Elder Bassett - email (2013-10-21)

Hello Family!
These pictures are fantastic! There are some really cool landscapes here, but I never have the time to take a picture, or my camera can't get the real beauty of it all. I guess I could try some settings... The coolest image is Kennewick across the River at night. It is a sea of lights. The stars here are really impressive if I go beyond the freeway and away from the houses. I showed Elder Calhoun the Picture from Caesar Head and he could not believe how many trees there were.
It is really cool that John FINALLY got his papers in. Tell him to email me. I got some advice for him on how to survive the MTC! :P
Dakoda is going to start his papers soon. (We have been emailing back and forth)
Keep supporting them. It is the best way to let them know it will be worth it.
Emery and Annalise: It is SO cool that you had a discussion comparing Catholics and Mormons. I meet a lot of Catholics. (a lot are Mexican) Just remember that all you can do is INVITE them to hear the Gospel. See PMG Chapter 1. I hope school is great and you are both having the times of you lives!
Zakiah: I have had SO MUCH APPLE CRISP IN THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS!!!! But it has been good food. It is SUPER important to ask good questions. One of the Fundamentals of Missionary work is teaching People, NOT Lessons. And you can't teach people if you don't know them.
Dad: I hope this Job in Barnwell works out. Even if you don't switch it is always nice to have the option. I was honestly not that worried about the Government Shutdown, because I knew that the Lord would help you guys. We had a lesson last night with Isaac at a member's house and we watched the Mormon Message about the care braking down in the same place on the highway twice. (narrated by Elder Holland) It is really cool to know that "blessings always come, sometimes soon, sometimes later, and sometimes not till heaven."
Thanks family for all your awesome support! I will send a few pictures today as well. Love Ya Lots!

P.S. I will be going to the temple on the 30th, so my P-day is moved to then. so don't panic when I don't respond till Wednesday. Love Ya!
