| Indianapolis Temple |
Hey Fam!
In accordance with the title of this Letter, I only have 99 Days left! Hopefully that helps it make a little bit more sense. Also, I would like to make you aware to the fact that for those who are not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are actually a part of another , Non-Prophet organization...
Well here are a couple stories from the week. The first was on our trip to the Indianapolis temple an back. On the way there, like 30 minutes into the 2 hour trip we had a tire blow out on the members car and luckily it was right next to an off ramp. We threw on her Spare tire, headed off to firestone and luckily the temple had another session after the one we were scheduled for.. We made it up there and it was probably the best temple session I have ever had... it all clicked a lot more this time and I am just beginning to understand a lot of the symbolism and how it applies to everyday situations. Afterwards, we went and got some food and Sister Rowley, who I went to High school with and is now serving in the Indianapolis mission, showed up and we talked for a little while. It was pretty cool to be able to see someone from back home and see how they are enjoying their time as a missionary.
We got a message from our EQ president that Chet was in the ER from falling off a ladder, cutting himself open and then after he got up he slipped on his own blood and fell down the stairs. WE were pretty nervous there for a while but come to find out he is one tough 83 year old and is doing good. We went and visited him yesterday and he is the same old Chet and is as good spirited as ever. He got bruised up pretty badly so like halfway through our lesson he lifts up his right arm, which is pretty much black from bruises, and says "Look I am half black now!" and then put his arm down and continued on talking. He is the funniest guy. I am glad that he is doing alright.
There was a funeral in the ward this week and the members family came and one of them is from Brooklyn and knows Stephen so we talked about that for a little while, small world. Thought I would share that small tid bit.
We went to a Catholic Easter mass on Saturday and it was pretty interesting. I love being able to see so many different faiths and being able to interact with people of those faiths and be able to see the world from different points of view.
On exchanges this week the Missionary that I was with, we I handed out over 40 cards and talked to about 50 people, and it was really awesome! He has been struggling due to his companion situation and so afterwards he told me that he didn’t know that it was that easy to talk to so many people and gave it him a lot of confidence for the situation he is in. It was a fun time.
That was about all that happened this week! I have been learning more and more about faith all the time. Faith is such a simple yet complicated thing. We can learn so much about it and there are always more things that faith applies to in our daily life. True Christ centered faith is such a powerful thing. That is what the world is missing... true Christ centered faith. It would solve more problems than any wars,diplomats or any sort of thing could ever solve. Having faith In Christ, His Atonement and His Resurrection bring so much hope into a dark world. I am grateful for the faith that I have.
I love you all!
Until next week,
Elder Frandsen
