My dearest Family,
Words cant explain how great your emails sound to me right now. Its so sad that i couldnt read them and take time to take in all your words. I only have 24 minutes left :(
This week was crazy. Its gone by so fast. I was kind of bummed that I didnt get any letters from my family but when i read your emails it made me hopeful haha thank you all for sending what you have, hopefully i get it soon. I got a letter from Cameron Baron from school, and Elder Bruce Loli. Let me tell you now, letters make missionaries feel goooooood haha. Because we cant write back till p day it makes us itch like crazy.
This week went flying. ... We have several teachers that teach us many different things, and i have to tell you how blessed i am to be in this pilot program. ... All of our teachers have expressed how lucky we are to know the things that they only came to find out during the last six months of their mission. Also, the teachers at the MTC are crazy. Theyre fresh off the mission, and i think in order to work here they need to have converted the masses. They wont admit it though.
Elder Linzey and I normally stay alone in the room and study. They dont understand that the more they sacrifice, the stronger theyll be. The pilot program centers around teaching people, not lessons. Its way fun and just yesterday i had to give a lesson for sunday school and i have changed SIGNIFICANTLY. Its so nice to see the fruits of my labors so soon.
Anyways, I got my flight itinerary! Crazy stuff. I fly out next week already. We wake up next week tuesday at 4am and our flight leaves to las vegas at 7, then from vegas to california at around 9. Which means, i WILL be able to call my loved ones at the airport, so i'm sorry for calling so early in advance, but i really miss you guys.
It was so nice to work with halia, we just talked for about an hour while we scrubbed water fountains. He told me a lot that i didnt know i told him, because of some "blog"..to which I said, "oh boy". hahaha. Im glad youve put the stuff up though.
Something cool i want to share with you is that if we plan our lessons, the lord will bless us with the spirit. If you think about Nephi, he had two plans to get the plates from Laban. First to ask him, then to offer him gold. After that, he just relied on the spirit. The same goes for missionaries. If we plan our lessons, even if our investigators go off topic, we will be qualified for the spirit.
My branch president, president fisher is the man. He's ... really cool. What got me about him and his counselors is that on the first day, they gave us big hugs. Hugs that we all really needed. I loved that.
I hope the family is doing good. ... Thanks for sending that box, im sure ill get it soon. On p days we get to go to the temple. The provo temple is beautiful, i cant wait to go in a couple of hours. Also, today i'll be writing you all another letter. Probably around tomorrow you should stop sending mail or anything that needs to be delivered (except dearelders) because i wont get it, i'll be in california.
Sorry mom i couldnt print out my emails, i wish i could but theres no printer around here. Halia told me about that and i was considering it. Some elders showed us how to bypass the time limit but we dont do it. Thats dumb. Anyways, i hope you guys are doing well. I pray for you all every day and every night and try to do so by name. Thank you so much for taking care of Hill.
The work keeps me busy but you are all still on my mind. Me and my companion are way close now. We can talk about anything. ... Anxiously awaiting your letters, and with love,
Elder Watson
PS Thanks for your prayers, they are really helping me. Love you all.
