty seeing all the different colors! God has created an
amazing and awe inspiring world for us to live in!
I've gone
to the Provo Temple every P. Day and it's gorgeous! I still like the
Cardston temple more, it is much bigger and in my opinion way prettier.
It's still nice to do the work of the Lord though!
The Spanish
is going good! I've got lots of things mastered, I just need to improve
my vocabulary more, that's probably my biggest problem right now.
I've been playing sports daily still and after I'm going to play some ball after I'm done writing.
I
would just like to invite everyone that reads this to just be a loving
person to all. The central focus of the Gospel of Jesus Christ all
relates back to love. The reason we're here, the reason Christ died for
us, the reason we receive trials, all relate back to the fact that God
loves us! He really does and I feel his love constantly! I'm so grateful
for all he does for us, especially each one of us personally!
Dad- Thanks for sharing that message from President Eyering. I have some scriptures for you to look up on your own time dad. I've been praying a lot recently asking God why he puts you through such hard trials. I had trouble understanding because you're the one that goes to church, serves the Lord constantly, keeps his covenants, and is an amazing example to me. I was so confused why the Lord would continually fire new problems at you. In one of our class activities, Hermana Kent in my district shared scriptures with me that answered my prayers. Here they are: 1 Corinthians 10:13, Jeremiah 1:5, Doctrine and Covenants 18:10, and 84:88. Those scriptures will provide comfort, they did for me at least.
Thanks girls for the letter, that's a super cute picture too thanks so much for sharing. I hope the triplets are doing good. I love you guys so much and thanks for all the prayers an support. Miranda that sentence makes no sense haha encantar is to sing, so you said "Me song basketball" haha. Say this instead: "Me gusta encantars balencesto." It means "I like basketball songs."
I love all of you, thanks so much!
Hasta lluego!
Con amor,
Elder Strate
