Dear Family,
Well, another week has come and gone. All is going pretty much okay here. That is too bad that the basement flooded. I guess it is that time of year again. La verdad, estoy muy agradecido que no estaba allí por eso. Tengo muchas memorias de sacando todas las mueblas, la ropa, y también el la alfombra del sótano. Y después de eso, sacando la agua y limpiando todo. Nunca me gusta haciendo eso, pero ¿como es la vida, no?
The truth is, this week was quite frustrating. My companion and I were at odds for quite a while. He has basically one transfer left until he returns to his house, and he has started to be trunky. Because of this, there has been some contention between us. This is not good, because the scriptures say that contention comes from the Devil (D&C 63:28). What has really helped me this past week is reading the scriptures, and seeing how they apply to my life, and my situation. I was really humbled by what they taught me. 3 Ne.14:1-2 Talks about how I should not judge others, or I will be in danger of being judged myself. Also in verses 3-5 it talks about how I should not look for the sliver in the eye of my neighbor (or my companion) while I have a beam in my own eye. Another scripture that really broke down my pride was Alma 60:23-24. It compares us to cups. It says that I should clean the inside of the vessel first, and the outside will clean its self. In other words, what I learned from the scriptures, is that I should not judge others, but I should start first with correcting, and living my life how Jesus wants.
Well, that is all for this week. I love you all so much, and I hope that you all have a very good week.
Love,
Elder Johnson
p.s. Do you think that you could send me some pictures? of everything?!... well, just the things that are important, like the truck, the horses, the cat, the swinging porch-bench (there is a member in this ward who is a carpenter (can't I take a little pride in my work...), and of course the Family.
