Enthusiasm Means ‘God in You’

HELLO FAMILY!

How you doing? =)

This week has been pretty good and I've enjoyed it. We kind of had a lull in the work but we worked hard and persevered and it looks like things are going to start picking up. I'm really, really happy about that.

It rained a ton! We had to stay inside one for the most of one day- President's orders. It was flooding and you just could not get to some parts of town. It was crazy. I survived and it looks like that it's going to clear up.

We went to the airplane museum and there were more airplanes than I can count. I tried to take pictures of a few of them but there were far too many. Unfortunately for Elder G, they had many engines (prop and jet alike) displayed. Oftentimes sawed in half so that you could see the inner workings of each one. They had plaques that explained some of the history of the engine. I wanted to stop and look at each which quickly frustrated Elder G. We made it through the engine section and had fun sitting in the cockpits of planes (see first image). It was fun but man was it cramped in there (see second image). I kind of want to learn how to fly planes now though.

Here me is triumphantly with my free bagels (see third image).

Sorry, I don't have much time this week.

Here is a quote from Zach C that he sent me which I found pretty cool.
Float on by faith and hold on 'til Zion,
Jump into the tempest and fight it like lions.
Cleave unto light and cov'nants remember,
Fight! Fight for Israel, for God, and forever!

Love and miss you all!
