Hey guys! It was sure awesome to talk to you yesterday! Thanks for all the uplifting words you shared; I'm glad to hear that my family is still doing wonderful. I love you all so much! My joy is full ha ha. I still can't believe how fast that phone call always goes by... oh man.
Oh, Elder Lancaster Joel Brown goes home at the end of this transfer. 3 weeks from Wednesday he will be in Utah. SO weird...! Anyway, he is the man. I am seriously so thankful that not only was I able to be trained by him, but now live with him for his last 2 transfers! It has been so much fun and I've continued to learn a ton from him. He is one of those missionaries that I just look up to in everything. He sure has helped me out a lot on the mission, and I was his only trainee! Kind of cool =]
Grandpa is always watching out for us, calling to check on us, taking us out to eat, and everything. We are seriously considered grandsons to him. Today for Elder Brown's birthday, he surprised us and we all went to eat lunch at Red Lobster. It was so good! Yummy!
Well, the church is definitely true. I'm lovin' it! Serving a mission is the best. I have now been out for 11 months today! Weird... ha ha. Sorry this email is short, but we talked about pretty much everything I can think of on the phone yesterday. Hmm... HEY just one more post-mother's day shout out: I love you Mom! Thanks for all you do for me, our family, and everyone around you! You are truly a wonderful person and lift and radiate light everywhere you go. I can't wait to see you in a year and a month!
Oh, I just remembered one cool experience we had. Remember that "anti" guy that I called up on the phone? Well we went to meet with him to see if anything would come of it, and we actually ended up having an awesome lesson! We asked him first about his faith in God and Jesus Christ and where that came from, and we figured out how he had been worked on by the Spirit in the past. Then the Lord inspired us to relate that to our testimonies, and how he can know if what we were sharing is true. We left him with a copy of the Book of Mormon to read, and so we'll see what comes of it. Probably one of my favorite things to see is the Spirit working on people. It always amazes me!
I love you all! Tty next week =]
love,
Elder Andrew Beckett
