Dear Mary,
We did get the car
with the bike rack that we wanted!! We are happy that we have it! Now we can go
biking around more!! :D
I'm glad that things
are going well at home! I would highly recommend reading and deeply pondering
President Nelson's talk...It's helping me a lot!! Look for ways to be happy and
joyful every day! Look past the grief and focus on the joy you can and will
have :)

Yesterday we had
dinner with the Orduna family in the ward, which is always a
blast! For our dinner message, I felt prompted to share something I
found in my personal studies Sunday morning. I've made a personal study
goal to search for Joy in the scriptures, and on Sunday, I found something
that hit home. It's found in John 16:20-24. It talks about Joy and asking God
to help have it in our lives. After reading it, I asked the family how they can
search for joy in their lives. They talked about reading the scriptures and
going to church and looking past your obstacles and focusing on Christ. The
father of the house talked about someone in Vista that we know who's
mother died when he was on his mission, and how he was able to look past that
tragedy and find hope in Christ. I can't remember everything that he said about
it, but I know that it helped me to feel better, and we felt the spirit really
there. I don't think that family knows our situation, otherwise, they might not
have brought it up, I'm not sure. But either way, it helped me!
Write when you can, I
love hearing from ya'll!! If ya'll are struggling with anything, I'll do my
best to help out!
With much love,
Elder Patrick
