Dear Family,
How are you guys doing? Are you getting these? I’ve sent one
every night so I hope so. Man I miss you guys. Today we taught Sister Cherry Mae…it
went alright I guess. We have gym time at the end of the day though, which
makes up for it.
Earlier, I was having
issues just not clicking with Elder Carver. I started getting down and he
instantly fixed everything. It is so hard. I’m not a huge fan of studying for tatlo
hours (3 hours).
I am so excited for the conference tomorrow; the MTC is a
mess because of it. Lunch and dinners are out of the sack now. Well I love you
guys.
Keeping my shoes on!
Love,
Elder Minson

Dear Family,
Today was a crazy and hard day. We “taught” our first
investigator. It was so hard, the language is easy but I drew a huge blank.
It’s not like the stage where I can hide behind a character. I am trying to
make it that easy though and it’s slowly moving.
These first couple days have been long but are getting
shorter. I met an Elder named Elder Lloyde, he reminds me so much of Joey. He
is like my father figure during free time.
Worst thing I’ve had is I was chosen to say the first prayer
in Illango. I totally froze, it was the most embarrassing thing ever. The
sisters and Brother Spencer(?), our teacher were really kind about it though.
It was a humbling experience for me.
Life is so simple yet complicated here. I wake up, get
ready, at 8am eat, study, lessons, 1pm eat, lessons, teach, study, 6:30 pm eat,
gym, study, then bed. The days are so long, 3 hours in a classroom is a lot.
I am striving to be the best leader I can be. I love you
all. Please let my friends know about
DearElder.com.
Keeping my shoes on!
Love,
Elder Minson

Dear Family,
Well this is my last letter until Thursday. Today was just
amazing. Every meeting was so uplifting and spiritual. I have never felt so
uplifted in my life I learned today that I’m not the only one struggling. My
district bonded today so well that the spirit is going to strive in us to help
one another grow.
The Leadership Conference was fantastic. I did cry, I
couldn’t help it. The choir was amazing. Me and elder Carver are joining this
week. I was fascinated by the Apostles on our Heavenly Father. Their presence
was just so amazing. I love this gospel.
I feel more confident in myself now. I am becoming strong in
the gospel, and the language won’t stop me from that.
I love you all so much! Please keep in touch and get my
friends to send (letters)as well.
I’m keeping my shoes on and so should you!
Love,
Elder Minson
