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
