Hey Mom!
I am NOT warmed up yet lol. It's so cold here! Golly!
Yeah, all four of us that live together are in the same ward. The
Poughkeepsie 1st ward. and yes. We go to the building on Spakenkill Rd
at 9 am. Jeez mom...You're a pretty great stocker. It makes me curious
to how you stocked dad when you liked him lol just messin.
That's awesome about the diners drive in and dives! Hyde Park is in my
area haha. What is the name of the restaurant? I wanna go! It's funny
how when you watch tv and you hear the city name and you're like: "Oh
cool" But then if you have any relation to that city' like me being
here' you're like: "No way! Thats awesome!". I had no clue that this
city of Wappingers Falls existed lol. Such a strange name.
So, Elders have already tried to talk to James Earl Jones. He isin't
interested. That's why i didn't specify on actually wanting to teach
him' haha. I said the exact same thing when my comp told me tho. I was
like: 'Whoa! We should bring him the truth!!" haha
That's awesome that President messaged you! Yeah, he really wanted to
take a picture with us to send to our families. That tie i am wearing
in the picture is extra special now. That is the tie i wore when i
went through the temple the first time and now its the tie i wore when
i met president Morgan! Yes...I Planned for that to happen lol.
OH MAN. That picture of dad easily made my week. I love it! HAHA I
love you guys!!
Yes! I definitely got your package! I loved the card, mom. Thank you
for your support. I ate all the candy haha. It's gone. I am also half
way through all the other snacks...and i've barely shared lol. Only
cause they don't want any. Mom...I'm 230lbs :( I don't know what
happened. So...Much...Food! haha. We are getting me a gym pass at
Planet Fitness. It's only $10 a month and we are gonna go every
morning during the week. So maybe i will lose weight. NO MORE SACKS!
haha. Maybe just not as much.
I haven't found out where we are moving yet :( We are still painting
the apartment.
Okay. So Facebook. I don't have permission to use it yet because i'm
training. But what we do is we create events. And we create it for
Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. And we create a certain topic. Ex:
"How has Jesus Christ blessed you in your life". And then we invite a
lot of our friends to participate in the event at said time. Then, we
invite the members to invite their nonmember friends to the event. So
then when all of us are discussing all of this jesus stuff, the non
members can see and experience. I'm not a huge fan of facebook, so we
will see how this goes for me.
I'm having a pretty rough time mom. I don't know how to explain it but
i went from having great friends who laughed with me and i laughed
with them. The missionaries here just don't do that. They make me feel
like i'm stupid every time i talk. So, instead of being the talkative
crazy Branndin that you all know, i'm really quiet and not as open.
Only cause every time i speak i feel stupid. They are completely
different people than me. It's just hard. Also' we are rebuilding up
this area so we are doing almost NO work. So i feel like a lazy
missionary because we are only teaching about 6-8 lessons a week when
we should be teaching 20plus. I've tried using prayer and everything
but i'm still having a hard time adjusting. Gah! I just miss
everything at home. It was so good there. I'm not planning on coming
home early or anything, i just miss it that's all.
Anyway, enough complaining. I love you so much!! Thank you for
sacrificing your only son to New York. I am trying my best out here. I
hope your back is getting better. And i hope it' safe in good ol
Aurora! Miss you all!
Love,
Elder Branndin Brian Long
