Holy Cow! My little brothers are huge! Thanks for all the pictures...wow how did you grow so fast, what are you eating? You look so different.....you are still handsome even more so! Good job with track boys! and Dawson sounds like you had a really exciting week. Way to go! I just love you all so much... thanks for being so awesome! Its great hearing about your life...i have been away three months...i hit my record for being away from home since i was in Ecuador for only three months. so i am one sixth of the way done:) when i am home i am not ever going to leave just so you know. i miss you....but dont worry i dont have time time to think about it.
Anyway....
So missionary life has its ups and downs but i have managed to stay positive through it all. The truth is Satan hit us with all he has on Sunday......will just put it at that....Deanna may not be baptised.....or maybe later....and a bunch of other stuff happend all with in a couple hours....i took it pretty hard but then after church and a few tears I asked for a blessing from one of the korean elders and i have felt commpletely fine ever since. I am so grateful for the priesthood! It was actully a really neat experience and i know that the Lord is looking out for me. I feel His love for me so much out here. I am learning so much and i am full of happiness. I am so glad the Lord knows what we need better then we do.
On a more positive note.... we got another baptism date with a wonderful young man named Joe! I don't think I have even told you about him yet because we were not sure how serious he was....but we met with him Saturday and he had read a ton of the book of Mormon and he had tons of questions about baptism! So basically he asked what he needed to do to be baptised! Awesome! He is so great, really humble and in tune. He is 25 and he had a brain tumor so he talks really slow....but he understands well. His father passed away earlier this year and he was excited when we told him that he can see his father again someday. So the date is set with him for the 27th. Reza met with the bishop so he is still progessing..... we have to find out what is going on with Deanna I think it has to do something with her mom who is a baptist and told her she was never going to talk to her agian......yeah satan is terrrible.....but i think it will happen later.
so.....the weather is still awesome here! this is such a beatuful place. We played football, soccer and ultimate frisby today with all the lower mainland missionaries. On pday all i want to do is run around all day because i feel so confined the rest of the week. you know me i like to be moving and a haf hour of dancing at the church in the morning is not cutting it.
well time is almost out! I love you sooooo much! really i do! but i love the Lord and i love serving Him. I am really getting to know Him better out here. I know that this gospel is true and its so great to be able to share it! God is real. Christ is our Savior! Love, Sister Flake
