Hey mom! Thanks for the email
So we went to the temple this week. I totally would have sent pictures but
I forgot my camera. Maybe next week or in two weeks I'll just show you. It was
an amazing experience. That is the fourth time I've gone with Bo and Sister
Pratt on my mission. There has always been other people but they were always
there. They both mean so much to me. Same with the temple. I feel I learn
something new each time. Well obviously I do but it just is amazing to be in
there and feel the influence of the Savior and Heavenly Father. I love the
temple, I can't wait to go when I'm home. But I will go one more time as a
missionary. I will be going with my departing group not this Friday but my last
Friday. I can't wait to be there with all of my buddies. It will be a great end
to an amazing two years.
My mission has been unreal with how many miracles and
spiritual experiences I have had. I couldn't have had those without coming out
here to California. I'm going to miss my mission for the rest of my life and
think about it everyday. It is really interesting because with the time left it
is impossible for me to get any more baptisms. Because investigators have to
come to church three times so it has been interesting turning my
mindset to realizing that I still can do so much for the great people in
California. I hope to find people that will be baptized in the coming weeks and
give them everything I can so they can find the peace I have found. I love this
work. I love bearing my testimony of the truth. That probably is one of my
favorite things about my mission. That when I'm testifying I know the message is
true. That is such a good feeling.
My companion is doing
well and is teaching me by example. He is great and we are having fun. I feel
like I'm always laughing and having a good time. Our area is still pretty slow,
but we picked up a new investigator last night, which was cool. This kid has
gone through a lot of tough things in his life. It will be good for him to grab
hold of the sure and firm Gospel. It will bless him in his life. I'm excited to
teach him a couple more times, then hear from Elder Solomon what his progress is
through letters and emails.
Welp I better go, I love you all and I'm thankful
for you! We will talk to you soon!
Elder Simons
