12/13 email

Momma! :D

haha you love that big fat smiley face! Kapew! I am doing amazing!! And i am frozen, but not yet frozen stiff yet! haha but it is cold as a well diggers knee here though. I can't believe you guys have the high 70's that is insane! But i would love that so much haha. So guess what..... I am staying in Geneva again!! Wooooo HOOOoO :D I am so pumped and excited i can't even explain it to you. And i am staying with elder simmons again which will be way fun, and elder larson is still my zone leader companion so we will just have a blast again here, especially for christmas. It is so funny because earlier last week i was getting worried about the transfers i'm not going to lie. I didn't want to leave and i felt like i was going to. I love this district i am in so much, i love frank and all the other people around here so much, and i love the ward around here so much i just couldn't stand the thought of leaving. No lie, we had our last district meeting for the transfer last friday and i got up haha and i just started crying like a little baby because i didn't want to go and i was telling everyone how much i loved them and how good they have been to me. These last 6 months really have been the most amazing of my life. I know i am missing out on some huge things in the family, and definitely with megan, but still they have been the best. I have made friends out here that will be my buds for the rest of my life and eternity, haha no lie its called the plan of salvation, and it rocks! :P And there have been people i worked with that are doing so great, and seeing thier lives change for the better through the church is amazing. I mean look at this, Chris Jensen is getting the priesthood next week and he wants me to be a part of it. That makes me want to cry thinking about that! And chris is doing so amazing, he keeps going to the youth activites and has made such good buddies in the ward, and he keeps coming to church. We just had family night with his family this week and it was amazing because the spirit was there, and that family was complete. THey are going to be together forever now, and i can't think of anything really in the world that is better than that. Because i know i want to be with you mom forever. I couldn't live without you. You cold tell whenever i was sad or down, and you always made me feel better and you always took care of me. I love you mom. :) And that is why these last 6 months have been the best, because i have been able to be a part of helping some family get what i already have through the gospel. And check this out too. Maria has only missed 1 day of church in the last 3 months because she was sick! How amazing is that? And she was having a really rough time at work because they weren't paying her and she didn't have enough money for food. And guess who came to the rescue to help her. The church did. It is just so amazing to see these people i have spent so much time with still active and pursuing the church. I love it! haha sorry if i was rambling or being emotional but those are just 2 of the things that i've seen here in geneva that made me want to stay. I couldn't leave that. And just last night we met with frank again, and he was crying he was so happy we were staying. i love that man and he is so good to me, how could i have left him especially around christmas?


Ahhhh the Lord is good, with prayer and fasting and if things are right to Him, He will bless you and give you want you want, if its a righteous desire. I love Him so much. :)


Ok so on to other news. Thanks for getting me my meds mom, how do i just get meds my own now? Do i just bring that card to a walgreens and get it there? haha sorry i'm a nub i just don't know this stuff. And i'm glad you guys got the package, open it up today because you are going to love it! haha its amazing. Sorry i didn't send much more, i just didn't have much to spend. And i hope you like what i got you mom, i spent some time on those. :) Oh and yes i love getting to open a present from megan everyday, i feel like the coolest special little boy every morning, i hurry up and shower and get ready and open my presents haha! She sends me anything from candy, to a beanie, to sweats, to a cool xmas book! Its amazing, i love her so much, she is so good to me. :) You asked too what kind of stuff do we do on preparation day, well last week we went to downtown rochester to visit this old memeber who makes some super tasty wings, and then we played some basketball at the church. Haha elder simmons rolled his ankle soooooooo bad. Then today we are just kinda hanging out and going to the mall to see if there is anything we want or to get someone for xmas. Or sometimes we play board games, or just hang out at the mansion with frank. Haha nothing too amazing, but its fun for us. This last week elder larson and i got to spend the night with the president and it was amazing mom. I honestly feel like he is another dad to me. We sat down together and had a chat till like 1 in the morning. :) It was a talk you would have with a dad growing up, and i loved it so much because i haven't had that opprotunity for a long time. I loved it. And then the people who helped write preach my gosepl came to our mission and helped train the zone leaders. it was epic. Well i love you mom and i am glad you guys are going up to utah, i have things worked out for calls. SO don't worry i am happy! Love you guys so much and share this email with everyone, i think i might start blasting this email to drew and joel too. Love you momma keep strong and never get down, you are what got me out here. I love you. :)


Love
Elder Ingram
