SNOW STORM MARCH 28/ 09

We woke up Saturday morning to over a foot of snow. Gizmo had trouble finding a place to go in the least amount of snow. Sunday brought another foot of snow so Del went out with the Quad and made a path for her to go and do her job. We had to take Delbert's nephew out to his house Sunday evening as he was staying with his dad for the weekend and the road going out to Del's parents house was a very tense ride. I am positive that it will be a snow day for all bus students tomorrow as the grader's haven't been out yet.

Brett's Letter March 9, 2009

hey well i think that this letter is going to be pretty short because the only thing that i can think of, to write, is an experience that i had this week. well first off mom, the girl had her baby and it is a girl and she says thanks for the blanket. well i cant remember what day is was but we were having a pretty bad day. all of our appointments fell through except for a couple. we had an appointment with two girls called mercedez and carmen. this was the second time that we had gone to their house. we planned to teach the book of mormon and a little bit if lesson 2 if we had time. well we started off with a prayer and everything was going good. they didn´t have any questions about joseph smith or anything like that, so we started to talk about lesson 2 because they had questions about it. we taught the whole thing and then went back to the book of mormon. at this point i thought that everything was going good until they told me that they only believed in the bible and nothing else. i pulled out some scriptures in 2 nephi that talk about the bible, but i could feel something telling me to stop before it gets into and argument. so i stopped and my companion started to give his testimony. when he finished i still felt prompted to leave the book of mormon. they told me no, and i told them that i dont care if you dont want it, but there will be one day in your life that you will want to know what it says and will want to read it. so if you decide to put it under your couch, or behind your house i dont really care. i kept trying to get them except the book, and then i felt something that i will never forget. i started to cry, and my companion said the prayer and we left. the reason that i started to cry is because i felt what it feels like when our savior sees his brothers and sisters fall away from his path. i felt what is feels like when a parents see their children doing things that they shouldn´t be doing, or not making the right choices. I WAS CRYING FOR MY SAVIOR, AND MY FATHER IN HEAVEN. thank you mom, dad and family for all that you have done for me. for helping me get on my mission, for teaching me what i should and shouldn´t do. thank you for everything and forgive me for all the bad things that i have done. i try harder and harder everday to better my life and follow my savior. thanks for everything. elder beazer

Brett's Letter Mar. 2/09

¿hey how are things? well mom i got your packages and the blanket is delivered and everything. we had two more baptisms this week. one was on my birthday and the other was on the 27th. i really didn´t do anything to exciting for my birthday other than the baptism. thanks so much for sending more Spitz and for sending those books. i have been reading the teachings of Joseph smith and i have learned a lot. something that has helped me realize how important it is to serve missions to the fullest is one he says some have been ordained to the ministry, and have never acted in that capacity, or magnified their calling at all. he goes on the say that when we are ordained we must be faithful, and be able to teach by the spirit. called, and chosen, and faithful. this has caused me to think a lot about how great of an opportunity it is to serve the lord. there is a promise that i love a lot and it is from our savior and he says that all who are apart of this work we need to put our trust in him, and if we do HE WILL NOT FAIL US! this is his work. its needs to be done by all that have a testimony of him. if we don't express our testimony it basically shows that we don't have one. this is why our prophets have said many times that every member is a missionary. we always have an opportunity to share the gospel every day, but are we taking advantage of those opportunities. i try hard everyday to do what the lord would have me do and to teach by the spirit. the spirit is everything. if we follow the promptings of the spirit we will not be led astray. awake to righteousness, and sin not; let your light shine, and show yourselves workmen that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. apply yourselves diligently to study, that your minds may be stored with all necessary information. we need to study with all diligence because the prophet Joseph smith taught that we cannot enter into the rest of our father if we don't know anything about how to get there or what it will be like we cannot receive it. we have all made our first covenant with our lord. our baptism. study about baptism and about all those other covenants we have made. study about the sacrament and what we need to do to receive the blessing of it. i know that Joseph smith was a prophet of god and that god revealed the truth to him. i know that when we partake of the sacrament our sins are washed away if we repent and are obeying the commandments of god, we will have his spirit to be with us always if we are worthy. I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve and share this great joy with my brothers and sisters. i know that my testimony is true, i have no doubt. thanks for everything. i want to leave with a quote from our prophet. we remain your brethren in Christ, anxiously praying for the day of redemption to come, when iniquity shall be swept from the earth, and everlasting righteousness brought in. farewell. elder beazer
