Hey there. What is going on?
Hello again!!! This will be the last email you get from me while I'm on my mission. CRAZZZY! Man, another good week out on the old mission. I had my outgoing interview with President Smart this week. He said, "Man, if this was a business and I could have you stay, I would be asking how much would it take to have you stay." Meaning money-wise, but he said that is not how it works. He told me, "I know you have this work down and you know what you are doing. You are a good example to everyone else and that you have been a good leader." That really answered a prayer of mine, because a lot of the time I feel like I'm not meant for this job and to have your Mission President say that meant a lot. He is a good man. We think a lot alike and he is so cool. We talked about a lot of things and he is 100% called of God and I love him so much. He wants us to come see him when I get home.
Sunday I had to give a talk in Sacrament meeting and that was fun because it was Elder Lindstroms first talk and my last on my mission. The youth speaker didn't show up, so we had to take all of the time. Elder Lindstrom took like 13 minutes, and so that left the rest of the time for me, which was like 25 minutes. They told me I only had to talk for 17 minutes and somehow I talked for over 20 minutes. That was way cool how I got to fill up all of that time and it was so good. I love it when you just feel the Spirit working through you. So many people said goodbye to me and it was crazy to think I have no more Sundays left on my mission. Sad thing!
We got to teach a lot of lessons this week and it was so nice to be able to do that for a change (before he came to the area there wasn't really anything going on as far as the work). I love you all and I will see you soon and I will tell you everything else when I get home. Have a good week and I love you guys.
