Thanks so much for the updates and email about
everything. I LOVE hearing from all of you. Again, I feel like I have
THE best family in the world becuase i got a package on the second day
and a bunch of emails from all of you! I love you all :) Congrats on the Book of Mormon!! I´m so happy! I´ve started it in Spanish, but we don´t
have much time to read and study for ourselves, it´s all for the
investigators or Spanish, so I´m only at 1 Nephi something. How many
chickens do we have now? I love telling my district all about the
animals, land, draft horses, farm, garden, cows, haystacks, and
everything else. They like to hear about it.
I am keeping all the snacks I brought with me and the ones you sent for as long as possible haha. I have been slowing eating the goldfish and haven´t eaten any of the chocolate yet.
In the Salt Lake airport, a woman came up to us, a group of about 5 missionaries, and gave us all king size candybars for the flight. I love the feeling of being a missionary, and so many people in SLC loved asking where we´re gonig and all about us haha.
After we said goodbye in poky, by the way sorry for the short hugs and not really any words. For those of you who don´t know, when I cry I can´t move my mouth normally so I can´t talk right haha. Anyway, there was a man right in front of me in security who is from Rexburg and is Mormon. He talked to me for a bit and I talked back as best I could. In SLC we met up again and he offered to take me to breakfast. I was thinking McDonalds or something, but he just quietly lead me to the Delta Sky Club and let me hang out there! Free food, hot chocolate, soft couches, everything! Haha it was so nice of him. Then he took a picture of me and sent it to you. I thought you might appreciate that. He was a really nice man.
So, this week....Oh first, be sure to look up the blog thesullivansinspain.blogspot.
Ok, last saturday at the park, I PLACED MY FIRST BOOK OF MORMON!!! I felt so happy! We saw a man in the park and we went to talk to him. He is an inactive Catholic and trying to figure out what religion to do. So we talked to him for about 10 minutes and then gave him the BoM. so great. With out spirits so high, we talked to another man who dragged the convo on for about 20 minutes and we couldn't understand anything. Seriously, that shot down my esteem to smithereens. But it got better. I testified to him that I knew the BoM was true and I shared experiences with him that helped me know it was true. The spirit was so strong, it's hard to see people not accept your message.
Hey dad, could I get my line of authority? It doesn´t have the be the legit thing, but I just want to know the names. Thanks.
Also, I don´t care when, but I would like some pictures of our family. It is nice to be able to show other missionaries your family and stuff. You guys can choose, but I would like the one of all of us kids, and then maybe me with each of the kids and both mom and dad.
And one more thing. Could you make sure my card is international? I just don´t want to buy something without making sure it's fine.
We had lentils for dinner the other day!! Felt like home, except they weren´t as good as dad makes them. Hmmm haha.
Oh Dear Elder works! If you guys want to use that or something, just wanted to let you know.
Did you enter my painting int he fair? I´m anxious to hear about how it does.
Funny story for today haaha. We were in the temple, I just got back from it actually, and when they asked if anyone forgot the name that was given, about 10 elders stood up to have it repeated hahaha. The names here are all Spanish and crazy exotic! Super hard to remember them haha.
Anyways, keep the emails coming! I love hearing about all that's going on.
Good luck with everything! School, tryouts, fair, camp, hike, and everything else.
I love you all so dang much and pray for you everyday :)
Love,
Elder Franson
