April 3, 2017

Hello All,

I really can’t thank my family and friends enough. I’m doing good here, but obviously I miss everyone. More than anything I am grateful for all the amazing people that I have had in my life. We get to know a lot of different people here and sometimes their lives were or are really hard. I will never be ungrateful for the amazing friends and family that are around me. I truly have been blessed with amazing parents.

This week was an interesting week...

I had been dealing with an ingrown toenail for quite some time and well after shoving cotton in it, it didn’t really get better or grow out so we went to the doctor’s office and they told me that they had to do a mini surgery. And I was like “What??” haha.  Buuut we went in for the mini surgery and it went well. They made a pretty big deal out of it, although it was just my toe. He chopped off part of the nail and it was a big chunk of nail that was also hidden in the skin. Grateful that everything went well. It’s just healing right now.

He told me that I could walk and I would be fine. I’m just a little slow. Haha.  Making sure it heals all the way.

My favorite conference talks were Mark A Bragg, with the light that we have. Also Russell M Ballard’s talk was a huge answer to my question and some of the doubts that I have in the mission.  

We have an investigator that should be baptized this week. His name is Gustavo. He’s a young boy and he’s pretty excited about his baptism!

I’m really grateful to be with Elder Told. He’s pretty awesome and we are having fun and trying to make the most out of every day. I have felt that my excitement is there, and that we just try to smile through all the things that happen.

We have been contacting and looking for ways to look for new people and I have seen that every time that there is just a horrible contact that makes us wanna quit, there is always, ALWAYS someone close that we need to find. We saw this a lot that when someone rejected us, the next house or the next person was a lot more receptive. This is a lesson for life. We will have a lot of trying times and times that are gonna want to make us quit but if we just hold on a little more, Heavenly Father is always ready to bless us.

That’s about it.

Love you all!

Elder Wolf

This is a picture I drew because when we were watching conference I saw the three-handed organist and it made me laugh and made me think of you guys! (Jacob's siblings always see the two people playing the organ at conference and call them the 3- or 4-handed organist)

This is a picture of Elder Told and I watching the Saturday session of conference.

Well, I had an ingrown toenail taken out and I guess they made it like a big deal and a whole surgery...haha.  So they gave me the hospital clothes which I think were meant for a seven-year-old and they brought the whole surgery table out. The truth is I’m fine and all but I just thought it was funny that they made me do all of that for my toe.
