P-Day UNO

Wow i made it to my first P-day. I didn't think this day would ever come. I can't believe its finally here. So a little about my Companion Elder Reeder. He is from Brigham city. He has an older brother and a sister i believe. He is a good kid. So a little about what we do here. So we've got personal, companion, and language study everyday. We also have our 3 hour classroom instruction. This includes learning Spanish and learning how to teach a lesson. Thats a great class. We have Hermano Walker as our teacher and he does an amazing job. Jeff Toone also teaches in the classroom next to mine. Its nice to see him around. Our day also includes a 3 hour block where we teach a fake investigator. Its already hard enough to teach the gospel plainly but to do that in spanish is unreal. Its a great opportunity tough. I feel comfortable bearing testimony and saying prayers in spanish, but the rest is slowly moving along. Im excited for the day when i feel like i can communicate our saviors message effectively in spanish. I work for that day. I will have to say that there is nothing like spending an hour a day immersed in the book of mormon. Im learning so much about the importance of daily scripture study. I've relyed so much on prayer and have recieved answers to my prayers through the scriputures. I challenge all of you to take your scripture study more serious. Its blessed my life and i know it will bless yours. Spencer W. Kimball says, "I find when i get casual in my relationships with divinity and when it seems that no divine ear is listening and no divine voice is speaking that i am far, far way. If i immerse myself in the scriptures the distance narrows and the spirituality returns. I find myself loving more intensely those whom i must love with all my heart and mind and strength, and loving them more." What a wonderful promise for a prophet of the Lord.
Anyways I hope you all are doing good. Mom, dad, seth, sydney, taci, kalli, kade, reagan, jace, and winston(had to put him in there) i love you all so much! Thanks for the prayers. Thanks also for the packages. I love the notes inside from you guys. Dad thanks for your testimony in your letters. I appreciate the encouragement. Mom and sisters thanks for taking care of Angie. She's an amazing girl isnt she. I love her! Mom I love you! Thanks for the sacrafices you and dad have made for me. Dad thanks for your hard work over the past few years. I've learned a lot from you and mom! I love you dad! I couldn't be more greatful for my family and all that you guys do for me! Thanks for everything!

  1. I loved reading this letter. So proud of J-Man! He looks so sharp as a missionary I know he will do great things. Seeing him with Spence made me smile. I was thinking when grandma leaves there will be 3 Brockbank missionaries. So exciting!
