Mom, I´m really excited to come home and help less active families and members... I had so many chances to do it when I was in High School, I had so many friends that could have used a little help, but I didn´t. I totally blew it. And now, I´m afraid that it´s too late for some of them, if I could live anything over again... it would not be football, it would be that.
Well, concerning your questions about what I want to do when you come here, here´s what I want to do:
Usually the missionaries can´t see their parents until Monday... but I have heard of missionary parents going and watching the last baptisms of their missionary´s missions. I would like for you to first see my baptisms. I am going to finish my mission here in jipijapa, so you wont have to worry about me leaving. I think that it would be easier if just Dad and you came down, have Helam and the kids wait for me at home. I especially don't want Hevynn to come down here because she´s too pretty, she wouldn´t understand what the men down here would say, but I would. I wouldn´t want to go home early for killing someone, the day of going home.
It would be easier for me to see my families in Manta first, because it´s only an hour away from jipijapa. Then, we can go to Quevedo, and visit my friends there. Guayaquil would be the last stop, because we could see my families there before we head to the airport. I haven´t thought about Babahoyo yet... it´s kind of out of the way, but if Tyler Larson came with us, it would be worth the trip.
Or, you could just come down for the baptism and go back to Guayaquil, then I would go up there on Monday, and we can visit people then. Whatever it doesn´t matter, either way it´ll be fun.
I was thinking that I could study a bit somewhere close by like at Weber or something, before I make a big decision... like I would like to go to Utah, or something. LDS business college sounds good too, but I just want to start out small. I don´t want to play football, because it is a huge commitment, and I would rather study, and play the guitar. I do want use the talents that I have, I could definitely go into business, because I have really, really acquired awesome people skills. I can get people to like me, and I can win them over to my way of thinking. I have learned how to be a leader. I can get missionaries and investigators excited about whatever. I speak Spanish, I would like to go into something in Spanish, as well as study other languages. I love the guitar, I love music, and I can play pretty good. Basically I would like to do something that I love. I think the big reason why my mission here was so wonderful, is because I learned to love. I learned to love getting up at 6:30 in the morning. I loved talking to people, who I also learned to love. Elder Jenkins learned to love too, and it shows. I learned to love the Lord. I don't say that I keep all the commandments perfectly, but I know what I need to do to love him.
So, I hope that helps Mom. Something small first, then we´ll see what happens. Weber State, seems like a good place to start. I am excited to see you guys, and to eat real good food. Love ya mom, and Ill talk to ya soon!
