February 8, 2016 Josh Mission Update

Justin: 
Chin up! :-) love you Josh...Dad.
Thinking of you.

Joshua:

Dad I love you so much i feel so bad i didn't even know it was moms bday. i have been working so hard its so dangerous here haha all i want is to baptize every week. Were you ever in a leader position in the mission? I use that little booklet you gave me the 17 points the 23 questions and that little black book by elder ricks o algo asi because of that we are baptizing a Jehovah witness and a pastor because i convinced them about the faults in there thinking haha. you need to do family home evening and family search as a family more read Malachi 21 5-6 one of our investigators died of cancer the day we went to visit here me and our comp were crying our president called because somehow he knew and told us to give blessings one to another our other 15 year old whose parents died moved to live with another uncle the day before his baptisms. tell zach to baptise that guy who works in our house and paints and stuff and is in charge of the other workers i realize now what an easy baptism people like him are watch for zach this time in his life his hard we know that haha
i love you guys so much dad thank you so much for this opportunity to serve my master with all my heart might mind and soul. read dc 67




Joshua:

 love you so much mom!
 
 
Justin:
 
The other thing you may want to do so you are not in such a rush at the internet cafe is write your letter home each week in your journal too, and take a picture of it and send it when you get to the cafe?  Do you have capability to do that?
 
Are we sending you enough money?  Read Jacob and let me know more about your situation.
Are your zone leaders from US or Mexico?
Yes, I was a Zone leader for about 6 months and I was Assistant to the President for 4 months.  1 month Junior and 3 months senior.  It was during a crazy time of the mission.  There was lot’s of anti-mormonism going on in San Diego because the San Diego Temple was being constructed and we switched from one Mission president to another and they were very different personalities :-)  It was a great blessing to me.
Regan also served as an Assistant in his Oregon mission.  He was an incredible missionary.   I know Jacob served as a zone leader.  He was probably the best missionary out of all of us.  He probably did not need the leadership experience :-)   Sabe is a great leader and has probably been the most influential missionary out of all of us because of his personality.  Before and after his mission too.
 
Joshua:
dang you guys were all studs! 

Tell me how to be obedient.
Okay and that is a great idea i will do that to email you guys instead haha but how were you obedient!


do my emails even make sense i have no time right now haha - i dont even know how im awake
