Letter from 4/30/2012

First off, you make me laugh! I am sure the people sitting next to me think that I am crazy.. but what the heck. It's understandable, You are my mother. This week was AMAZING and soooo sad. The Jansens left. They are heading home. But they are COMING BACK in June for another 3 months. I am so excited. I miss them so much. There were really like parents to me. And they loved me as if I was their son. They have been such an amazing example to me. And I only hope to become 1/2 of the man that Elder Jansen is. But they had a great last day that I was able to take a part of. So I believe I told you about Family KartoDirjo. I sent a picture of one of their daughters and I(she was wearing a green shirt). Well after the 5 months that I spent with them, and the 3 1/2 weeks that the new Elders were there they finally got baptized. The 2 daughters. And I was able to be a witness at the baptism. It was AMAZING mama. I have never been happier on my mission. To see these beautiful young women make a covenant with their Heavenly Father, was truly a miracle. I love them both.. And their mother is still waiting to get married and then she will getting baptized too. I loved it mama I was so happy, so thankful, and so truly humbled. This is the Lord's work. And He does things on His time. I know that now. It was truly amazing mama. I just wanted to run and yell. There was so much joy packed up inside me and it was tough to keep it all in. I dont know how to put it in words. But everything is amazing. We have a lot of work to do. And we need to be more diligent, we need to be more obedient, but we are working to progress and do the will of the Father. I love this work mama!! I cant imagine doing anything else. I am so thankful for this opportunity. I would not give it up for anything. But as far as cooking goes. I havent learned anything. I made enchiladas for The Morwads and they loved them. And please tell Janette that I love her and I miss her. She is great. Zr. Weingaarde is amazing. She is one of the best people that I know. I love her.
