Eating Jalapeños, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Hello family how are we doing?Sounds like a ton is going on
right now, I’m kind of struggling to type on the computer right now, because I’m
eating Doritos with one hand and typing with the other haha. my love for Doritos
still hasn’t changed but the Doritos yes because the Doritos here are spicy
they don’t have the original nacho cheese flavor its nacho cheese with Chile’s
haha super good but a lil spicy, wow I haven’t really talked about the food
here in a while, but I’ll just say it how it is the food here is super good, I’ve
got a good little tummy growing haha, I’ve also gotten use to eating spicy food
I’m not completely converted but I’m getting there haha, cant say that I don’t
miss moms cooking because I do. I find myself drooling thinking about her casseroles
or candy chicken or peach cobbler haha, but no the food here really is good
:),
That’s super cool that for mutual Payton got to go shooting
haha, hopefully he will get to be as good as I am ;), This week was pretty good
we had a lot going on haha, but it was a good week, at the start of the week, Tuesday our air conditioner broke in the morning :( and so it got a little hot in
the house haha but I tried fixing it... turns out I should have spent more time
in Triple T....haha, but we got it all fixed, also this day we got attacked by
our landlords dog!! Flipping dog is crazy!! He is always super chill when we pass by him but this one time we passed and he
flipped out on us and I screamed like a girl running towards a tree trying to
climb it haha, and my comp freaked out ran for a rocking chair on the patio of
our land lord and was about to crush the dog haha but we ended up retreating to
the house, but when we left we left with umbrellas as protection haha super
funny, but scary too, also this week we had our zone conference!! whoo so we
got to get together as a zone and have some good trainings, we talked a lot
about the family history work, and it was super cool, I got to share my story
about john tanner and Zera Pulsipher and everyone thought it was pretty cool,
but I wish I would have done more family history work!! haha its super cool and
we truly can find out who we are when we look for who are family was, I would like
to invite all of you to do a little bit a family history work, it truly is such
a blessing to be in the church with the power of priesthood to do this work and
save our ancestors, in a talk I heard from Jeffrey R Holland he said that when
we do family history work we are acting as saviors for our ancestors who have
died without a knowledge of this gospel because literally we are saving them
and their soul, I know that the family members who died with a knowledge and
testimony of this gospel are working super hard right now to convert
those who weren’t converted in this life but they need our help!! so let’s get
er done and get working!!! I promise that if we do it we will see the blessings
in this life, but even more in the next!! :) We got to have an awesome lesson
with Michel this week! we taught her about the plan of salvation, it truly is
one of my favorite lessons it helps understand who we are where we come from
and what our goals should be in this life, I’m so grateful for my parents that
taught me this since I was a kid, I still remember the long nights as a little
kid always worrying about death and what happens after and I remember the talks
with my mom and dad and the comfort they gave me and the lessons they taught me
about the plan of salvation and how this is not the final life, many people think
we come to this world to die, but the plan of god is bigger than that we come
to this earth to live, obviously we have to die, but that is such a small part
in the plan of God or but the family picture is to live forever and that is possible
thanks to what Christ did for us! That’s why the message is called plan of
salvation or plan of happiness! we taught Michel about Adam and eve and its
always a little hard to teach this message because there are so many people
that have different ideas about this principle and they are always kind of
different but we followed the spirit and we taught it super good and she
understood and then we talked about her baptism and she gladly accepted and
said she is super excited for her baptism and her parents invited us over for
cake and tacos for the birthday of my companion :) we are super stoked and she
came to church yesterday and it was super awesome!! :) Please keep praying for
her that she will keep being excited and preparing herself for her baptism and
that her parents will approve it :) I know that prayers are heard and
answered!! This work is true and I’m so grateful to be a missionary I see the
hand of the lord in our lives so much and I’m definitely not perfect but no one
is, we just have to be continually trying to be better and the perfection will
come later I love you guys so much and hope you are all doing well, I invite
you guys to read 3 Nephi 14:24-27 and think about how you guys can
listen to the messages of conference and live them and not just listen to them
but live them so that we have a house or (life) built upon the rock of Christ
:)
I love you guys have an awesome week :)
Love Elder Tanner
