(Elder Slade)
To the best friends and family a person could hope for,
Transfers happened this week! Elder Thompson went to Rigby,
and Elder Nabrotzky came here. He is originally from Provo, but has lived all
over the world. We've been having a blast so far. Elder Nabrotzky wants to be a
personal trainer, so he has planned a exercise program to get us swol by the
end of this transfer. Every time we walk in the study room, we have to do 5
pull ups or 10 push ups, and every time we enter the bathroom, we have to do 10
squats. It's kind of annoying, but hopefully I'll be swol by the end of this.
This week we had some kids we were teaching put fake nails
on us during a lesson, because it kept them quiet. Then after that, they starting
beating up Elder Nabrotzky. It was pretty funny. I'll include a picture. Let me
tell you, it's not always easy being a missionaries. Sometimes the hoard of
little kids will get you.
I've been reading about when Jesus came to the Americas in
the Book of Mormon, and the love that Jesus had was amazing for me to study. He
took everyone, one by one, and let them feel the prints of the nails in His
hands and feet. That would have took incredible patience by itself, but the
symbolism in it reflected a divine love no one else but God has. Christ invites
us individually to use the gift he gave us by dying for us. With dignified
pose, he went through afflictions and pains, for us. He went through so much,
that we can't even comprehend it, but he did it for us, so that we can find
joy. If that isn't love, then I dont know what is.
The title comes from Elder Thompson. He couldn't decide
whether the answer was a milk dud, or an utter failure. Haha!
Love you guys!
