Tyson's email 11/13/2007

things here are good. i will find out this monday what will happen with me, being transfered or not, im thinking im gone, but i guess we will find out. this saturday in the planned baptism, but she didnt come to church this last sunday, and she didnt read the chapter we left here and i think its cause her 1st husband is back in town , she has had 2. anyway he is like a pastor at his Baptist/Christian church, and he sure wanted to talk about the bible with us. ha, man o man that guy new his stufff, he was annoying. its kinda crazy to think sometimes that im expected talk with this guy,. who has been studying and preaching for that last 10 or 15 years.. ha. anyway, we did, and we pretty much put him in his place. then i had a talk with susana, and retold her the impotance of joseph smith and the book of mormon, and she told me that she was going to pray about it..then she said something about her husband and his church, and i just stopped her and said, you know what? yeah, he knows alot about the bible, probably more than i do, and he can teach you alot about God, but he cant teach you who God is.. and she kinda looked at me, and i could tell that she was really listening, and then i told her that when i looked deep into that guys eyes, there was something that wasnt there, a complete knowledge that we have, that can only be given through the Holy Ghost. so hopefully she will pray and find out for her self,. i think if everyone would just take the faith they have, use it, put into practice and really expect an answer from God, and then come to chruch and try it, millions would be baptized, but you cant make someone use their faith, you can help em, and show them how to do it. but you can never make them....but yeah things are good, my comps good, he has changed alot for the better, he is starting to figure it out, and is alot more obedient, and close to the Lord, and we are having alot of fun together and teaching alot,..thanks love ya

I'm so glad to hear he's doing so well! I'd forgotten he was old enough to be a missionary. Where does the time go? Wish him a Merry Christmas from us--and one to you and your family as well!

I am so proud of my Ty, I still can't believe that's him talking like that. So mature, so spiritually. I am so proud to be the aunt of such an awesome missionary!
