New Tricks

Check out the new tricks Elder Langston has learned....see, missions give you time to polish up your skills! Another letter from Abe...

"One guy we are teaching, David, is the coolest guy every! He is Mauir and is totally humble. He is a funny father too. His little boy (maybe 4 years old) was playing and started to cry. The dad was like, "shut it!" and then he started to doing it the way Austin Powers says to Dr. Evil to "zip it". He even lifted his shoe and acted like he was gonna throw it at him and then started saying stuff in Mauri. It was SO funny. We were dying laughing. The kid stopped crying! And those kids will be tough because they'll only cry when they're actually hurt and not just for attention.

David goes above and beyond every commitment we leave him. I asked him to read Moroni 10 and he instead read all of Moroni. I asked him to do three questions, and did the whole pamphlet we left him. He wants to be married and baptized on the same day! We are so excited. He also wants to be sealed. It would be so cool to be here when his family goes through the temple.

Other than that, Elder Langston tells us he isn't having trouble waking up on time. That was a worry for him before he left. He said he can get up at 6:30, walk around a little, and then sit and read the scriptures for an hour without falling asleep!! If we all could do that it would be a blessing!
