Doldrums

JAMBA LOA!

I have been trying to focus on developing Christ-like love this week. It is hard for me to understand how he loves all of us, even the pompous ones, but then it helps me to reflect on myself. How can he love me? I don't deserve his love, but he gives it freely. I really want to learn how to do that.
I love you guys so much. I have the coolest family ever. You all make me so proud. You're cool. You go to concerts all the time, and you stick together. I hope my family can be as cool as you guys. I know that Heavenly Father is proud of you too. You really are all foreordained for greatness. We are so lucky. We were born into the one true church of God on the earth. Faith comes like a second nature to us. We have always known who we are, where we are going, and what we need to do to be happy. Never forget that. I love you all so much.
This week was kind of crappy - not that it was super bad, but it was really stale. I need to find a way to get a pro investigator. No one has progressed past lesson one. I don't know what I am doing wrong but I am trying to find the issue and eliminate it. I really do love this work and these people.
Brother Bendixen told me about how dad tried to sell him his bike. That was super funny. I told him that it would be sold soon anyway. Michael will have it someday. I can feel it. OH!!!
I met a kid who is just like Michael!!! You have seen pictures of him already. His name is Jaden Sola. He is the boy at the baptism I had. He looks a little like Michael and he acts like him too! Yesterday he told me about his pig. He has been raising a pig to sell at a fair. He bought it for like $300 and sold it at $1,900!! HE IS ONLY 9!! He says he is going to use the money to buy a steer and raise it for 5 years and sell it at $15,000! He will have mission and school paid for before he is 16! This kid is driven. That is why he reminds me of Michael (the entrepreneur).
I love you all so much and can't wait to see how much you all grow and progress!

Love
Elder Jamison
