what kind of heart did he have? A BRAVEHEART!!!! July 30, 2012

  Dear Family,
          Especially Daniel... been a while pal. what gives?
 Anyway, life is great down south, were just suuuuper excited to start
august, we are already knee deep in a million little projects. Im
heading up one that should be pretty big next week... man i have alot
to do. Were gonna put three big stands downtown, one for each of the 3
lessons, full of facts and sheets and folletos and everything you can
imagine, i need to assign some peeps to make posters still... its so
hard to focus on so many things, but its like juggling, i just need to
worry on the ball im throwing, and as long as i do it right, it will
take care of itself while i focus on the next thing.
        I hope everyone is loving life. Send Candy! people here love
american candy so i always have to share and then i eat sufficiantly
less than id like to. if you can read this, you are the resistance....

BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
    Love you all.

if wishes were fishes, i would just teach a man to wish. July 23, 2012

Dear Family,
      Its me, the "Bridge Train". thats what people are starting to
call me. probably because i like trains.
 So weve had a good week. kkind of a sad sunday, we only had one
investigator with us, and we literally woke him up and walked him to
church. its so hard to motivate people sometimes, but alot of people
were sick too. i tell ya what, it can get frustrating. but its over
and my eyes are on next sunday now.
        No funny stories are coming to mind, even though were always
laughing. my comp is super into musicals, so hes always singing the
songs i grew up hearing. hes a really good kid, from taylorsville
utah. very mild mannered, meak i guess you could say. but hes pretty
quick and likes to joke around so we get along great. elder thorup is
his name, wants to be a dentist. i cant picture him doing anything
else.
        I taught gospel principles yesterday, on fasting. it was while
i was teaching that i actually started to notice all of the miracles
and special experiences ive been a part of while i was fasting or
because of  a fast. the fact that we have fast and testimony meeting
every month to me is a huge testimony that the Church is inspired. it
is such a powerful way to call down divine help into our lives, while
at the same time opening us up to the blessings of helping others, and
humbling us, and giving us stronger self control each time we fast. i
love it, and it was so easy to teach the lesson that i wanted more
time. its coming up in just a couple weeks, and im excited already now
jaja. The Lord often strengthens us by giving us oppertunities to
teach, ive found that alot, which obviously means im PRETTY dang
strong by now haha.
    So hey, i love you all a ton and i miss the heck out of ya. write me!
       Love Elder BRidge
