Bom Dia!
This past week was great! I have good news and bad news.. the good
news is that I am completely stoked for that little brother that got his
mission call. I know that his call to serve in the Brazil Sao Paulo South
Mission is inspired. I know also that he will be the best missionary out of all
of the Abel boys.. that is just what happens when you are the youngest, you
learn all the goods. Hence his good looks, his charm, his smile and his
testimony. You have big shoes to feel putting on the Elder Abel nametag on in
Portuguese .. who am I kidding, you have bigger shoes than dad Ü No but seriously,
you will be great. I love you Sky, couldn’t be happier for you. You better be
ready to speak a little Portuguese with me on Skype.. I am gonna be practicing.
I already have a lot to say! It is very similar to the good ole Spanish.
Now onto the bad news.. Our investigator Mathyas will not be
baptized this Saturday. We headed into Saturday ready to teach him the
remaining doctrines and principles and we started the charla by asking him if
he is ready to be baptized on the 16 and he said, "We actually have to
talk about that. I talked to my mom and she said that I can’t be
baptized." I was honestly shocked. He has been coming the church and has
had a change of heart and now he is stuck waiting for his mom to either say yes
or wait until he turns 18 in a year and 3 months! let the countdown begin Ü We decided that we should probably teach a little bit about
staying positive and how we can find strength through Christ. It went good, he
is a strong kid and has a real desire. I know that he will do great things here
as a member or not.
As for the zone, things have been pretty normal this week. It has been a great change. I have never laughed so hard with a
companion.. love him. So yeah, next Tuesday I will be writing due to changes. I
can’t believe that changes are already here.. like what!?
#trunkytime. We are about
to drop under 50 days.. and I was thinking, we should probably focus on the
Skype call first. I mean we do still have another Skype call before I come home. Ü I am so excited, I have a song in mind.. maybe two. Let the countdown
until Mother’s day begin? #27days "I hope that this doesn’t make you
trunky".. one of the classic lines you all say, I love it. Cracks me up every
time. I only am trunky on pday when there is a whole lot of time to think haha
(;
Well, my cute family. I must say, I love you with all my heart!
You make me the happiest missionary ever. This week, I would just like to share
my testimony of this great work. I know that this is the work of our Savior and
that He leads it. I know that we have to share the gospel, it is our duty as
members and you may wonder "why?" It is because the house of Israel
is scattered and as we preach the gospel we are gathering the house of Israel
and making it easier for Christ to come. I know that we can receive spiritual
strength from the Lord’s Atonement to do things that we couldn’t alone. I know
that Christ lives and as we have Him on our lips all the time, we will feel His
love more abundantly in our lives and that is my hope for all of you.. so share
the Gospel.. talk of Christ and I know you will be blessed! I love you!
Elder Taylor Abel.. couldn’t be happier.
Lots of rain lately.. causing some flooding.
Delish lunch!
