Wow, peas! I wonder if they have peas in the Philippines. Happy Birthday, Dad! I was thinking of you on Friday, all the buds are out on the trees and the flowers are growing. It really feels like spring here.
I'm so glad to hear that both Grandma Peck's are doing great. tell them "hi" for me.
hmmm, my capitalization and exclamation point capabilities just vanished. i forgive chris for all computer problems that i thought might not have been the computer. and i still don't know how to open pictures. i apologize, chris.
last night i witnessed my first tie bargaining in the mtc, and there were some awesome ties going around. i also witnessed the offering table, free for all scene. our room got more candy than we'll ever eat, book of mormon pictures for our walls, shampoo, and a lot more that we'll toss back in the pile in a few weeks.
it was a lot of good-bye's this week. on tuesday, we bid farewell to the district ahead of us. there were a lot of amazing missionaries and i learned so much from them. then yesterday, our branch president was released, and that was hard. we all really loved president clark. we are looking forward to recieving our flight plans, sana (hopefully) about thursday this week.
on tuesday, elder l. tom perry came, and spoke about companionships, --it was inspiring. our favorite part about tuesdays is that after the devotional, we meet as a district in our classroom on the 5th floor of the p.p.pratt building and all comment on what we've learned. it really brings us closer as a district.
the best part of the week was the temple dedication yesterday. our district had the opportunity to usher, and as all of those missionaries filed in and filled up the huge auditorium, i was amazed at how quiet it was -- i've never seen that before. it really did feel perfect in there, just like an extension of the temple. the spirit was so strong, especially when in the dedicatory prayer president monson prayed for the missionaries. alam ko na mahal tayo ng diyos. alam ko na gusto niya na maligaya ako. alam ko na mahalaga ang mga pamilya sa diyos, at talagang mahalaga ang pamilya ko sa akin. alam ko na gusto ng diyos na magkaroon tayo buhay na walang hanggang kasama pamilya natin.
i love you all. have a great week -
elder peck
