Saturday -Discuss missionary work in the spirit world 1 Pet. 3:18-20; 1 Pet. 4:6
Easter Sunday - The empty tomb and Resurrection Matt. 28
Elder Eddy- cool. cant wait to get it. it might take a while because transfers are today and they dont start sending things out until tuesday or wednesday. but its alright. thanks
Elder Eddy's Mom- So I keep hearing of Elder Eddy spottings. It's kind of fun! I hope its not to distracting to you or your companion. But there is a reason the Lord has put you back home. I am sure you will find it
Elder Eddy- seeing people isnt a distraction at all for me. it really focuses me and make me want to work harder with the people around me. did you hear tyler zulauf got to baptize a person into the church?! awesome huh? its amazing to see what people do with their lives and to see how much the lord blesses lives.
Elder Eddy's Mom- Be patient with yourself on the language. It took you a while to learn English..... I am sure spanish will come much quicker!
Elder Eddy- Im not worried about the language. my companion after lessons will look at me and say "wow! elder eddy, your spanish is coming so fast!" so then i tell him "no, whatever i have is from the spirit." haha so yeah. spanish is really fun though.
Elder Eddy's Mom- If you get this message early today, Sister Westover from Norco is here in Idaho Falls and asked if I want to send anything home. So let me know if there is anything you need.
We love you Zac and hope all is going well. Just keep focused and obey the mission rules. We love you much, Love Mom
Elder Eddy-um...i have a few things i can send home...or do you mean home as in norco? im confused which home your talking about.
im doing my best to be focused and obey every rule. sometimes it is really hard though because to obey one, you are required to break another, there are so many. but i remember a talk by someone. rules arent to restrict you, they are to protect you and guide you. he said to also remember the principle behind the rule. that is the important part. it makes me sad that so many things that could help the mission have been banned because they have been abused. for example. facebook would be a great way to share little testimonies of missionaries. but it was abused one too many times, so it is gone for all. (not that we have facebook, that is the only example i could think of on the top of my head). but yeah. i might sound like im unfocused sometimes. but the mission is my life, im not going to let anything take my mind from it. and believe me, there are dozens that could!
anyway. i have written lots so ill let you go now. thanks again for everything! love you all, have a great week. be safe.
