It is good, pretty good

Jun 29, 2020

I am really enjoying this area and it is super humbling to be here. Both the members and nonmembers are so kind and are so loving. The other day, we were sawing down the branch of a tree, and this 5 yr old girl rides up in her bike as we are cutting it down and she goes up to me and says," My shoes can go in the water AND land." Needless to say, we are best friends, now. It was kind of sad because she did not know who Jesus Christ was, I hope we can teach her family sometime.

This week was really busy as we had a lot of service and lessons, and that was such a huge blessing. We are grateful to be going around, but unfortunately we missed some things, which was kind of sad, but it was a great opportunity to readjust our focus and move forward.

Sorry if all of this was confusing, but a lot of this week was trying to figure out who people were and getting to know people. It was a fun time and a unique time for Elder Terry and I to bond over little things and become better brethren in Christ.

We had a conversation the other day...

[Preparing to go on a run]

"Hey Elder, are you ready to break some world records?"

"You are funny, I am nowhere close to that"

"But... What if you are MY world..."

HAHAH Anyways, we love to joke around a little bit. 

In Doctrrine and Covenants 130:2 "And that same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there, only it will be coupled with eternal glory, which glory we do not now enjoy." I kind of enjoy how it casually mentions that all of relations, both friendly and family-wise, will be coupled with ETERNAL GLORY. What an exciting thing to look forward to! I cannot wait for that to happen, Heaven will be so fun and I cannot wait to see you all there and just enjoy each other's company. I know it would be because of what the Savior did for us! I know The Atonement of Jesus Christ is real!

I love yall, and I am so sorry it might seem like I am passing way, but that is not a part of my plans, yet! I just thought the scripture is super cool

Sincerely,

Elder Morata! HakunaMorata!

I am super sorry everyone! I Just got my phone today haha. But I am serving in the Washington Tacoma mission! I arrived on June 10! It has been such a blessing! I am serivng in areas called Yelm and McKenna. It is the boonies ! Haha. It is so beautiful. I have never seen so much road and trees in my life, haha jk. But the members are super kind and sweet here. One of the wards gave us cookies on Father's Day! And get this, the weird part is that neither my companion or I are even dads!! Haha. We also had a stake (as in meat) dinner that night! It tasted good. Also, there is a man named James we are teaching, the gospel has literally opened his mind up and he is so humble and kind

I love you all! I apologize if I missed anyone's email. I just got my phone and so if I missed ya these last two weeks, I got you next week! :))

I also Love my dad. Enos 1:1- I am grateful to God for my dad and all he has taught me! :)) Love ya pops
