hey family dearest,
I am sitting in the mission office with about 10 elders that are leaving
tomorrow. two were my companions and one of them was my trainer... it is
unbelievable seeing these elders that i have served with for so long going home.
i know that the mission ends but what about the missionaries that stay? it's not
the same mission anymore ya know? these missionaries you admired for so long.
missionaries you looked up to going home...? everything is changing. i guess
that's just gunna be life right? growing up, moving in and out.. so many
changes. i guess that's the only thing that is constant- CHANGE!
Thank you for the suggestions and the corrections. i will take a look
probably next week because today is the last day with these elders that are
leaving. i am really going to miss my comps and the friends that i made from
this group that is going home. Elder Noel (who is going to visit you guys!) is a
missionary who really influenced my mission and an elder that i really admired.
he changed my mission. Aside from president, he is the person that most
influenced my mission.
I hope that we can all keep in touch after the mission. so many elders!
Elder Christensen, eide, noel, welling, emerson, martin, longo, etc...
never forget the power of your influence. people will remember you on the
mission (and in life) as someone that made a difference for better or worse.
don't worry about pleasing people so much. sometimes we have the bring the
hammer or work won't get done. even Christ took a whip to clean up His
temple.
I am going to play some basketball today :D wish me luck!
abraço,
-Élder Grondel jr.
PS- Lexi, stop dating losers. make a rule for yourself- first date = no
kisses. i have a couple of missionaries that could help you with a paradigm
shift. ok???
aMO VOCêS!
