HEY HEY HEY!!!
Whats going on?? Ma! You're 26 now! Jeez.. you're getting old ha ha!
:) Happy Birthday :) This week was a really really good one! I cant
believe I'm writing another email ha ha it feels like I shouldn't be
because how fast it goes! I cant believe how many people are getting
their stuff ready and turned in.. I really cant! But I'm soooo excited
for them all! They really will LOVE IT! Its so crazy, the life of a
missionary ha ha. Its nothing like normal, if you call it normal you
aren't thinking straight ha ha there is nothing "Normal" about a mission,
and that's what makes it so incredible. Because if it was "normal" then
it would be another experience that we have in life and it would go on..
I think the greatest thing about it, is that is so different, so hard,
so demanding and so weird... that it makes it truly the greatest thing
that you could possibly do in your life ha ha. I love it. I'm soooo
excited for all of Cars and his buddies to come out and enjoy it sooner
rather than later! Its going to be so rad.
So updates here.... hmm... well we are finally picking up the pace
here! Coming into a new area is really really hard... you don't know
anything and you just NEED to make it better or its your fault... so we
have been working hard and its been tough.. these past couple of weeks
has been a brutal one... BUT we have investigators now! Its starting to
pick up, and I really don't want to leave or change comps... Elder Parker
and I are getting along great, but we are
doing great and our attitudes in lessons flow hard with the Spirit...
Like we are just loud, want to talk, and happy characters ha ha I love
it. We have fun, we laugh hardcore sometimes ha ha! Keep us in your
prayers that we can stay together for at least 1 or 2 more! We are going
to tear it up in these next couple of months I know it.
So 2 really quick experiences that brought my faith and my love for
this work to understanding... so the first one we went to this house..
we knocked and this crazy old Cuban guy came to the door with his shirt
off... he just yelled "u speak espanish?" and we started in... little
did I know that this would be a bible bash where you have not a single
idea of what is going on ha ha... he started in and went off for probably
10 minutes without breathing and we tried to reply back... then his wife
came and she joined in and it was just a mess, we were trying every
single way to leave, but in order to do that we needed time to at least
talk and they were using up so much air that I thought we would
suffocate... anyways... we get to the point where they asked about the
temple and all these random questions, and I have had 2 comps
who whenever people ask questions I usually turn and look to them to
answer... I turned a little to Elder Parker and I realized he was doing
the same to me... I was absolutely blank because this had never happened
to me and really didn't know how to reply... but all of a sudden I was
talking... I was saying words that I really don't think that I have ever
said before ha ha... but the Spirit was like "oh poor guy, I need to help
him, show him some pity" and we got it situated and figured out. We
then got out of there but before we left we prayed and I prayed, during
that time they were like shouting like "amen" or "hallelujah" ha ha it
was crazy weird.. but that was cool just to let the Spirit really help
when it came down to defending the house of our God.
Next experience was similar... but this time we were teaching and
trying to help this less active lady and her unbaptized children
understand the importance of Church... and I don't know what it was but
words were just coming and same with Elder Parker and the Spirit was
there... granted at times it left but at the end during the
testifying... holy cow... I have never felt the Spirit so.. UH...
INDESCRIBABLE... it truly works THROUGH you... its not you one bit...
its Him and the Lord... But I know that the Spirit is our best guide
with EVERYTHING... You don't need to even be a Missionary to have this
blessing in your life.. its an eternal thing. SOO AWESOME.
I want you all to know how much I love you... I miss you.. I care
about each and everyone... BUT, there is nothing more rewarding then
this... nothing. I love you and I can not wait to see where Cars is
going... MANDARIN SPEAKING... I know it ;) ha ha I love you.
"We cant direct the wind, but was can adjust the sails" BE HAPPY. It's up to us.
Forever and Always,
Elder Beyer
