Week 73 - December 9, 2019


This week was awesome! I just want to tell those who sent me emails and letters for my birthday thank you so much! You guys really did make my birthday. I think that's one of the biggest things that I've learned on my mission. The people that you meet and that matter to you are the most important things in the whole world. I love you guys! 
Hermano Gutman is the greatest guy and like a dad to Thomas. His lucha libre birthday hug!

This week Elder Bentley and I went down to McAllen for MLC. It was an awesome time and super cool to just sit there and receive revelation. On the drive down, ELDER BENTLEY AND I SWORE WE SAW A UFO FOR LIKE 3 SECONDS. IT was insane. It actually turned out to be a water tower but driving at 5 in the morning in the fog really threw things off for a minute. That was pretty funny. We are just continuing to find and hopefully some things can start to work out within these next few weeks with the people that we have! They have a lot of potential but need to progress and if they don't come to church things wont happen. Just gotta keep swimming. We also had stake conference here in Laredo and the visiting 70 was from Antofagasta Chile. That was fun to hear his accent. Catie, those people there speak kind of interesting hahah just kidding. Hope everything's going good back home. The mission just is the best. 



I was reading something in teachings of the prophets that I loved this week. 

“The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ would take the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums.
The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.” - Ezra Taft Benson

Love you guys so much! 
Elder Freedman
