Family,
Ok I just sent a hand written letter describing this last week. I am very happy that I got your email though because
I really wanted to email you guys too.
I am sorry to hear that Abbi dropped Chinese; it is a really
amazing language! I enjoy speaking it! But you got to do what you got to do! Let me know when Abbi gets asked to Homecoming
and by whom and how. Abbi has as a
pretty hard schedule. I know she can do it she is a smart girl!
Oh the rain! We got caught in a rain storm on our way back
from the Marriot center Tuesday. It was
crazy and fun and then we had a district testimony meeting that was neat.
I am sorry the flowers at the house are dying, because of
lack of water. Does that mean the weeds
die too? Haha
So, our cat Carmen is putting up a fight? Does the other cat
look bad too?
I heard that BYU was losing 10-7. I was super sad. Brother Averret, the 2nd counselor in the
branch presidency, said that it isn't worldly if it is BYU, so I am ok getting
the football scores.
You know how I said I had more times? Well I don't anymore.
Elder Baer and I were just called as Zone Leaders. We both feel the pressure of
handling 7 districts now so we are a little worried about the stress. Our
branch president is confident that our strength as a companionship will be able
to overcome anything as we put our trust in the Lord. We are confident that we
can turn it over to the Lord when we need to.
We were able to really have the spirit with us as we taught
Yan Di Xiong and it was an amazing experience to see him realize there is a God
and that we can talk to him.
I really like that quote from Thomas Edison, that you gave
me, I wrote it down in my quote journal.
So, I sent a big letter home. I hope you guys get it! I have to go! Love
you guys so much!
Love Elder Derek Fletcher
