Good after noon,
Central Bank time 12:00, today is Monday August 2nd, current temperature 10000 degrees. I remembered about calling time and temperature the other day and how could I forget those famous lines.
This week was pretty cool. Full of hard work and childish disagreements. Needless to say my companion is currently giving me the silent treatment. (I too thought that didn't happen outside of elementary school) He's one who thinks that the love he has for his family is more than any other human being can have for his family and that's his excuse for being “trunky” all the time. I politely said that there were 52,000 other missionaries in the world that are making the same sacrifices that he's making and that because they know why they're out here they don't let the distance from their family distract them from the work. Then I got to thinking how grateful I am that I could get my mind in the right place ever since the beginning. I've never had a problem with home sickness or anything like that. Is it because I don't love you all? Is it perhaps because our family relationship is less than other people? NO!!!! It's because I was called by a prophet of God to dedicate 2 years of my life to the Lord. I don't need any other excuses to not get home sick. IF I were to get home sick it would mean that my testimony that President Monson is a prophet of God is weak. If He is a Prophet of God then I am supposed to be in this exact place at this exact moment!
I hope you all know that I Love you a ton!! Just because I don't think about you every single second of everyday doesn't take any of that Love away. Just know that I have other responsibilities I need to take care of right now and that by sacrificing my thoughts about home leaves me a lot more time to worry about the salvation of those that I am here to help!!
This Church is true, and President Monson IS called of God to be a Prophet! I know this!!!!
Love Jeff!!!!
