Happy thanksgiving mother,
just got back from a morning devotional with Elder Holland.Yep that makes it 5 apostles that i have seen while in here. one of the most powerfull things ive ever been apart of. the spirit was so strong that i barely got any notes because i was so fixated on listening and not missing a single word or phrase. What a great thing on this not so fine Thanksgiving day. As you know today is supposed to be our pday and since we are leaving on monday it is much needed to get done all the stuff we needed to get done. but they took it from us without giving us a make up day. so we had to go to the laundry room at 6 this morning and pretty much waited for 30 minutes for 1 machine to open because there were so many people there trying to do laundry, so that was already a bad start to the day. but then we had the devotional and now everything is alright, i dont see how anyone could be upset after that talk. he had his grandchildren get up and sing and i lost it. it just made me think about home and my sisters and my primary kids and the great life i had at home. then he got up and told us all about how poor the world is and how we have the opportunity to go out and to live and to suffer with them to share the message of jesus christ. I hope that as you all have a great thanksgiving day that you will remember those who will go to sleep hungry tonight. and to pray for them. thank you for the stamps haha they havent come yet idk if ill even get them seeing that i leave in 4 days but who knows. ill be sure to mail everyone my address when i get time when i get down there. its going to be so great to hear everyones voices and the stories! i cant wait! I hope that all is well and the next time we talk will be over the phone!!!!
ok so here is the part for the family. sorry this is the only time i could email.
***Val wrote this letter to Val's side of the family to read at Thanksgiving dinner-- none of them are members of the church. It was really neat, his Aunt Sally was able to translate Lil Val's testimony in english. It was very special. ********
Dear Galvan family,
Whhaddddduuuppp! How is everyone doing? I really hope that everyone has a great thanksgiving and that everyone is doing well. As for me, life is great and I couldnt ask to be doing anything else in my life right now. The language is coming along just fine and ive never felt better about myself in my whole life. I know most of you probably do not understand what and why I am doing what I am doing, but to understand all you have to do is remember the life of our savior Jesus Christ. It was his mission on this earth to bring people unto his gospel, and now that he is gone, it is our mission as members of His Church to bring the corners of the world unto him. I have a tremendous opportunity to go out and to talk about jesus for 2 years with people who literally have nothing but who are so giving and loving. I seriously cannot wait to get down there on monday. Here is my testimony of this work in spanish hopefully someone there can read it and understand my gringo idioma haha. yo tengo un testimonio de Jesucristo. Yo se que JesuCristo murio para mi, para ustedes, y para todos en el mundo hoy. JesuCristo sufrio en la cruz para que nosotros recibemos la vida eterna y remission de nuestros pecados. Yo se que Jose Smith trandujo el libro de mormon por el poder de Dios. Yo puedo testificar que el evangelio de jesucristo esta en la tierra hoy y ustedes pueden saber la verdad de este evengelio en el libro de mormon, yo testifico que si ustedes leen el libro de mormon, Dios contestara todos sus preguntas. Dios nos ama. Y yo se que vive mi senor. I love you all and have a great and wonderfull holliday season! Bye!
Elder galvan
