Well hello family! Well this is actually just going to Mom and Dad,
cause those are the only email adresses I have. So please feel free to
foreward this to everyone, and to all those, feel free to write me
emails whenever! I will only be able to respond on Thursdays though.
Well I just got back from the temple and it was amazing as always!
Today has been a very nice change from the normal schedule we will be
following for the next 8 weeks. I feel like I might be repeating myself
a little from my first letter but this is just such and amazing
experience that its just hard to keep it all to myself! I miss you all a
ton, but I am so happy to be serving the Lord. So this morning I had
some time to write a few letters, did laundry, ironed my clothes, ate
lunch, and went to the temple. I also recieved letters from Aunt Danika
and Dad! But I always save them for the evening to see if I reached my
goals for the day first. All of your letters and Dear Elders have been
appreciated! It just puts a pep in your step all day knowing that you
have letters waiting for you at the room. As I have mentioned before my
companion Anziano kasper is awesome. We get along great, and find new
things in common with each other each day.
Now I am just awaiting the arrival of my first package!! That
will be a good day. It was kind of funny today I was thinking about how
Uncle Brent and Aunt Kathy get here on my birthday, and that is also
the day that the new Sorrelle and Anziani get here! Its also funny,
Mom, that one of the older Sorrella (Sister) worked at chick-fil-a with
Cathy Chudlieghs daughter! Im am seeing tons of guys from both Skyline
and Hillcrest in here so that is always nice to see a familiar face. I
also found out that my friend that went to Rome only left a couple of
weeks ago so there is a chance I could serve with him! All the mission
confrences and Devotionals are Amazing! Our first night here all the new
missionaries met in a meeting and we sang "We are now the Lords
missionaries" and it was extremely powerful! It really makes me want to
go to Italy right now and teach those people who are ready for the
Gospel. our group that came in had 28 people going to Italy, and that
is the biggest groups they have had, especially in the past 20 years.
That really tells you that the great Italian people are ready, and that
the temple is generating a ton of excitment! Sorry that I can't write a
ton more because I would love to, but I have about 3 minutes left. I
sent some letters off today so they should be on thier way. I want you
all to know how much I love and miss you all, I wish that you all could
be here experiencing the with me! The atmosphere and spirit here are
like nothing I have ever seen before, it is truly an amazing place. We
had our first "investigator" agree to be baptized yesturday after
teachihng her in Italian since the 2nd day!
Love you all so much,
Anziano Bird Jared Bird
