Hola!
It was great talking to you all on Sunday. You all
sound like you are doing pretty well. As far as I know I'm allowed to
call while I'm in the airport, so I will probably be calling you then.
Like you said, it really made a difference hearing your voices. I
am having a hard time thinking of what to say though, because not too much has
happened in that day and a half.
Everything has continued like normal. We had one of
the District Presidents, President Seamons, in our branch on Sunday. He
had some really great insights, and I really enjoyed having that extra guidance
there to help me. One thing that he said that has really stuck in my mind
is that, when you start feeling discouraged and tempted by Satan, just remember
where he lives and tell him to go home. :)
I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but last week we
watched Testaments. I remembered vaguely what it was about, but I don't
think I quite got it as a child. Let me just tell you, it was a very
different experience now. It is a very inspiring story, and if you get
the chance I would give it another watch. It was very worth the time.
Other than that things are about the same here. The
food still isn't as good as dad's, and it has started to repeat. We also
had chicken cordon bleu on Sunday, but it wasn't nearly as good as what you
were having. We have all gotten to that point where the days really seem
to drag on, and we all just want to bid this place a fond adieu. Excuse
me, adios. (Got to get use to this whole Spanish thing.)
So far in the choir we have sang Be Still My Soul, Lead
Kindly Light, More Holiness Give Me, and tonight we are singing Nearer My God
To Thee. It's great to be able to sing again, and very good music at
that. I also got to sing in a quartet in our sacrament meeting on Sunday.
We sang Come Thou Fount, and it went pretty well.
That's all I've got this week, sorry it's so short.
Keep me in the loop. I love you.
Love,
Elder Long
