I missed a week. But here is the update on Austin. He is determined to serve the Lord. Times can be tough out there. He said "I will stay and serve the Lord with all my heart might mind and strength! D&C 4) I couldn't be more proud of him.
He did not feel the explosion of the fertilizer plant in West, Texas. He is hoping this will give them the opportunity to teach the Plan of Salvation. He is studying hard. He is enjoying JESUS THE CHRIST. He is learning about life.
"As we rely on the atonement of Jesus Christ, He can help us endure our trials, sicknesses, and pain. We can be filled with joy, peace, and consolation. All that is unfair about life can be made right through the atonement of Jesus Christ"
He misses us like crazy, but he also knows he is there to serve the Lord. He mentioned the movie Gladiator. In the end of the movie Maximus's friend said I will see you again, but not yet. Thats how he feels about his family. Jeff knows the ending, but it looks as if I will be watching at least the end of Gladiator.
His last remarks:
THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!! I LOVE YOU ALL.
I now have one more week to wait for another letter. I treasure these letters and read them often. Sometimes I miss my son so much the tears cannot help but run down my cheeks. Life will never be the same. He is doing the Lords work, what every young man should be doing. A mission can teach so much. I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. It makes a weak man strong.
till next week:)
