Heyyyy
It's been 6 weeks since last time I sent one of these. Sorry😂
I have a lot I could say but here's just a rundown
-I am training a new missionary, so for the last 6 weeks I've been able to try to teach and show this missionary, Elder Carlisle, how to be a missionary. And it's been humbling for sure. I've realized that I still have a lot to learn but it's been so cool to see the change in Elder Carlisle since he's been here
-We've got this friend, Freddie, and he's just awesome😂every time we go over it's a new surprise and he's got millions of questions. I'll put a pic of us with him at our Christmas party.
-We've gone caroling with a bunch of missionaries a couple times to bring the Christmas Spirit to people and it's been great! Music is the best
-Now we have transfers on Wednesday so I will no longer be with Elder Carlisle, I'll be in a different area called La Mesa (it means "the table" in Spanish), so we'll see what happens!
As a missionary, I teach people about principles and doctrines that are included in Jesus Christ's gospel. But I've come to realize that these doctrines, the things we have faith in, aren't just doctrines at all, they're actually "facts of eternity." So here are some facts of eternity:
-God is your loving Heavenly Father
-Jesus Christ is His Son and your Savior, Friend, King, and is the only way to go home to Heavenly Father
-You will be resurrected with a perfect body
-Heavenly Father's plan is perfect
-Families can be together forever
There are plenty more but those are some of the most essential eternal facts to know and understand as much as possible. Nothing will change your life more than coming to know these facts of eternity and others that are extremely important. So I know for a fact that Heavenly Father does love you more than anything and that Jesus Christ was born, lived, took your sins upon Himself, died, and was resurrected for YOU!
Oh also, another fact of eternity is that I love you all too! ❤️
Send me some pictures or emails of what you're doing for Christmas! I'd love to hear how you all are doing!
-Elder Howes 🤟
