Hey mom!
haha.. theres a friend of a member here whose name is actually sunshine...
sonnenshein! haha his last name. (mom always addresses my letters as Elder Sunshine)
YYep!!! I knew jacob would be fast tracked!! Tell annaGREAT that i say hi and I love them!
Oh man... feeling the spirit is so exhausting... I am always dead on sunday because of that! Oh and this morning as i was studying the scriptures... I was crying for like an hour straight! It was soo good! I love reading the scriptures by the spirit and writing things down when they come because... more and more come!
Our ward is great.. almost like frontenac!! a lot from everything and actually a ward! rajeev came to sacrament meeting on sunday and i think he enjoyed it.. but had to go to work only after 30 minutes... he really wants to try to feel the spirit... but just like all the swiss he has no time to do the things necessary to feel it and be ready for the inspiration.
I will send pics!!!
schedule... hmm study for 3 hours in the morning and then eat and then go door to door like 3 hours a day... find and talk to as many people as i can on the street in the bus, on the train and in a plane... gnaw we don't have planes but i thought the rhyme was nice. We have a laundromat in our building.
The grocery story is almost like a small wal mart... much better here in switzerland... the other is like a third world country supermarket.
Let me know where he is going!!!! I love youuu!!!

This week, the lord gave me a nice little present for my 10 month anniversary as a missionary:
a miracle.
His name is Robbin and he went from atheist to believer in a minute or two. We met him on the street and asked him to read a scripture about God in 2 Nephi 26:23-24. He read for quite a while and we asked him what he liked. He said a couple of points about it. I then asked if he had ever felt the light and love of God; he said yes, just a moment ago as i read that passage. He said I felt something right here, as he pointed to his heart. He said, it was like a burning here. The spirit had touched his heart!
We bore testimony that he had felt the love of God and the holy ghost and that God lives. He then said, hmm yea I guess there is a God! We made an appointment to call him and gave him a book of mormon.
He was changed in the twinkling of an eye, by the spirit of the lord. It changed him; like it did with king Lamoni in Alma 19:6. (from an unbeliever to a believer) He felt the wonderful light that Alma the younger felt in Alma 36:20-21, And i have experienced it too. It's true, the gospel is true, and the Lord can bless us with the POWER of the spirit. He changes our hearts and others heart so that we have no more desire to do evil but do good continually: Mosiah 5:2-4. I love it; the scriptures are true. The conversion of alma and paul happened similarly. It's all true and we can experience the joy of the gospel and miracles daily when we do our best to follow the example of the master, Jesus Christ.
