26 March 2012….seventh letter from Switzerland
Hey MAMA,
We were supposed to have fast and testimony meeting... well we did
but i didn't exactly participate in the fasting... I thought it was the
week after conference! Well, so i guess i will be fasting then anyway..
Guess what!! We got to go to the temple!! WOw That was cool and auf
deutsch! Super awesome. I had a tough time trying to say patriarchal
in german.. its not easy. Im so jealous...(that you and erica and jared went to general conference in Salt Lake City) actually, not really, I'm fine just strolling down to the church which is 1 minute away and spending the whole day there watching general conference and not having to park and worry and not
be able to see. Its better. so, we watch conference on saturday nigh tand sunday the whole day!
Its good to hear that brian liked the pictures haha. (picture of scott with the shirt that brian gave him)
The granola bars were wunderbar! Oh yeah thank you!!!
My companion is learning the guitar.. and we don't have much time to play.
So, we found some people with the family name, schenk, who came from eggiwil; (relatives on my grandfather's side who are traced back to the 1500's) i didn't know if you had already heard that.
They weren't too interested in the gospel.
The gospel is all about experiencing and doing; not knowing. If we know and don't do, that is actually worse than not knowing and not doing. Know it and then do it. That's how it works. Only do.
In Doctrine and Covenants 9:6 it describes the will of the Lord being the best.
That has helped me to be happier and to know I am here for a reason.
Also 2 Nephi 26:24 and 25
I love you mama.
