Elder May - February Email

This Elder truly loves being a missionary.  His tireless missionary service is second to none and it is such an amazing experience to watch all his service and missionary work from our own home.  We sure love Elder Bryson and are so proud of him.  Enjoy!!

Hello everyone!

Everything is about the same. Save the Family, taking Dayton, just living life as a service missionary.The Gilbert temple was closed the last few weeks so Elder Haws and I took Elder Hayward to the Mesa Temple for the last two weeks and it was still amazing. It's weird how two amazing places have the same Spirit being able to be felt so strongly.Taking Dayton has been such an amazing experience for me. Every time I go, I can feel more and more love for him and I can listen closer to him and communicate more effectively with him and feel his love for me so much stronger every time I go. It truly is a wonderful experience to have. I am forever grateful for Elder Haws and Elder Hayward and their examples to me as well as their unconditional love and their ability to teach so magnificently.

Nothing new is happening at Save the Family. Just moving client files around in their file room so boxes can be moved offsite and they can have more storage space. When I started in there, they couldn't even walk into the file room because there were so many boxes. Now, not only can you walk in there, you have enough room to dance in there if you wanted and there's even empty spaces that they can use!

Things have still been great. I feel like every month, my testimony gets built up a little more. I started reading the Book of Mormon again and so far I am halfway past 2 Nephi and every time I read it, I catch on to something else that I never noticed that makes a ton of sense. The Book of Mormon is like a patriarchal blessing for everyone. It's all the same blessing but each piece is something new and inspiring to everyone that it blesses everyone's lives. I feel like I have gotten better at making my own decisions for me instead of always worrying about everyone else and what they might think. Something I still need to work on is making my daily and weekly schedule and keeping up with doing that as well as keeping up on my journal. I absolutely love my service mission and I know that no matter if it's proselyting or a service mission, it is all equally beneficial. Though this wasn't the path I was expecting, it's all the same to The Lord and it all needs to get done.

Love,
Elder May
