Dear Mom and Dad,
Wow, you guys had a really full week. Sadly, nothing really new happened. Just being honest here. I can’t remember crap of what happened. I have been really sad the last couple a days, thinking that I haven’t really had any stories yet. But, I think I have a whole lot already. I just need someone to say something that reminds me of them. We´ll see. Like I told Gram, if not this life, then in the life to
come. Then I’ll remember everything perfectly. Excellent. But I’m glad everything is better with illness, hurtness, and sadness. It sounds like it´ll be hard without Kevin, but I know that everything will work out. He’s doing happy up there in heaven. There are missionaries up there, and if he didn’t here, he´ll accept it there. I think so. That’s the Plan of Salvation for ya. Always a way. God is so smart. Just,
wow. I dunno. To think, we can be like him someday. Like, we, being people, me, being imperfect Jace Reber, can someday be like God. I can be a God. Way. Crazy. So cool. I’m so excited.
But yeah, apart from that, thanks for the support. Thanks for the updates with everyone. And thanks for keeping me in your prayers. I have really been able to feel them, and am so grateful that everyone does them for me, too. This week has actually been really excellent. My comp is District Leader, and we have only worked together like 4 days this week, and on a lot of the other ones, we have to go to
different sectors so he can give interviews to the missionaries in our district. It’s kinda hard, but it really makes me have to push myself to know what I need to do and where I need to go. But it’s been good. We get along really well, he is super excellent in the teachings, and he talks so much, so it’s never that awkward silence phase with the investigators. Once I can talk fully, I don’t think that thing will exist, but until then, it’s really nice to have him here. We have slapped some dates on a lot of people, and we´re finally gonna have another baptism this week. Well, we should have two. One is for certain, certain. About time. It’s been 8 weeks. Dry spell. Kinda sucks, but I’m excited, too. So that’s really good. We should have a bunch more this month. I’m hoping for the minimum 5. We´ll see. That would be
really cool. Cool.
Ummm, what else. I can’t really remember much that has happened. Oh yeah, something really cool yet nerve wracking. On Friday, we had a capitacion, don’t know if that’s how it is in English, with President Sloan. After he got done, we all had interviews with him. He took me in first, cuz I was closest. We talked a little bit about if I really wanna be hear, and how I think I’m showing God my works. It went really good, and he asked me at one point something. "Elder Reber, I have
been hearing really good things about you. So I have a question: Do you think you´re ready to be senior comp?" Ummmm. . . . .I didn’t wanna say no, so I said "Well, President, this is how it is. My head says no. But I know that I’ll never be able to unless it happens. Once I’m forced, I know that God won’t let me down, and I’ll be able to do whatever is asked." I’m not ready to be senior comp yet! Scary. But if I am, I’ll just have to do it. I know I can make it. Just gotta put that trust in God. Kinda a cool thing. That means that the Zone Leaders have been saying good things about me, and Evenson, too. I’m glad. They’re all good guys. Fun times we have with them. Last thing as well. Well, this week has been really, really good for my Spanish. I feel like I have jumped a huge level. It may just be because my companion has a really good accent, and it’s not too hard to hear or try to understand, but I’ve been liking it. I think that means that it is still starting to come. We´ll see. I hope so. I just wanna be able to go and talk to someone, and not be worried about if I’ll be able to understand them or not. But yeah, so that’s good. Just gotta keep practicing, and I know that before long, I’ll be able to do
whatever thing is necessary.
Well, that’s about it. Nothin new, really. It’s almost February! That’s pretty crazy. But apart from that, not much. 6 months at the end of this change. How crazy. I dunno. Once a year hits, I think everything will just start to be surreal. We´ll see. I love all of you a ton, and I hope that you have a really good week this week, and get a lot accomplished. Love you.
