Hey!!!
I love you too!!!
Yes I enjoyed the brownies! I actually forgot them in the classroom last night but I’ll make sure to take them home today!! I saw your pictures! I’m so glad that you saw Audrey. (We went to Logan to see her last weekend.)
And by the way yes, I do need some things. If you could send me like all of my ties that would be great. I want to trade some, but I only brought my favorite ties so it’s really hard to trade. I have like 25
days left!!! I’m so ready to leave. I love it here but I’m very ready to leave. It’s like prison here. A super happy, spiritual, nice prison! But a prison. And I’m tired of getting sick!!
Our senpai group ( the group above us) is leaving this Monday and then we will be the top dogs around here! We have already been here longer than anyone else this up coming Monday. And this Wednesday we get kohai finally!!! They are the new missionaries coming in. We are pretty dang excited for that. Nelson Choro has been thinking about going home because he has been sick for 32 days now. He doesn’t think he will get any better being here. So that’s really really hard for us. We are just trying to support him. So if you could pray for Elder Nelson that would be great!!
I went to the doctor to see if I had strep... of course I didn’t. But then luckily it went away the next day.
Yes i got Mikki's letter!! I was so glad to hear from her! I’m really glad to hear that she is doing well. (Thank you so much Mikki for writing him! It made his whole week I’m sure!) So this week we had BYU Vocal point come and give us a kind of spiritual singing devotional and it was awesome!! One of them shared from Praise to The Man, "Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of Heaven." and right after that I had an amazing experience. I felt to pray. In my prayer I just offered up every single feeling that I had. I shared with God all of my fears that I have all of my concerns, desires, thankfulness, and immediately I felt an overwhelming sense of peace, as if Christ himself was giving me a hug. I have never ever felt something so strong from the spirit in my life. In that moment every single one of my fears had completely vanished. I know that things will work out how they need to as long as I am obedient and as long as I do the Lord's will, which I am!! I can honestly say that so far in my life, serving the Lord on my mission has been the single hardest thing I have ever done. I leave my loved ones behind and I go do the Lord's work. But in 1 Nephi 2:20 it says " And inasmuch as ye keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be lead to a land of promise, yea even a land which I have prepared, yea a land which is choice above all other lands." I KNOW that there is a place prepared for me as I do this. And I know that we all have a place being prepared for us by the Lord himself. There isn't much greater comfort that I know of than that.
So this week was pretty good, honestly every single day here just blurs completely together with every other day I have had so far. It’s such a weird feeling. Oh also this week I am playing the Joseph Smith Medley in sacrament, and then at Tuesdays devotional, hopefully an apostle will be here, I am auditioning to play it for that devotional as well. In front of like 2500 missionaries!!! And then the next Sunday, I am playing if you could Hie to Kolob with my district singing to it, and Sister Price playing the violin to it. It should be pretty fun!! Every day pretty much I play about 15 minutes of the piano in companion study, so that is really nice. I also bought a small children song book with a spiral spine so I could play where ever there is a piano. Lately I have felt the influence of music more than I ever have before!!! It’s awesome! Singing is Japanese is really easy and really really fun haha I love it.
Well anyway, I have 3 weeks left here, and I’m finally not sick, and I am doing well here! I love you all so much!!
Love,
Draper Choro
