1-24-11

so i've decided to write a little different today.

behold, i elder, knowing that my family desires this epistle, do write this epsitle in the language of my fathers. and i write these things to make known unto them the progression of the work in the land eastward.

and it came to pass that i elder, do rejoice in the oppourtunity to speak with my brethren this day. behold it came to pass that the land did begin to wax cold. yea, a mighty wind and snow was driven from the north even unto the south, and the work began to be most slow. and it came to pass because of the cold, the people in the land round about did soften their hearts towards the missionaries. and bid them come in to preach the word of the lord unto them. and as the elders did this, they were blessed with the power of the spirit. but verily, the hearts of the people did wax cold, and did not want to continue in the ways of the lord and were lost to dark paths. but behold i elder do rejoice exceedingly, because i know that the Lord liveth. that he doth shed his love abroad in the hearts of men continually unto the filling of there souls with joy and gladness.

nevertheless i elder desire to know the state of my brethren in the land of zion. many days have past since i have receive any epistles from them. i doth make my heart ache to not hear every detail of their proceedings. but nevertheless i elder will continue to rejoice in the Lord. and i bid thee farewell until the next day of preparation.


haha LOVE YA!!!!!
