Sister Buckley and I were talking about
how a mission is like spiritual boot camp. Its so true! There is no
better way (in my opinion) to become the kind of person the Lord
wants us to be in such a SHORT amount of time! Of course you have to
be willing to let a mission change you. I could go on and on, but I
will spare everybody. Just know that I love missionary work. I love
the Lord and I love how much I'm learning out here. Tomorrow is my 3
month mark in my mission and it is just flying by! It just keeps
going faster too. I realize today it's been 8 month since I decide to
serve a mission. crazy!
We are teaching a guy named [name withheld]. HE
IS AMAZING!!!!!!! Sister Buckley and I taught him the Plan of
Salvation last week. He is just soaking everything and is scheduled
to be baptized on May 19th. He has been reading the Book of Mormon
and loves it! Each time we meet with him he reads at least six
chapters and remembers everything. When he first started the Book of
Mormon he told us that he really didn't like Lamen and Lemuel. haha!
Brandon is awesome! He has been to church twice now and is well on
his way to being baptized.
Keep Sister Buckley and her family in
your prayers. She goes home in July and is really really not looking
forward to it. If President Taylor let her stay for 2 years she would
totally do it. She is an amazing missionary! We joke around that she
can just come back to OKC and just come teaching with me all the
time. ;)
Mom & Dad, will you send me a
letter (snail mail) with your thoughts on the power each individual
person has to choose who they want to become despite difficult
circumstances in life. Its something sister Buckley and I have been
talking about and I'd love your thoughts on it.
Love, Sister Record
