Song, Prayer, Song, Sacrament, Song, Prayer

Hi mom,
Its super hard for me to remember my last week or so
before i left... Wow it seems like so long ago! I do remember us
driving around my last night in Alaska and we followed a firetruck,
ate at an old fashioned diner, and just tried to enjoy the last
seconds we had. my week was great! it was pretty long though.. its
just so cool to see how things just happen for a reason all the time.
When we are doing the right things and trying our best to follow the
rules then things just fall into place and you get happiness galore!
Besides that amazingness im pretty happy. Im tired as can be everyday,
i get a little ticked at people sometimes, and things are very hard,
but i am so happy. Its really wierd.. oh well right?
we got stopped in a plaza by this random guy. He
started talking and asking penetrating questions right in our faces.
he was about as tall as my armpits and he would get on his tiptoes and
ask questions and stare at me from out of the sides of his eyes. I
named him Rafiki because i was expecting him to pull out a bamboo
stick thing and just smack us on the head with it. He was very drunk
and got mad at me when i tried to bring Christ in the conversation,
after an hour we escaped. twas an experience of a nightime.. but thats
all i got.love you alot mom!
Hey Dad,
What a week. Isnt that fast of winds supposed to be classified
as a tornado or a hurricane? Sounds like home :) I was looking through
some of the notes that i took a while ago and rolled upon a great
scripture. It is in Doctrine and Covenants 64 verse 29. It can be
applied to our callings in the church and our purpose here on earth as
well. The scriptures are just the best!! There is just not anything
better than them. I really wish that i wouldve had the habit of
reading them before i came on the mission but oh well what´re you
gonna do about the past right? Ive been having fun and just goin
through the same old fight here with the heat and the heat and the
heat. I weighed myself again and im back down to 95 kilos. Thanks for
the football i just love kicking it, its too bad that there isnt any
fields around this area that i can really lay into it. Not much more
to report this week but that it all turned out good. On saturday we
had a baptism! i filled the font up with what i thought was hot water
but the water heater died on us. when it was full it was all cold and
freezing. so i emptied it to halfway, fixed the water heater, and
filled it up again. when i came back to check it again the water was
just dripping out because i had used up all the water that the church
had... oops.. we did the service and the branch president that we have
tried cancelling church but we talked him into having at least
sacrament meeting. we had no speakers because i think the president
just wanted to end the day fast. So we did a song, prayer, song,
sacrament, song, prayer, and we left. it was about 30 minutes in
total. Im pretty sure it is all my fault in the end... next week we
should have a regular day. that was my week. have a great one yourself
in the snow. love, elder hayden summers
