Caleb and Jacob:
I hope this week has been good for you. Fall is upon us. The nights are cooling off and there is a lot of smoke in the atmosphere from forest fires throughout the West. Sydney has been sick this week and has basically been down since getting her tonsils out three weeks ago.
I have been digging around the front yard and found the outlet pipes and put bubblers on them so water can escape if we have another big storm. I suspect that these freak storms will become more the norm going forward.
One of the things that I've been thinking about this week is our inability as humans to see the beginning to the end. Especially when we commence on a new path. I can't imagine the stress that some investigators have when they embark on a new lifestyle. I think that is the most compelling thing about the gospel of Christ is that you don't have to know everything, rather, you take what you know and you improve upon that with the knowledge that your course is what heavenly father has outlined as his course.
I'm sure that you've noticed lots of houses in disarray on your missions. There is a gospel lesson that can be taken from this. At one time those homes were built new and beautiful. Over time, different people inhabited those homes and at some point, the homes fell into disrepair and were abandoned.
Similarly, our own testimonies need constant repair and maintenance to remain in good shape, If we stop caring for our testimonies, they will soon fall into disrepair. Anyway, you understand and can use this is you ever get the chance as you teach investigators.
I hope that you are both doing well. I am so proud of your and the efforts you are putting forth. You are great young men... the very best there is. I love you both and am thankful to call you my sons.
Dad
