Dear forever family,
I'm so happy to hear
that you are ponderizing the scriptures. As a mission, we have a ponderizing
scripture once a week. This week ours is 2 Nephi 9:23. It goes along with
our goal of baptizing 40 people this month. This week, we found a new
investigator. Her name is “C”. She is 10 years old and she's really shy. She is
“L P”'s sister. We've been teaching “L P” for a couple weeks now. She is 15
years old and she's been to church a few times. She is a really smart girl. She
has lots of friends from school that are in our ward. She agreed to be
baptized. Her date was November 21st but we'll have to push it back
because we haven't taught the Word of Wisdom yet. We committed “C”n for baptism
on December 19. It was funny. “L” said, "If I have to get dunked,
you're going down with me."
I love you all so
much. Dad, thank you for sharing what you learned in Priesthood. I'd actually
love to hear some mission stories from you and mom so I can learn what sort of
things you experienced as well. I haven't been as diligent at keeping a
journal, but I've been spending some of my free time writing poems and drawing.
I bought blank sheet music so I can write songs on the piano. Elder Samuels and
I love to play music together. He's phenomenal at the guitar. Thank you mom for
putting money on my card.

Mom, it's exciting
that you're getting your endorsement to teach ESL. It's funny because that's
actually one of the suggestions in our daily planner for finding people to
teach. It's one of those things that's hard to advertise and organize. I don't
even know where I'd begin.
Jessica, I'm so
excited for you and your externship at the Pharmacy. How did you decide that's
what you wanted to do?
I can't wait to hear
from you next week.
Love,
Elder Herbert
