Letter to Mom 11/13

Well I went to an authentic baptist church! it was the coolest thing in my life. haha so it was a clapping and praising good time! seriously they would sing soooo loud and clap too! and the choir would get into it and the people would stand up and shout and clap. the piano player would go nuts and just bang on the piano so hard it almost broke. then the drummer would just go crazy too. its all about their emotions and not spirit in it really. but it was awesome. then some preacher guy gets up in military uniform and prays for the people to have the spirit shouting "in the name of Jesus!" like 30 times over and all around me people are crying out amens and hallejuahs. and praise God. instead of saying umm they say amen at the end of every sentence and praise God when he changes subjects. it was awesome! oh an investigator is a minister there so thats why we went by the way not just cause.
umm i do a lot of tracting. IM thinking about joing the navy or army when i get home. this one Elder tells me stories and I love it. And this guy in my ward is in the navy so he flys and I love his stories too. Not any super amazing experiences really. I have just found that my knowlegde and stories about worldly things helps me when I talk to people. which is why I think I would be a good counselor and why I had so many trials all the time. I had pears and cream cheese last night. i heard its amazing but its ok. the ward is really doing well with missionary work. they are all getting into it. this one family has a baby just born with heart defects so its going to die soon. :( but it was only suppose to live a couple mins and its going still. its been over a week so good news there. prayer works. but hmm....thats it i think. i like that scripture you gave me and I love this new one i cant remember it. its like matt7:24 with Christ on the sermon on the mount about faith is not the only way to salvation. not just praising his name but acting in it. its good to read the scriptures. its better to study. but its best to live them. thats my words of wisdom for the week. read from the scriptures everyday for at least 30 mins. do it as a family too. it will help. i promise. love, Elder Malone
