SO lets start with sad. Part of District Fiu Left to go out into the mission field! It was such a bitter sweet moment! I didn't realize just how much of a family we actually became! Although I miss those guys it makes me EVEN more excited to just get out there already!! I have learned quite a bit of French language principles this week! Which my companions and I are putting into use! We set a new PVL (Parler Votre Langue) speak your language! We are gonna do our best to use what we know to speak just about all day in french! AGH!! Its not the easiest thing but i've been talking a lot with the Elders going to Tahiti so its coming!
Now onto the the enormous amounts of things that i learn that are spiritual! I just want to start with how much I LOVE!!!!!!! Sundays!!!!!! It's just an all around great day! So we start with branch council which is always good. (but i wish i was doing personal study like my companions) I am able to learn so much from our branch presidency who are all like the MOST LEGIT PEOPLE EVER!!!! Our Branch president is a Professor of Scripture??? I don't know the correct term he teaches Old Testament, New Testament and Book of Mormon at BYU!! He is a genius! The First counselor use to play basketball internationally, The Second counselor use to be a Make-Up artist in the movie industry (on a serious note he's cool with some guy named Robert Redford?? can't recall of the dome.) Then the most legit out of them all is our third counselor...... He is doing international business stuff right but he was the youngest ambassador in the history of the united states and work under 2 presidents!!! P.s. he chills with President Monson on the regular!!
For those who are like who is President Monson? Well Thomas S. Monson is the Big Boss or in other terms he is the current Prophet of God! So for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints thats super cool!
But back to sundays! yeah so after branch council we have church and then lunch and then a temple walk! which is where we just walk to the temple which is like 7 mins aways walking! Then sunday night after dinner and choir practice we have a devotional from someone and then we getting essentially watch talks from the past or churchy films haha! Now these sundays sound pretty normal and chill but I can always see God talking to me so clearly, usually he is like Elder come on lets fix this or asking me to better myself.... Which I love!!! It helps remind me he cares so much about me to take that moment and be like hey! We aren't done yet!
Its the best!
Well Its the end of this letter just about out of time!
Love Elder Stewart-Johnson
