Elder Crisp: Week 2 email & Pictures!

About Me:

I am a recent convert of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I've been a member for let's see... "About two whole years now!" I love this Church and everything it stands for! I have gained so much from this Church I can't wait to share the same happiness I have with the people of Angeles, Philippines! I am the only member in my family and at times it is hard to know that my family doesn't believe in the same things that I believe in, but I know that as I serve the Lord diligently and give Him everything I have, my family and I will both be blessed! I believe that everyone, including those who make mistakes, deserve the opportunity to share the same happiness I have. I believe in second chances because if my goal in this life is to become more like Christ, who judged none and forgave all, then I should strive my hardest to love everyone regardless of their flaws. I know that this Church is true and that The Book of Mormon is true scripture restored through the translation of Joseph Smith. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us and blesses us daily and that if we live His commandments and strive every day to be more Christlike that we will live with Him again. I know that Christ lives and that He will come again someday. I love this Church and I leave this with you in the Holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Week 2 email & Pictures!

so this is week 2! I got to go to the temple twice so far....incredible... and today I was informed that I am now the District Leader so I honestly dont know how I feel about that. I am very shocked and a little scared because I dont know what i am doing so yeah... this week we are teaching two "investigators" in the MTC and those are going great! Oh and we finally had burgers!!! and spaghetti and pizza!! I ate salmon pero I drowned it in ketchup haha anyway this week went by alot faster than last week... I feel like I should be coming home soon cause it has felt like it has been so long...oh well I love it and my kasama Elder Abekoon is pretty awesome too! one of the Sri Lankan elders is teaching me wushu! wow hard stuff but most times I play ping pong I am getting pretty good! I feel like Forest Gump! I love it and I got the most incredible blessing I have ever been given from my MTC President the other day and it made me feel so good and I cried it was incredible. I met an Elder from Redlands his name was Elder Sabado and he was awesome but he left with the last batch to his mission so that was pretty sad but I met some cool american guys plus one from new zealand haha last night there was this exit sign that was blinking off and on like a scary movie so we decided to video somebody (Elder Juber) who is awesome by the way but yeah he starts running down the dark hallway like the grudge and people freaked out!! I will try to sent a photo or two of this place and I will hopefully have some new adventurous stories for you next week! Til then! HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!!!
