Dear Mom,
My week went well. I got to know Elder Harris (my district
leader) better this week. He graduated 2009 and lives in Montana. So, he we
have a lot in common cause the way of life there is very similar to ours.
Seeing as we are in the great North West. He studying in BYU-I and was there
when I visited two years ago (wow, that seems like a long time ago). This week
there isn`t a whole lot of new stuff but next week should be better.
So for the story. I left the room with my keys and a little
money, when this impression came to me that I should tuck it in my waistband
rather than carry it in my hand or pocket. Just so happens that a drunk guy
thinks it`d be a good idea to rob me, but seeing as I apparently had nothing he
just left all mad. I know it was the spirit that protected me (it`s more like
he protected me from a bad situation more than harm. I would have dropped that
drunk little guy before he knew what happened, but seeing as I am a missionary
(and disciple of Jesus Christ) I can`t be doing stuff like that). And several
times throughout that week I received the impression to avoid some streets, so
you guys don`t have to worry about me, cause the Lord is taking pretty good
care of me.
I love the Gospel and the Families. I love how Christmas
brings the families together in this wonderful season but it is even greater
how the Gospel brings families together forever. I love you all and know that
one day we will be united again with our Heavenly Family and our own families.
May God speed the right!
Love,
Elder Divis
