Hello family!
Things are going well here. Not much new. I want on a huge hike today and I am super tired! We climbed to the top of a mountain called La Concha. I have pictures and will send some. But my camera was dying, so the good ones are on another camera. So I´m super jealous of you all going to the temple. Just to let you know. That is one of the things I miss the most (other than people). Have a good time there! And every time you go just remember how privileged you are to have a temple so close! And that you can actually go. So I need some detes from the life of my big college brotha. You´re in an apartment with a few roomates right? Who are they and what are they like? And are you dating any ladies? Detes brotha, detes. I can´t believe AJ gets back next week! That blows my mind. I kinda lost some contact with him for the last little while, I hope he´s doing good. Send me pics so I can see how it´s going. And I want some pics from Ammon´s choir tour. I just want to see what you all are doing in a series of photos. So that is your assignment this week. Each member of the family has to send me a photo that describes what they are doing right now. And I will follow up, I learned that from Elder Ballard (and a thousand other times form Preach My Gospel) So you better do it!
So I don´t have much time, but seeing that it is one of the best chances of the year to share testimony of the Savior, that´s what I want to do right now. You know, I thought I had a pretty strong testimony before the mission, and really I did. But my surety and more than anything my confidence and trust in the Savior and his eternal sacrifice have been strengthened tenfold. I know that He lived and that He lives. I know without a doubt that He actually suffered for every single one of us. I know that He walked this earth just like any one of us, but He lived a life that would save us all. I have felt His love and strength. I have felt His supporting hand and his goodness. I have given my all to Him and have felt everything that I need in return. I trust Him fully, I love Him with all I am, and I´m finally starting to understand what it is He wants us to do when we mess up. His sacrifice is infinite, and I am so grateful that for a sinner and a wretch like me, that He will give fully of His grace and love. It´s a love I´m still trying to understand. But I know that it is real, and I know that as we strive to do the same, to love others like he did, that we will be able to see ourselves and everyone else with His eyes. I testify of Him, and I do so in His name, the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Con amor,
Elder Charlie Flint
