Just stopped by to read the emails real quick and give a quick response... I´m lame and forgot my camera cable, so I think I am going to run back here later and try to send you a bunch of awesome pictures from the south of the island!! It was really great getting to Skype you guys!! It ended up not being all that "short" haha But I loved it and it made my week for sure! I look really funny in the pictures btw... It was a wierd camera angle and lighting... but anyways! That sounds like a brutal work schedule for you and dad! I hope it all gets done well without too much being tired! I Love You guys!!
So like I said the other night, I was reading a little bit about church history and what happened with the mobs and everything in Missouri, and it´s amazing to see all the courage that the early saints had, despite so much persecution. It made me think because of all the talks in conference we just had about being courageous and standing up for your beliefs. When you read of what some people went through, it really puts into perspective how important it all is. And we really aren´t in all that much danger, maybe we have to be the only person in a group not doing something, or be teased by some because they say we are outdated, but at least we don´t have pistols in our faced commanding us to deny Christ right?? I love the words of President Monson from I don´t remember when. I know I probably wasn´t listening well on our couch, but I remember Monson saying something like..." Dare to be a Mormon, Dare to stand alone, Dare to have a purpose, And dare to make it known"... So ya!!! No matter what, have a purpose and be proud of what we believe in! I´m proud to be a member of the same church Christ started so long ago returned in it's fullness by the prophet Joseph Smith!!
Hope you guys have a great week!! Love you momma!! Like i said, hopefully I can get you guys lots of pictures later!!!
Love,
Nathan
