I am so out of shape from doing hardly any physical activity. I have also seen 159 on a scale!!!! Since the 1st of May i have put on 15 pounds! No me gusta. But I guess that is what happens when you go from playing basketball 4 days a week to sitting down for 10 or so hours a day. But pretty soon I will be up and walking around so I'm not to worried.
So how is life in Denver with everyone? It sounds like you all are having a blast playing with everyone and enjoy Eli. That is so cool that so many people will be at his blessing on Sunday!!! And make sure to tell Christie and John congrats!!!!!!
Ryan and Erin, it sounds like Kherington is keeping you both super busy. I can't wait to see what she is like when she is 3. Give her a big ol hug from her favorite uncle!!!! And it sounds like Belgium is treating you well. Have you been on any adventures lately??
Okay, well you are all probably wondering about my visa. WELL...I AM LEAVING THE MTC.....................Just kidding!!!! We got a letter in the mail last thursday saying that we had not recieved our visas and that we will be staying in the MTC until they come. So who knows when that is going to happen. But i do know that when we do get our visas, we will have to go up to SLC to sign for our visas and then we will leave 10-14 days after that. So I will be here for probably at least another 2 weeks. But in these past week I have really learned a lot and I really feel that my spainsh is coming along, so I'm okay with staying. But I am also ready to leave and get out doing the work and working hard.
Well my spanish has really been coming along this week. I have just been reading the BOM in spanish A TON and that has helped me the most since I have been here. There is great power in reading the BOM in the language you want to learn. I don't know what it is, but I has definately been the thing that has helped me the most to learn the language. So Mom, keep up the reading and by the time I get home we will be able to talk to each other in spanish. Dad and Cory, do the same! Dad It will help to bring back the spanish that you used to know and Cory, it'll help you in your spanish class and understanding. There is so much power in reading the BOM.
Thanks for all your dear elders this week. There were so many days where what you all said was an answer to my prayers. It is amazing how the Lord looks out for you and really knows how to help you. It is also amazing to see that as I am praying with more faith and more sincerity that I recognize and see the Lord's hand in my life more. The little things have become more noticable and the Lord is truly blessing me in every aspect of my life.
This week has been pretty hard for our district. We had two elders go home this past week. One for medical reason and the other for something else. It has been pretty hard to see our district get so small. Since the beginning, we have dropped down to 7 elders. We started with 11. 2 went to Peru and then the other 2 had to leave. But on the bright side, they both should be able to return here in the next little while.
So this week we have been talking a lot about finding joy in the journey. We read a talk by Pres Monson called "Finding JOy in the JOurney" ( i think) but it talked about how there is never anything so constant as change. Moving around has definately helped me with all the change that has been happening. From my district to my visa, everything is chagning. I am really starting to see the importance of what you write me mom, "Remember to enjoy the journey". That is somethin i definately need to do a better job at. It like life, sometimes we can get just too caught up in the moment and we forget to enjoy the journey.
BUt I am enjoying the journey of my visa. It has taken a lot of unexpected twists, but the blessings that come from enduring well are never ending. I know the Lord knows me and what is happening and there is obviously a reason for it all. My faith is strong and I love being out here learing and serving.
Thanks for all the prayers, thoughts, and letters. They are tender mercies in my life. Have fun at the wedding and blessing this weekend. Its like another mini family reunion. I love you all and keep writing!!!!!
Con amor,
Elder Glover
