A Few Things...

(taken from his latest email)

One of the hardest things I witness here is the people who are too smart for their own good. They learn by thinking rather than feeling. It's hard because unless they quit, they won't allow the feelings they have to sink in. The thing our church has is the spirit of our Heavenly Father which helps us to remember what was before this life. It shows us truth. When things are talked about that makes sense or are true, we are able to feel that. It's funny when people bring up anti things they read, that is contrary to the church, and when asked, the feelings they have are not peace but confusion. If everyone would just take a second, breathe, and ponder about the truth that is being brought forth, the whole world would be baptized by September.

I am learning about myself. I think it's important to know yourself before trying to teach others. Sometimes they happen simultaneously. More than sometimes.

more things:

-This one is scary. I called myself Elder Church for the first time on my mission. It's always been Bryce. I dropped something in the bathroom the other day and instead of saying, "gosh dang it Bryce!" I replaced it with Elder Church. Who am I?

-There are a ton of frogs here.

-I rode my bike for the first time!

-2 things that I say now that I have never said before: "Sorry ma'am, we don't work here..." and "Sir it's ok you can park your car there. We aren't in fact, cops, you can park here."

-The mission has caused me to retrogress to the peanut butter sandwich. Cucumbers and meat are too expensive.

I love you family! And everyone else who is reading, I love you too.
