We got to help Rod (who is a non-member, he always calls me the calf roper because I am so tall and lengthy) move some of his cows on Friday, and after we did that we helped him fix some of his fence. It sure did remind me of doing cows and stuff back home. After we helped him we took some pictures just off the hill from where we were helping him.
This Sunday, I think was the most spiritual Sunday that I have had on the mission. It started out as just a normal Sunday, the first ward was Park Meadows. And after sacrament meeting we were invited to go in with the young men and talk to them a little bit about the importance of serving a mission and why we did it. While we were doing it I could definitely feel the spirit in the room. After we were done we watched a couple of videos, one of them was by President Monson that every worthy and able young man should serve a mission. While watching it, I felt a very strong feeling that I am out here doing the right thing at the right time. Right after that video we watched another one about the man that was good enough to play on the all blacks team for rugby, and he decided to serve a mission and he came back and got right back into his life as if nothing had happened, and played on the all blacks team. It made me feel that I wasn't missing anything back home, not just basketball but school, and my family.
I love you guys tons, have a great week!
Love, E. Allred
