10/24/11


Hi!
     Thank you mom for taking the time to write:) I am always so excited and feel so grateful to read about what happened in your lives. Landon's quite the man. I hope he and dad are ready to play 21 at the elementary when I get back. Man we're getting old! Landon will almost be 27 when I get back. He's probably better then me by now, I hope he takes it easy on me:) Oh my goodness! The primary program was this weekend for us too! There's nothing quite like hearing those children sing. I always think of Peight and Haiz first when I think of any little children. I really love them so much. Thanks mom and dad for loving all of us and thanks for having at least two more unplanned children before you tied the chances of anymore! Ha just kidding, but seriously. I am so happy Jenna came over. Her and Carlos Sr. are too awesome. I can't imagine a more awesome couple and holy cow I bet their baby is the cutest little guy! Thanks for saying hi to my friends for me and thanks for calling sister Hamblin she called me right afterwards and let me know. She's a neat woman. I don't need anything but those bags sound great! Thank you. 
 
All is well here:) One of my most favorite things to do is to Remember the Savior in all that I do. Lately I've been more tired and more beat up then usual. I love it though. I won't get into specifics I just hope ya know that I really am trying my hardest to do what the Lord wants me to do. I don't try and please anyone else, I never put on a show or justify a little disobedience to convenience me or too fit in with others. I'm happiest when I'm doing those things that invite the spirit and it's fun to strive to do all the small things. Obedience brings a peace of mind that nothing else can. When I do this I feel and know that I'm also doing what's best for all those around me. If we know true principals we should do our best to apply them. We can show those around us how much we love them through obedience to God and through always trying to repent and become more like the Savior. Life is too good. Repentance is fun ha. We've had a slow week full of great effort and many prayers. We don't have a lot of people to teach right now but the ones that we are teaching are doing well. There is a woman who we just taught about fasting on the 14th and she's been praying already for the nerve to ask her husband if she can go to church. In their culture the man still buys the woman so it's up to him completely. When we taught her about fasting she was excited and just last Friday we followed up with her at our ESL class and she said that she had fasted and prayed. When people are willing to follow and show faith miracles always happen. They happen for us everyday. We'll finish up a list today of about 300 Hmong people in Chico that we've organized from our area book. We're anxious to knock on doors and really just love them. The work is great. I feel blessed to have the companion I have and have had in the past. I've been here since 1 Feb 2011 so come 21 Nov 2011 we'll see if I'll stay again. This area has gone up and down with those who have desires to change and we always feel confident we'll find them as we're obedient willingly and prayerful in remembering the source of our potential. 
 
I hope you know I love y'all and if there's anything I can do for ya let me know. Please hug and kiss the Little's for me. 
 
Love Elder Paramore
 
PS. I look forward to the Chili Verde and the package thank you:) Yay! for righteousness:)
