From Elder Jordan


Mi Querida Familia Bloomsqueeks,
                  This week has been one super awesome and special.  We have been finding a lot of people just walking in the street and them comming up to us and contacting us. And also us contacting others, but what I am trying to say is it is amazing the people that have been prepared and want to listen.  I learn more and more about that as I continue on in my mission.  We have contacted super poor people that gather cardboard and sell it for breakfast, and lunch, but are perfectly content because they have a happy family and people to love.  And then there are others with expensive shoes and spikey hair.  That look good but have nothing of real importance.  It really is amazing how God is taking care of all of us at the same time not as a whole but to our individual wants and needs.
  Right now we have an investigator named Fanny, she has come to church 2 times with us and has loved each time.  She always listens intently and clarifies if she does not understand.  She has been reading the Book of Mormon every night, even though it is super difficult for her because her eye sight is bad.  So we bought her a super size one, ( on each page there is only one word that fills the whole page, so to read a paragraph... yeah crazy right.) Ok so its not that big but pretty darn.  She was so happy and continues to read and pray.  We have not confronted her about it yet but I am almost positive that she smokes,  Dad do you know any tricks to help with smoking habits?
  On Saturday we had to wake up at 5:30 to be at the stake center at 7:00 for a special speaker.  We woke up got dressed and left and ended up being the first ones there because our stake center is just like a 10 minute bus ride away.  We got to sit on the second row behind the hermanas.  We were excited to have Elder Corbridge from the 70 walk in.  President Laycock told us he was comming and it is always cool experience to listen to him, but the thing that wasn´t expected was that right behind him Elder Cook walked in, and then my heart started pounding because I was only a few feet away from an apostle.  Before the meeting started he got up and said I would like to meet each one of you and so that is what I will do.  We each got the chance to pass by and shake his hand.  After ward when he spoke he said that he had had a personal interview with each one of us by looking into our eyes and he also said that he was very happy with what he saw.
  When Elder Corbridge spoke he said, today there are more than 8 billion people in the world and today we have the priviledge to be in one the 15 groups in the presence of a prophet.  Through out the whole meeting there was a beautiful and special spirit.  And I can speak for certain that God love each one of us more than we comprehend.
I love you all
Elder ...
