Hey Yall! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apologies for my absence of a letter last week. I got preoccupied with painting a hotwheels car in the evening and forgot to write. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give a brief synopsis of the week before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-We put a friend on date for baptism!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Walked alot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Made cookies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-watched a bit of the Spain V France soccer (footi) game for youth night<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-scared some chavs on dirt bikes. (Popped out of a bush)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-we’re getting ghosted by all our friends \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-decided to hop on the prisoner diet. (I dont wanna be fat.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had more great lessons with our friend on date for baptism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did some fun service for a member right down our street. (I got to use a jigsaw to cut up pallets for firewood) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had flat inspections, passed with flying colours. The senior missionary couples have a competition for who has the cleanest flat, gets a box of gihradellis brownie mix from Costco. So you already know our beds were dress right dress with them hospital corners \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had a good long talk with my comp about the situation with his girlfriend. I won’t tell, it is his agency if he wishes. Got some stuff figured out and baselines set haha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gave a blessing to a lady in a hotel room. That was new haha<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had some fire meals, 2 cans tuna, 200 grams cottage cheese, and 50 grams rice. With mustard and hot sauce. Banger, and I know bangerz<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sisters made blondie brownies on sunday. Fireee <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On P-day we went to X-Scape. It’s like a mall\/activity centre. There is like bowling, Lazer tag, rock climbing, mini golf, trampoline park, etc. We ended up doing lazer tag. It was fun, got to demolish some little kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worked on some more hotwheels for my friends back home. I build and paint them too look like the derby cars they built and drove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A member in my ward is going to Utah for vacation, so I will send some that I have finished with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than that, things have been great. Doctrine and Covenants is very cool. Here are a couple good ones I have read recently<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctrine and Covenants 122:9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctrine and Covenants 123:17<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am now reading section 128. I need to read through it again. It is full of amazing deep doctrine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love you all! Keep being good people. Don’t let anybody bring you down. God is good, the Gospel is true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Elder Burger (Berky)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
