This is the most legit thing EVER!! I love being a missionary. I am dog tired and going kinda crazy - WORTH IT! I am so happy to be able to help people learn about how they can have better lives.
On Monday, I hurt my leg. We were playing sports and I totally ate it and my ankle got super swollen. I refused to stop working, so now it hurts super bad - WORTH IT!
I gave a talk in church on Sunday. The 2nd Counselor called us up on Friday afternoon and asked if we would speak on Sunday. Short notice. Mine was all about love. In Romans, Paul says that if we can fulfill the commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves, then none of the ten commandments will be an issue. Adultery, murder, theft, covetousness, all stem from hate. If we can develop Christ-like love for others, we can overcome temptation. That was the gist of my talk.
President Castro called this morning, I got all sweaty and started freaking out..."My visa came, my visa came!" Nope. Elder Shields is gonna be a car mechanic in the mission. YES!
I love Cali so much. I don't even want to leave anymore! I had a dream last night that the second coming of the Savior happened while I was a missionary. Elder Shields and I ran around telling everyone "He has come! He has come!" I felt so happy and excited to share the good news with the world!
BRING IT ON OXNARD! I am so pumped now! We even came up with a way to help overcome our exhaustion! We are going to eat better this week! Smoothies, peanut butter, and fish... and pizza rolls... and candy... and cinnamon rolls. Okay, okay just the good things. I really am tired of being tired, so we are gonna do something about it.
All the kids here call me Zuko. The first day I told them that was my name and it stuck. That is gonna be my name when I get home too! Danny Zuko - or Zuko from Last Airbender? Take your pick. Either way, it's legit.
Love you all!
Peace out!
Elder Jamison
