Thanks for the pics of Elder Selvey and THE TEMPLE! It makes me so happy that he served and is home safe now. He looks great! I'll be very excited to see and talk to him in less than a year when I get home! I've got a lot more to do right now though. I'm staying in Sulacap (Madureira Stake) and will be with the same companion. I love him and we're working really well together. I've got a lot more to learn but I've got more than 8 months left. I'm so glad that you're sharing the gospel and helping the missionaries. I hope you liked the couple spiritual thoughts that I sent last week. I always think about stuff during the week that I can share with you. I've got a really great one that I found this morning. I was looking in an old Liahona and it had a talk that had a scripture theme. I didnt recognize the scripture so I went to look it up this morning in my personal scripture study. I spent an hour reading this chapter and scriptures with the same theme! It was amazing and I learned so much. But before I share that I wanna start with another scripture. The first one is Luke 15: 3-7. Then go to Ezekiel 34 (the awesome random scripture I found). Read the whole chapter but then read again verses 2, 4, 6, 11, 16, and 31. This chapter and message really touched me. I thought of the shepherds that the Lord commands to repent (verse 4) which led me to D and C 121:39-44 which says that we must teach and exhort with love. Christ commands the apostles to "feed His sheep" in John 21. ALso, in John 10:11-12 he says he is the good shepherd. I love you mom and will talk to you soon
