That's cool you met Barry and Vernell. There are so many Flakes like that
down here. I plan on giving that picture to Dean today. I was sure to
save the other ones. My ward mission leaders wife's grandma is Dixie
Flake who was in several of those pictures. Crazy! I will probably also
need new shoes. Size 13 if you can please. What do you want for
Christmas? You never told me! My comp is great. We have been working
hard. There are so many great people in Snowflake. We played basketball
this morning at five. That was a lot of fun. I have been asking a lot of
people if they have any pictures or stories from Grandpa. I meet this
one guy name Ray Flake. Except he spelled it different. I will be sure
to send some of those home.
It didn't snow a lot. I enjoy having the truck though. tomorrow I'm
going down to the valley again for a meeting. It feels like I just came
back from one! We had stake conference this weekend and I loved it.
Elder Lasweer of the seventy came and he told us a story of a Navajo man
and a doctor. There was a Navajo man who was sick and went to the
doctor. The doctor said he would help him if he taught him how to dance.
The Navajo said, "I will teach you to dance, but I can't teach you to
hear the music."
He explained that is how many of our members are today. They do the
dance but they don't hear the music. The dance is coming to church,
reading scriptures, FHE etc. The music is the Spirit. That is what I was
doing before my mission. I was doing the dance but I wasn't listening
to the music. The music is on full blast now and I don't plan on turning
it down.
My relationship with God has grown so much on my mission. I would not trade that relationship with anything.
That
is crazy that Josh is on the B-ball team! I told him he should try out!
Just stick with it man! You will be a baller by your senior year.
Spencer is getting the priesthood soon! I can't believe that. One day
our whole family will be able to do baptisms at the temple. That's good
to hear Ryan is doing well. I'm not gonna be homesick if you tell me
don't worry! What is he doing well with. I heard Paul is going to the
Philippines! Crazy! Do you know when he reports?
Just wanted to let you know all is well with Elder Flake in SnowFlake.
Thanks for the letter. I love you and hope you have a great week!
Elder Flake
