I have less time today because everyone in my
zone has to come to the family history center so I'll try and hurry.
This week went a lot quicker and it was good. BUT I actually rolled my
ankle last week while playing basketball which really hurt. It popped
but like three days after it was better. Would it be okay if I bought
basketball shoes? They have a lot of ankle support. I think that I might
go and buy some after this. My companion is saying that it'll be worth
it. so thanks Mom and Dad haha I hope its okay.
Elder Sudbury and I are still getting along well.
This week we kept teaching our main investigator Diana. She's really
awesome and she's been coming to church. She's actually supposed to get
baptized on the 15th! At first her boyfriend didnt want to have anything
to do with us and he didn't like us but now he's taking the lessons too
which is so great. He didn't make it to church but I think he will next
week. I love teaching them and bearing my testimony that the gospel will
change their lives. It's kind of silly but I didn't really get that
much out of reading the scriptures before I came here but now its
actually not enough to study for an hour. Right now I'm trying to read
the Book of Mormon in 90 days from the 21st of August. I just started
Jacob and at the end of 2 Nephi it's so awesome because Nephi saw a
vision of everything and he knew about Christ and he knew that the only
way we can be saved is through faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the
gift of the holy ghost and enduring to the end.
I'm also reading Jesus the Christ and the New
Testament. I'm in Mark right now and around page 200 on Jesus the
Christ. I just read when Jesus is talking about considering the ravens
and the lilies. It's a really interesting thing that he' talking about.
God will provide the necessities if we trust in him. Another thing that I
liked is before you seek for riches, seek for the word of God which is
what I'm doing haha so it made me feel good.
North Long Beach is good. The weather has been
really nice...kind of hot but I really can't complain. Diana isn't the
only person that we're teaching. We've found three other families that
we're trying to meet with more. A lot of them were busy or gone because
of labor day. Happy Labor Day!
Surprisingly, I don't miss my phone at all or nearly
as much as I thought I would which is really great. I miss everyone of
course a lot though. Thanks for the emails, Mom and Dad. I hope everyone
is doing alright and it's crazy how fast the summer went by! Hope
everyone will have a great year at school.
Ummm, I think that's it? I'm still on bike 24/7 which
is fun and my ward is super small and the people are pretty crazy but
really great haha.
Love you all,
Elder Silas Gallagher
