from 2 Sep 2013 from Elder Jared Knotts
I hope Jordans not suffering too much (from the heat) in Indy. ...... He'll get used to the heat though. It'll be cold next month in Indiana. Here, its starting to get a little hot again but its not bad yet. Winter is over and now its spring but here they just have 3 months of hot weather and 9 months of super hot weather haha. Its never really "cold" here.......
Do they have any idea when the (Indy) temple will finish? Next summer maybe? .......Thanks for the pics of the temple and thanks for your email. Its always always great to hear from you. I hope you're as excited as I am for General Conference next month! It'll be great to hear the counsels and teachings of our beloved Prophet and other leaders of the church. I pray that we may have faith as they do and as the prophets of old. Like Nephi, Enos, Enoch, the brother of Jared, Daniel, and many others. I read a great talk from April 2012 GC called "Special Lessons" and he said, "Thus another special lesson learned: If you come upon a person who is drowning, would you ask if they need help—or would it be better to just jump in and save them from the deepening waters? The offer, while well meaning and often given, “Let me know if I can help” is really no help at all."
This was a great lesson for me to learn, we must search for opportunities to help and teach and rescue our friends and family. Dont wait! Go and do and serve with love and with the Spirit. The Lord will guide you as you dilligently and prayerfully seek for those that you may bless. I love you mom and am thankful for your support. I hope that I may use this time wisely and serve my brethren with love.
love,
Jared
