know where he's going. I'm totally stoked that he has them in =D
We recieved our Itineraries this past week and we'll leave September
3rd. Is that a thursday? And I'm the travel leader for our group. I'm
pretty stoked for that.
A funny thing that happened this last week was that our district was
practicing contacting. This companionship was practicing in front of
the whole district and they indroduce themselves. "Hello I'm Elder
Lorimer and this is my companion..." and Elder Palmer says with the
most perfect imitation ever "I'm Batman!" It was hilarious. I couldn't
stop laughing for the next hour.
Well, I attended the Oquirrh Mountain dedication the past Sunday. I
don't know if they let you see it in San Diego. Is that something you
would like to sew onto my hankerchief? Doesn't matter to me, just as
long as I've been to it.
Well, I wrote down in my notes that I would write about a spiritual
experience that I had here. Sunday night is "Movie Night" where they
have several different movies that you can see. I went and saw the
Joseph Smith Movie which is the same one that they show in Salt Lake
City somewhere. Anyway, at the end of the movie I just felt the spirit
so strong and excellent. I think LDS Movies make it easy for me to
feel the Spirit. Anyway, it made me think of why I (Elder Bird) am
serving a mission. Although it isn't the same as the purpose in Preach
My Gospel, I gotta take steps in order to get there. My desire to
serve a mission is to bring joy and happiness to others and to have
others feel that same Spirit that I felt. It felt really great.
Anyway, that's all that I've written down that happened this last week
for me. It seems like I've been here forever. I can't remember the
outside world very well. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and hope
to write you next week.
