October 8th 2008 Favorite Scripture and More

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well mom sorr i forgot to tell what my favorite scripture is las time i e-mailed. the scripture is 1nephi 3:7. Well it's thursday and we usually don't get to e-mail out here in the field untill monday but my new compainion had broken his arm last monday and didn't get to e-mail so we are being allowed to e-mail today. well yesterday was my first day in the field and it just so turns out that my New companion has the same name as my mtc companion. Elder Martin. I thpught that was really funny. and another crazy thing that has been freaking me out is that he doesn't have driving privlages so i have to drive. I was scared out of my mind driving in a car with the steering wheel on the right side of the car and the car on the left side of the road. Also on my first day we taught two lessons. one lesson was to a 9 year old boy named Junior who is going to be babtized soon. His mom is a slightly inactive member of the church who we are also trying to help reactivate her. they are all wonderfull people and Junior is very smart. we taught them about the ten commandments and his uncle Sipho who is a return missionary helped us teach him. After we taught Junior we had an appointment with a girl named Jackie and her boyfriend Tyron who is a less active member but still goes to chruch. It was the first lession that Jackie had had with the missionaries and it went very well. We taught her the restoration and i'm not going to lie, it was hard but i did good. Jackie promised to read and pray about the book of mormn and Joseph smith. She said she will continue to go to church with her boyfriend and that if she has any questions she will ask us on her next visit. So things are going great and thanks for the scriptures mom they should be very helpfull. Tell the youngsters that i have found some cool stuff that they might like and that when i have some cool stuff for everyone i will try and send it to you guys. Tell Dad and everyone that i love them very much and that you guys should work on saying family prayer as often as you can and try and have family home evening every week. And i was wondering if maybe dad could send me some cool scriptures that he likes as well. that would be great. well i've got to go out and preach the word some more so i'll talk later. Much love
