Hey family,
So I used up most of my email time today transferring pictures from my
camera card to my flash drive in case the card gets lost. That means I
can send the card this week, but on the other hand I have very little
time to email today, so it'll be kind of short. As long as you get
good pictures I figure you can forgive me. :D {The pictures he refers to are the pictures that are already posted with past blog posts.}
We went to the temple today. It was so nice to sit in the Celestial
room and just put all my worries down for a minute. I think I'm
getting slightly stressed and worrisome again like I was in second
transfer, because I want to grow and do better but it's not coming as
fast as I would like. And we have very few investigators right now.
But I'm trying lately to think more positively, because of something
my mission president said to me. Basically you can look at a glass
half full or half empty, but no matter which viewpoint you take it
still has the same amount of water in it; you can't change it by your
attitude, you only change how you deal with it. Thinking positively is
really hard, but it's better than the alternative, as Dad told me one
time. So I'm looking for the happy points and just trying to do my
best and rely on the Lord.
I got a letter from Jayson today! It was such a great letter. I was
going to write him soon but he beat me to it, which is ok because it
was exactly what I wanted to hear from him. He regretted how distanced
we became before our missions just like I do, and he hopes we can be
as tight as we were then when we get back. It really made my day. And
he sent me a pokemon card for old times' sake, which really made me
laugh out loud. :D
I'm glad Mom's trip went well, and I hope Austin's trip was good too. I'm out of time today, but I'll reply to your emails more specifically next week. I love you!
Elder Matt Dean
