Hello mi familia!

It´s time for another great email from Elder Flint. Well maybe not super great but that´s okay.

I´m glad to hear Ammon´s play went well. Thats great that they are carrying on the tradition and keeping up the good work. Mrs. Dunn is an amazing director and so is Mr. Bills so I´m pretty sure they´ll continue to have success as long as they´re there. The MTC is going great. Nothing new really. Just kinda of learning lots of Spanish and teaching a few investigators. We´ve got baptisimal committments from two of them and are working on the third. We´re hoping to get one from him tonight. (our investigators are also our teachers, so that's kind of interesting). Did you get my letters last week? If you did not, sorry I wrote one to each person in the family. I don't know if I'll do that every time because it's kinda intense writing 11 letters in the time I have on P-Day, but I will add some personal notes to this email. Sorry about jury duty :/

Mom: Thanks for the package, it really makes my day when I get something from you. Everything is going really well. Sorry about Romney, maybe in four years he'll change his mind and run again. But for now, oh well. God has a plan and whatever is supposed to happen will happen. Thanks for being such a great support and example. I love you lots!

Dad: Thanks for all the letters in Spanish. I can actually understand them! And thanks for typing it. That helped :) Thanks for all the support you show and the love. I can feel it all the way over here in Provo. The Spanish is coming, slowly but surely. And soon I'll be talking super fast with a theta. Well at least I hope it's soon. Love you.

     

Skyler: I hope everything is going well with school and all that jazz. Keep preparing for your mission, it's the best thing you can do. Honestly I wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now than on my mission. It's the most important thing I can be doing, and I know that when you go it will be the most important thing you will do. Love you.

Ammon: Congrats on the success with the play! Break a leg tonight too! But not literally, we don't want another leg injury with you :) I hope school is going well. Keep reading the Book of Mormon. A testimony of the Book of Mormon is essential for missionary work and will help you a lot when you get out here in just a little while. I know like it seems forever away but it will come faster than you think. Love you.

Logan: What's up Log? I hope basketball is going well. Keep up the good work. As you continue going on, try to make an effort to pray sincerely. It seems kinda hard but really all you do is talk to Heavenly Father. If you can sincerely talk to him like you would talk to a friend, it will help a lot in your life. Heavenly Father has become my best friend and confidant out here. Whenever I feel alone I can just talk to Him and it all works out. Love you!

Micah: Don't hate it without me! Love life! Life is short, so make the best of it. Have fun, play games, and be nice to your brothers. If they aren't nice to you, be nice to them. Eventually they'll get the picture and be nice to you too. Don't grow up to fast. Enjoy recess while you can. And look on the bright side of life always. If you can do that, you'll be a lot happier. I love you, and I miss you. Stay happy!

Sophie/Savannah: I saw a family sing in a devotional that had to little girls in it. They reminded of you two and I realized in that moment how much I miss you and the rest of the family. It was really hard, and I might have cried a litte, but just know that I love you two and you're not allowed to grow up until I get back :)

 

Well Hopefully that will do for this week. A few more things that I could use. I must have forgoten my umbrella somewhere so if you could find that and get it to me, that would be great. Also the scripture markers we got are all breaking so if you could find Crayola twistable crayons and send them to me that would be great (the erasable kind are very cool and Elder Graham says they work well.) Oh and if you send another treat, make it something salty (like trail mix). I have too much sugaralready with all the cookies you sent and the cupcakes Amaya sent. :) Send my regards to the ward, specifically Bro. Adam Johnson, Bro. Hunsaker, and Bro. Tom? Not sure who the last one was, but the boys that sent me letters. Tell them that I'm having a great time and that they should all go on missions. I'll send you a letter with little notes for each of them today and one big family letter too. 

 Now I just want you all to know that I know that this gospel is true and that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real. I want to thank you all for your examples to me and for making me a better person. For making me the missionary I am and want to continue to become. Tell Chandler congrats for me and that he will be an awesome missionary. And that he should write me or something, what a bum :) Send my regards and congrats to Hayden and Maddy if you see them again. Tell them good work for carrying on the torch. Oh and by the way, I'm studying the characteristics of the Holy Ghost as a being, and the powers and responsibilities the Holy Ghost posses this time through with the Book of Mormon. 

In closing I just want to tell a quick little quote I heard. It was from a man who was Christian in Asia way back in the day and I don't remember exactly how it goes, I think his name was Policarp or something. But anyway the people were going to kill him unless he denied the gospel and in essence he said "Bring on your beasts and bring on you fire. Because you will be the ones to burn in torment for eternity." I just love the 'bring on your beasts' part. That's what I want to say to the devil every day. Bring on you beasts because with the power of God, I can take them! They that be with us are greater than they that be with that loser Satan. Just remember that. I love you all. Keep doing what you're doing and live the gospel and don't be ashamed! It's the greatest blessing in the world! Love you all!
