When I become a Dad
I received packages finally. I don't know why they took so long but I can make guesses. They had a Book, some music, The poem, Oreos, SUNFLOWER SEEDS, and my camera. My camera has no batteries, however, so no pictures yet.
If I transfer it could happen any time in the next 3 weeks, it turns out. If it doesn't happen this week, it won't happen next week, and will the week after that.
Where I'm going no one knows.
I'm excited to hear about Grandma. I hope you guys have fun with her.
I also noticed something. All the stuff that I learn about as a missionary could be applied to parents. In essence, parents are the missionaries to their children. I try to teach people that God loves them; parents teach their children God loves them. I try to teach people to love Christ; parents try to teach their children to love Christ. I try to teach people that that love for Christ, and faith in his power, fear of his judgment, but hope in his mercy, should spur to action, should be the driving force for us to do things, for him. And I try to teach them that, most important, there is no separation of Church and God. This is Christ's church, and none else. If the church asks our investigators, less-actives, and recent converts to act, to do something, to fulfill a responsibility, to repent, to follow the commandments—if the church asks, it is the same as God asking. And parents try to teach their kids the same things.
I think I may hold onto PMG (Preach My Gospel) after my mission. It may help me when I become a dad.
