Week 4 March

So, to start off, I am sort of confused, I only forgot to write one week, I thought that you got all of them. oh well I am repenting and writing again.
I did recive the package, and thank you, I really appreated the treats!! I gave one to one of the couples and they where asking how they survived? I have no Idea, but I was so excited that I froze them and only eat one like every other day. its so great. THANK YOU FOR THE CHOCLATE!!!
okay so now I am curious, what movies have they been previewing, I just want to know, I have been curious to what cool movies I have been missing.
So now that you say something about the temple, That is really awsome, It brings some more sence to what is there, I really like the Idea.
Okay so I have been thinking about some things latley, maybe you can answer some of this for me. so why does everything start and end with abraham, now I am going to do some more studying, but I would like to know what is up with that.
Hey Paul is comming to Indai??? THAT IS AWSOME!!! I am so excited to see him!! maybe we could serve together. Man I am so Excited to hear that.
Well i am sorry its cold there, it has been almost excrusiatingly hot, I never put on sunscreen, but yesterday I really needed it, I kind of got burned, but not badly, so from today onwards I am putting on sunscreen, espically because of how hot it gets here, 45 degrees Celcius, ya thats hot.
so it was pretty cool, the other day, I was out prosyliting and looked up at the sky and the clouds in the north where really dark, so I said to one of the native elders, " man that looks like its going to rain pretty hard." he looked at me and said " no its not, sometimes it looks like that, but it never rains." well he kind of ate his words, about 10 minues later, we where on our way to an appointment, and I looked up at the sky, and all of a sudden this drop about the size of a 50 cent peice hit my leg. and then I stopped and put all of my stuff in a plastic bag, and told my companion to do the same, well then as he was putting his stuff in his bag, it just started to pour, not just like rain at home, but it was in sheets, and the drops where huge, well we had an appointment, and I started to walk out into it and this guy grabs my arm and says "sir dont go out, its raining, youll get wet" I just looked at him and laughed and said " Brother, I know..." and walked out into it. and I was completly soaked in about thirty seconds, it was awsome!! I wish I had pictures. well any way it was great my companion walked out and said "are you nuts? its raining" and I just said
"well we have an appointment, and the rain isnt going to hurt you, is it?"
he looked at me and said " okay" so we rode for about 20 minuets in the absulutly beautiful rain. our appointment buncked, and we went out finding, but no one was in the roads, it was some one rolled up the streets in new york city, but the whole city. ya it was way cool.
well to answer your question, no I dont have to boil the water, for dirinking or brushing, I just brush, no big deal, the curry's I eat kill any kind of bugs that I could possibly get, and then to top it off, I dont drink anyting but botteled water.
so I have this family that I found about 3 weeks ago, and we have now set the sons with a baptizem date, and are trying to teach the parents about baptizem and how the parents, even though they where baptized in a differnt church, need to be baptized in the true church. well we decided to teach the restoration again, and as we where teaching the restoration, we hadent even talked about baptizem at all, and the youngest son says "brother, what about me, I want to be baptized in the TRUE church, can I be baptized?" and I looked at him and said " OF course you can, as long as its okay with your parents then yes you can, you have the desire, so yes" well to be short both of the sons are going to be baptized on april 5th. I am so freaking excited. I know that the True authoity was given back to Gods children through Joseph smith, I know that this church is true and that the Priesthood keys are back in the hands of the prophets, and that the things that the ordinences that are done on this earth are important to our salvation, I know that if you are truly keeping the commmandments of god and reading your scriptures, it brings you true happiness, and I know that if you put your trust in god, that you he will bring you the things that you need, in his time, but it will happen. I know that Jesus Christ is the ONLY begotten son of Heavenly Father, and that he did atone for our sins, and that if you remember the covenents that you have made in baptizem, and in the temple (for those who it pertains to) that you will be truly happy, and that the lord trully love each and every one of us.

I love you all, and I will see you all next week.
Love ELder Colton Frederick
