Yay, Halloween is over!! You know
what that means?? Christmas music! Nah, just kiddin’ but it is kind of funny
seeing all of the stores change their decorations as soon as they can. I can
only imagine what you're thinking Mom, or Christa. I remember how you thought
it was blasphemia if you even thought of Christmas before Thanksgiving. It's
just that it's soooo great!!!
This week we were able to have the
baptism of A. and it was really great. She talked a little bit after she
was baptized and she talked about how it was indescribable how clean she felt.
She is a really great lady and I'm excited to see what we can do for her
husband now. Grandma Jaussi, you will be excited and happy to know that we
talked to her about her Family History yesterday and we have already got her
started on that. Now she is going to enter into the class so that she can find
family names for when the ward goes to the temple at the beginning of December.
Unfortunately we can't go to that but maybe President Garcia will change that
rule seeing as his brother is the new temple president here. He and his wife
just arrived on Monday night.
Elder Johnson came this week
and he said some really awesome things. We had a zone meeting with him on Friday
and then on Saturday he had a meeting with all of the zone leaders and sister
trainers which was really sweet!. Elder Johnson started out studying 1
Nefi 8 with us and told us that the dream that Lehi had was "transcendental,
y fundamental." He says that it clearly describes for us what we all need
to do to find ourselves clean at the last day. I thought that I had studied all
you could from that chapter but he sure proved me wrong.
Elder Johnson then went on for a
very long time describing the importance of diligent and consistent study of
the scriptures. He told of countless missionaries who go inactive because they
stop doing the things that they said "they HAD to do in their
mission." He mentioned that the biggest thing was their scripture study.
He made
sure that we understood that any ex-missionary that comes home and stops
reading his scriptures EVERY DAY will have problems, and even included bishops,
stake presidents, and mission presidents.
Well, el fin se acerca y hay poco
tiempo mis amigos! (The end is drawing
near and there is little time, my friends.) Sorry that I just gave you only
things that Elder Johnson told us. Just know that I hope you're all reading
your copies of the Book of Mormon and that you're really meditating and
"deleitando" (delighting) on
the things that are written there. If you're not, please do!! I speak to you as Lehi spoke to
Laman and Lemuel at the end of chapter 8, "with all the feeling of a
tender parent." READ PLEASE MY DEARS!!!
I am pretty much done in the offices
but every once and awhile I go in to help Elder H. Don't worry, I am going
to try and get a picture with all of my friends in Immigration. We're working with two
really cool families right now.
Con amor,
Elder Taylor Christian Jaussi
Sea feliz, sea Mormón!
Elder Jaussi saw his former companion, Elder C. They served together in Escarsega.
Elder Jaussi sports Minnie Mouse ears, the Halloween costume of little J.
Elder Jaussi put on his angry eyes when his companion handed him a "Raider's" mug and snapped a picture. The Raiders are the arch rivals of his Denver Broncos. :)
