Dear Mom,
Yes, the keyboards are different here, I always wonder if
the punctuation is ok when you read it (But I still can`t blame my terrible
spelling on the keyboard, I just can`t spell.) I am glad to hear that you and
Dad made it safely to Germany and are having a great time. My week went better
this week. We had a baptism! Nadia Valenzuela was baptized and confirmed. And
something just as exciting, a family that we are teaching, Damer and Monica,
told us they would get married in 5 years or so, but we talked with them and
they prayed about it together and they will get married November 19th!!!! 2011.
Damer is Anderson`s little brother. (Anderson got baptized 2 weeks ago) And
another family is also preparing to get married. I love working with family and
I know that they are fundamental to the Plan of God. Thanks for being the
greatest family ever!!!! I wanted to ask you, Can you send me pictures of the
family? It would be cool to have pictures of the individual families. ie:
James` family, Trissa`s, Laura`s, and Jordan`s. And pictures of me playing
Football, Wrestling, and Soccer. A couple of each. I know it most likely won`t
be possible while you`re in Germany but if I didn`t write it now I might
forget.
Don`t get discouraged not understanding the language. I was talking
with some members that told me I didn`t speak a word a year ago and some new
missionaries that are just starting. It made me think about what has changed
and how I learned. You just to open your mouth and vomit the words out. They
sort through what you threw up and understand a little. Now that`s a pretty
graphic example but the point is, you just gotta try. Some will understand ok
others a little and others won`t understand anything and that is when hand
gestures come in handy, haha ha :) I love you Mom and I marvel at your
wonderful qualities and hope to be able to acquire them.
Love,
Elder Divis
P.S. I got all your e-mails that you sent from your iPhone. Thanks
for the updates. Have Fun!
