Funny story, Elder Deakin ate a really hot pepper that was like the
size of a finger on a newborn baby. And holy cow did it pack a punch Elder Deakin could not talk for a bit after that, nor breathe right and his face was sweating out of control and he later said that it hurt
like heck. So ya that was super funny because the investigator was
laughing quite hard and his wife was quite mad at him. But in all
fairness there was this Mexican guy that almost died too, so it was a really
hot pepper! It was called a Tabasco red pepper!
This week was just another week down here in the south it's
not that hot anymore it's around 75 so much better then 85 degrees. We also so taught a bunch of people, so that was super nice. But most important to me was watching
General Conference which was amazing and I am so glad I was able to
watch the whole thing. My favorite quote was " The way you treat your kids
is how you see your kids, and how you see your kids is how you kids
grow up or turn out." I am not sure who said it but it really meant a
lot to me, because I have seen over my life the effects of good
parents and he effects of a bad parents. And a lot of parents blame the
kid for growing up and getting into bad things or going off the deep-end
but I believe that if you have the best hope for you kids and you love
them unconditionally and support them, you come to see that they too
also love you and want to support you and they become good people! And Joy is much more cooler the happiness, because Joy in the book of
Mormon meant to become like Heavenly Father. Like it teaches in 2 Nephi
2:25 "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have
joy." and Joy is meant to become like Heavenly Father.
Ok
well I am done with another week, last week was good we went on a hike on
P-day and on this here hike I found hills which was like the coolest
thing ever because down here it's flat as a pancake, so ya every week
has some new thing to see and do and I am excited to go and see what this
week has to throw at me. Love you all so much and want the best for you,
so keep your life center on Christ.
Love Elder Gordon
(From Michelle) I had a chance to IM with Ryan for a little bit this morning and I wanted to share something he said.
"I
am going to be honest if I came home now, I would be more changed then I
could have ever been if I were anywhere else doing anything else..... but don't worry I am still the same boogie.
(Love that kid)
Here is the letter Ryan sent to Scott...
Hey so how is it going? I want to say it's good that you sold the pathfinder but at the same time I am very sad to see it go I loved that car with all my hart it has so many memories good and bad. It helped me through a ton, it was the best car that I could have asked for growing up and I love you for helping me obtain it and maintain it over the past couple of years, I am so glad to have had a car, so thanks!
Other
then that I think it is getting colder here too like this past week it
was in the 70's to low 80's it was so nice. Conference was super good, did you
get a chance to watch much of it? Did you watch the priesthood session
at all? Did you like on how it was all about Home teaching, and
missionary work?
For sure time is flying, it's been 76 days since I said good-bye to
you that morning at the airport in Bellingham I cant believe it's been
so long, but I have come so far and I have so much more to go I can't
wait!
You
wont believe what happened to Z. M. last week! He crashed on his
bike and broke both of his wrists and hurt much more. idk what he was
doing, but o my!
Anyway I love you and what you have done for me in this life, you are my
best friend and the best dad I could have ever asked for!
Love
Elder Gordon
