Mission man of Canada

Dad-
so the sweet story for this week is this. we got to go curling this last
friday!! man it was fun, but way hard. they make it look so easy on tv but once
you get out there and are doing it... that is another story. i managed to only
eat it on the ice once. so that was sweet in front of everyone...i did have fun
though, and we have planned to go back with our investigator who does it semi
pro in a week from friday. he is way good.
i told mom about this already, i'm doing much better this week. the hard thing
was i was frustrated with the people not caring about what we had to offer.
ihave just realized taht i can only do so much, i try my hardest to help them
and they have to do the rest with the Lord. so i have just told Heavenly Father
i'm going to do my best work as hard as i possibly can, and the rest is in his
hands. i have faith and trust in him that he will come through, he alwasy does.
so yeah i'm doing 100% better. thank you for your prayers and support.
That is so sad about Bro. Gorman. i don't know if i could handle that. i feel
really bad for Andy. that would be so hard. atleast he does have a good attitude
about it though. he is a good man, i remember going over to their house all the
time. this kind of stuff really does give you a deep gratitude for the knowledge
of the gospel we have. it really makes me want to work harder so i can offer
this to people. that is one thing i have been thinking about is how much comfort
i get from this knowledge and i just want other people to have it. i guess
though that is what had slapped me in the face, was when i put my heart into
wanting to better these peoples lives and they say no, not worth it.
I have discovered that this is going to be a major mental battle. i mean i have
already grown to love these people and to see them wasting time and not coming
to Christ, kills me inside. i read this morning in Alma 13 V. about 27? the
end... it talks about how he wishes they would heed his word. so much so that it
pains him that they don't. i feel the same way. i just wish they could see. but
the Lord knows best and it is up to him, who i prepared and who isn't, not me. i
can only work hard as i am.
anyways, that stinks that the sports scene is lame. we get a little NFL update
from a guy, he had the game on when we went in. it was fun. who knew the
cardinals would be so good. i have been thinking about one sports thing though,
and i know it is a year away. but the winter olympics will be on when i'm out
here. i have been thinking of ways that you guys can record that for me...
nothin yet. so i am putting you all on a mission to make sure that those get
recorded so i can see them. it will be hard, but it will be worth it.
Thank you for saying that i'm a good example. i mean i guess that is what i have
been trying to be, i just had never known people were watching. i'm glad that i
did do good enough though, that someone noticed. they always say that people are
watching, i just hope they remember me there and here for being a good nice
young man. i try my best. thank you for your support though and your example to
me. i love you and hope you are all having a good time and fun. especailly with
the dogs.
Love Elder NIck Novakovich
