Hello!
It sounds like you guys
had a wonderful week! How long is Kailee staying for? I'm glad you were able to
spend time with Alison. She's a pretty cool kid. I am so proud of Ryan too!
What a good kid. My Father's Day was good. We got some delicious cookies from
one of the wards because they had some left overs. One of our bishops had a
baby last Tuesday. We stopped by on Saturday and got to see it. It was so small and cute! I'm so amazed that
we can create people. It just boggles my mind that God trusts us enough to do
that. I've been thinking about families a lot after that. I studied about
families today during my studies. What really stuck out to me is how central
the family is to the plan of salvation. We lived together as one big family
with God in the premortal life. We are sent to Earth in families to learn,
love, and prepare to return to live with God. After we die we can live as
families in the presence of God. Without families we could not reach our full
potential and experience the greatest amount of joy. God truly knows what he is
doing having families, father and mother and children. It is so beautiful and
delicious!
We took Chris and Cynthia
to temple square on Tuesday. We watched God's Plan for our Families with them.
I love that movie. I almost cry every time. Chris started to cry. He truly
wants to teach his children good and he knows that is it through the gospel of
Jesus Christ that will happen. We are still waiting to hear back from the first
presidency to see if he can get baptized. It won't be for a couple of weeks
until we hear back. He hasn't found a job yet so I'm not sure how they are
doing financially.
Elder Dean and I went
running on Thursday for workout! That is the first time I've ran in months! My
thighs hurt for two days! I didn't think my thighs would be hurting because we
bike so much.
This week was a tough
week. A lot of our appointments cancelled and it seemed like there was no one
home! It was a little frustrating, but it happens.
Yesterday evening we went
to the stake center to use the bathroom. You'll never guess who was there!
Jenny Oaks Baker! She is a violin player and Dallin H. Oaks' daughter. I have
that one Disney CD of hers. Anyways there is a performance or something going
on this week and they needed a place to practice. I didn't talk to her. I only
heard her playing and saw the back of her head, but how cool is that?!
Moses 7:26. I read that this week. It made me mad! Satan cannot win.
It was super hot this
week. The past couples of days have cooled down though so it has been nice. It
has been a couple of weeks since I've heard from Katie. Hopefully I'll get a
letter today.
Church was super good
yesterday. I taught young men's.
I have my ear appointment
today. I am so excited! I hope they make it better.
Sister Summer's grandson
goes into the MTC Wednesday. He is going to the Detroit mission so he will be
there in a couple of weeks. Maybe he will replace Elder Law.
I hope you guys have a
wonderful week. You are awesome. Keep up the great work! Love you much!
Elder Alpin
