Well there have been some stuff happening this week... So on this past week we were studying in the classroom and all of a sudden the room started to shake and we were all like what do we do? Is this an earthquake? The second coming? Ahhhhhhhh! So we hid under our desks and waited.... The ground was shaking.. Shaking a lot and I didnt know what to do, one person yelled that we should all get out and run so with the whole building shaking we ran outside... Fire trucks and ambulances had arrived and there was mas chaos......
Then I woke up^^ haha did I scare all of you? I sure hope so and I hope all of you had a wonderful 4th of July! I know I sure did! My district went outside in the morning and said the pledge of allegiance, drew pictures of America and the U.S. flag on the boards, sang patriotic songs and had a blast! I wish we could have shot off some fireworks or something, but the British don't like the 4th of July...I wonder why? Well how was Kathy's house? I hope that was a lot of fun going to the golf course and watching them go off! Well I should tell about a spiritual experience because this week I have been so blessed with feeling the spirit and all the blessings that have come with being a missionary.
But I'll tell of you guys that story later because I want to congratulate Ashley on getting engaged and I am so excited for you... I wish I could be there for the marriage but for some reason I have to stay here... Well I am excited for you Ashley! Then it was Dad's birthday so happy birthday to you! I hope you dont start growing some grey hair or anything^^ hehe silly me! Anyways I wish I could be there for all of these wonderful events going on. I love all of you and miss you all terribly......
This week we got to watch some of the greatest devotionals, my favorite was from Richard G. Scott and how important prayer is. He said, " you cannot rush an effective pray." I thought about that and how true it really is.. Whats the point of saying a quick prayer? Do you say a quick prayer, hoping to get a quick answer? Why do we do it? I would challenge all of you to put more time into our prayers. Think about what we are really grateful for, ask for what we really need, and pray like this phone call to Heavenly Father is the last call or communication you can have with anyone ever again. He is everywhere and can do anything. Without Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father, I would be nothing, but because of Them, I can do anything, even serve this mission. I pour out my mind, my thoughts, my feelings, to Them and I know They live and care for us. I am indebt to Them forever.. Anyways, hopefully all of you can try to have a mighty prayer a week and really communicate with Heavenly Father...
I love you all!
I miss you,
Elder Annen
