Hey, it was great to hear your voices and talk with all of you. I didn't want to hang up the phone. But you got to do what you got to do.
Well I have been reading in Santiago as I told you all and I am loving it. I am not going to read it for the new year but I will finish soon. I like reading slower and applying it to my life. I was studying for my class last night that was on the spirit and the importance that it has in the conversion. I learned many more things about the spirit. I loved reading in chapter 4 of PMG that talks about how we can recognize the spirit. I had recognized a few but not all of them. As I studied I realized that I have had many of these feeling and have them every single day. I am more a more thankful for the spirit in my life. I have realized that the spirit is everything that we do and that our Father in Heaven has given us this gift so that we can know all things. I love what it says in PMG in chapter 3 lesson 3 about the holy ghost. It says that the holy ghost gives us an idea of what heaven will be like, or something like that. I don’t think I ever would have learned this if I had not come on a mission. That is why I need to get home and get Ian on a mission because he will learn what he would learn in like 10 or 15 years in just 2!!! As we lose ourselves in the service of others we our helping ourselves without even knowing it.
That was weird to think about school. I thought a little bit about it on the bus that day and I have no idea what I want to do. I just want to take some good classes like Mike is about construction and what I need to know to work with Mike. I don’t know dad, do you think that the U has better classes for that or BYU? I don’t know why but I don’t see myself at BYU I don’t know why, but I have not given it enough thought, but I am not going to give it a good “think” until much later.
Well I have to go but have a great week and I love you so much and thank you for your love and prayers. This time is going by way too fast, what I am going to do, when it's over? Cry for sure. haha. I am calling it and apparently when it's all over I am going to talk way fast too. haha. I really was talking faster?? haha. I didn’t notice.
Love you,
Elder Mahas
