9 June 2013 Wade is wondering what the pass code is to your iPod. He's pretty sure that you are unconcerned about worldly stuff and you won't mind. :) if you don't want him to use it, say something now. Love Mom
Dear Will,
Oh, ha ha. Did I send the picture of Wade with the cops? He locked his keys in the Subaru. We can't find the spare. 2 cops had to come and get him out. Then their tool got stuck and he had to take the door apart. :-(
And now Wade wants to know if he can also use your iPod.
I am working on getting you some music. I will figure it out. Do you want primary songs? It is our 13th anniversary today (Sunday). Crazy. I sent off another package (#4). It has more medication in it. I didn't send the blue yarrow. I didn't want to send that in the same package as the imiprimine. I'll send that next week.
SUMMER VACATION!! Our calendar is filled up every week. It is either Summer School for Wade or art class for Megan or family camp or BYU education week or Youth Conference or Girls' Camp or I think we are going to try to go up and see Monica this year for a road trip. Gramma and Grampa might come with us so we can afford to rent a little cabin on the Oregon Coast. The thing that is good about Summer Vacation is that I don't have to be as strict about schedules. The thing that is bad about Summer Vacation is that no one thinks there is a schedule and I never get to sleep.
Our Youth Conference is going to be amazing. We are going shooting up at the lion's club and we will do a service project there. We will then head to MarDiene's cabin in the hills. We will camp there and have devotionals and yummy food. Friday we will go to Rockport for Boating and JetSkis. Then more spiritual stuff and games and a movie. Saturday we will hike part of the Mormon trail and have pioneer stories about standing firm. Then we will go home, shower and come back to the church in dress clothes. We will go to the JSMB and see the film and have dinner and a fireside in a private room at the Roof Restaurant, courtesy of our contact in the department of Temporal Affairs downtown... well, and the ward budget for youth conference, which is bigger than any other item in the ward budget.
Wade leaves to wrestling camp tomorrow. If he gets the dishes done. And if he can find his mouth guard. And if he figures out how to get there. One of the dads has been hyper-diligent in arranging carpool but we just realized today that the carpool leaves at 1:00 and Wade is supposed to teach in Priests' Quorum at 3. So now there is this guy flying up there at 3:30 and Wade didn't bother calling him until 10:00 P.M. on Saturday night so we'll see how that works out. Don'tcha wish you were here? yeah. I get to drive to Afton, WY next Saturday to get them. He ended up flying there after Priests' Quorum with the Dad of one of the other wrestlers. How awesome is that?
Megan says "tell him that I said, 'hi' and that I love him."
Ebenezer passed away this last week. Carol is doing ok, she says. They buried him in James' backyard. several nights ago, I was reading a scripture and I was touched by it: 3 Nephi 22:7-11, so I circled it on my bookmark. Then i was trying to figure out why I had it circled, went back and read it and thought of Carol. That was probably about the time that Eb passed. Anyway, v. 11 made me think of her because even though Sapphire is my birthstone, it is Carol's color and reminds me of her, but it is interesting about the comfort part, too. I mentioned it to her, but I don't know if it will mean anything to her.
Love you. Hope all is well. Keep the faith, Elder.
Love, Mom
10 June 2013 haha that is awesome.. yeah that about covers it all the only problem i really have in my house is people who need to chew with mouth closed. and stop laughing so loud and not saying please! agh i am really struggling.. i've been praying for you and the family so i hope things are getting better.
love elder beadle
agh.. summer vacation something that i wont ever get to look forward to again. i love summer trips., i was thinking that when i get back we are going to disneyland and then i am going to take some computer courses and then go live in hawaii for a couple of months and do all this stuff.. haha i don't really know how much stuff i can do. my life seems like it is going to fly by!! i miss all the family planning. it seems that this might be the busiest summer of the lefevrebeadles yet. i kinda do wish i was there!!! hahaha. yeah
why did you have to drive up to WY? i am lost... about someone flying up where? wade needs to get things in order.. i don't know if its possible.. i love him though. i am glad that he is so busy but i was thinking that he needs to set aside a day to work with the missionaries or something that would be powerful. maybe not this summer.. but yeah he needs to get working and making some money or something..
i pray for carol thanks for letting me know about evil ebster. that was a powerful dog..
i am glad that i was able to read about the life that is happening. i love to be involved!
send me some oreos those make me feel good about myself.. haha.. but really
i don't know what you sent but i couldn't get it. my computer is in an internet cafe and the sound is cut.
Love Elder Beadle
Dear Will,
Lyndee told me this morning, "I ate all of William's can-ee." I guess she found the stash of Starbursts I was going to send. I'm going to try to attach a video of her.
Mom: Do you want to tell William anything else?
Lyndee: (nods)
Mom: What do you want to tell him?
Lyndee: (thinking)
Mom: Do you want to tell him you are going camping? or that it is summer?
Lyndee: a GREAT BIG HUG!
Lyndee!!!!! AH, she makes me laugh and cry i love her so much she is going to be soo different.. i think she is almost super human with her growth and learning.. from what i hear she is just growing more and more each week with intelligence. tell her that i would really love a hug right now. this mission is hard, not because of teaching but because of living and working with others. agh it is a struggle. but she makes me so happy. i love you lyndee!
can you get camploll cd copied for me and send it. or upload the mp3s to my dropbox. and i can get them please :) why can't i pull this together? Altoids are good. He is the most spoiled Elder, I am sure. I just send my 4th package. And I know at least one other person sent a package.
my dropbox might have some stuff on it. oreos or something... :) i love you .. you should really read Our Search for Happiness by M. russell ballard.. so good.
maybe dave and brenda mailing address. i don' tknow if i have it.
um yep i miss you all.
this is a wonderful time to be part of the gospel.
Hi Elder Beadle,
It was great to hear from you. Ok so as far as Primary goes. Everything can be found in red handbook of instructions or online at lds.org. Do you have access to these resources?
The phrase you asked about in 1 kings" Pisseth against the wall, the answer comes from institute student manual and i quote," The Hebrew idiom originally meant " every male" The phrase is only met within passages which speak of the destruction of a family or household to the very last man. The same idea occurs in modern revelation without the offensive expression in D&C 121:15 which reads," And not many years hence, that they and their aposterity shall be bswept from under heaven, saith God, that not one of them is left to stand by the wall. Does that make sense? I hope it clarifies a little.
So will you be leaving the country? Why did the missionaries leave. Does Zim not want any americans their? That’s weird. Hope all is well with you. Tell us more of your experiences and life in Africa. Is it even cold? Do you even need that jacket that we bought you? it seems too heavy for you to wear.
This past week was busy for our family. Last day of School was Friday. Landons birthday on Thursday and he graduated from kindergarten. I met an African Family. They are from Sierra Leone on the western coast. Its amazing how many africans i run into now that you are in Africa. Lovely People they are. Hope you are taking lots of pictures and writing in your journal.
Tuesday we went to the zoo. Remember Kindergarten Zoo I couldnt help but think of you when we saw the elephants, giraffes, tigers and monkeys. Landon liked to look at the map to see if the animal lived in Africa. Then we saw the bird show. Loved it. Anyway.....yesterday was our 13th wedding anniversary. Wow it seems like yesterday. The experiences you have with your companion is like marriage in a way. You have to learn to love and serve them.
What a blessing you are to our family. I am so proud of you. Thank you for who you are and who you represent. I feel guilty for not living up to the divine potential i have within myself. It is a daily struggle. But knowing that you are serving full time and teaching about jesus christ gives me hope and a desire to do better, love better and serve better.
Last week i finished the book of mormon again. I am going to start and reread it. I started with the old testament. I actually enjoy that book. It is long though and not as easy to understand as the book of mormon.
I do have more to say but i aM GOING TO A FIRESIDE WITH PRESIDENT MCMILLAN
ILL WRITE AGAIN
LOVE DAD
DAD! yeah thanks for the explanation of the old testament..
yeah so right now there are some issues with visas and the missionaries that left came from the provo mtc and had problems originally. but now we have had more leave from our mission and now have been reassigned.. i don't think it is even an american thing. weve lost kenyans southafricans so yeah it is weird.. i think i will be fine though.. the government seems to like me or God hasn't accomplished His purpose here with me yet.
Yeah zimbabwe is cold in the morning.. like camping morning cold. and the day is super hot.. that coat that we bought. is good but i would have to carry it everywhere with me and that would be so annoying. so i don't use it. but i have bought a sweater here.
that is awesome that u met with that family.. yeah these people are pretty good people. we had a harare stake conference this past sunday the theme was proverbs 22:3 or something.. about raising children in the gospel.. it was powerful but also a little ahead of my time.. i was a little board. with it.. but we met all the members in harare there were about 300 that came so that was interesting. we met all the white members in harare and it felt strange to see them here. most are from south africa. we met a lady whose husband went to the U of U and the missionary who baptized her family was from Bountiful!! .. i forgot the name though. and yes i am writing in my journal everyday.. people here don't recognize how important that is... I am completely different from every missionary here.. it seems the missionaries from Utah just have a better idea of what missionary work is.. a lot of the Africans are really lazy ... they break rules. even my comp and it is really hard. it is sad and a challenge. i know i am here to change something but right now i don't really feel empowered to do so.
anyway.. i was thinking of Landon all week and wondering what he got for his birthday. He is going to be a powerful man one day. he is already growing so fast. i love that little man so much.. I am proud of him.
yes this mission is inspiring and definitely a challenge. I can testify of the gospel but it is all the side work that is really hard for me to do. i have to live up to my trainers standard (which is high for how low he is) and i have to get the ward to like me and communication is just difficult. i know i shouldn't complain about my comp. but i have been depressed this whole week.. it really helps when people say please and thank you.
the book of mormon is so powerful.. right now i am in the war chapters of alma and it is good. i am also listening to some talks that have some deep doctrine. have you heard the witchcraft talk ? i don't know who gives it but it is definitely something everyone needs to hear. especially teenagers. i tried to send it but i think it is too big... i will try to send it over dropbox... willdbeadle@gmail.com \ 12wbeadle1993 that is the code you use to log on to dropbox and access the talks if i can get them on..
the scriptures are wonderful .. thanks for emailing keep on sending thoughts and thinks that you have i love them..
love Elder beadle
Elder Beadle,
So we just got back from fireside with President McMillan. He talked about the church in the middle east. It was awesome. The opening song, I thought of you participating in this great work spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. Hark All ye nations, it reads,"
Chosen by God to serve him below,
To ev'ry land and people we'll go,
Standing for truth with fervent accord,
Teaching his holy word.
We had a priesthood leadership meeting this morning and one of the things they talked about was all callings come from God. It is our Job to Learn our duty and ACT.
I know you don't have time to write but let me know how the work is going, your investigators, are you in the same area or a new area. Send pictures of your companion.
We went to a Mediterranean restaurant for anniversary it was good food. Best chicken i've had in years.
I hope you have a great week. Transfers are coming up do you think you will stay. You may have to buy Landon a zebra skin again, havent seen it.......yet
Praying and thinking of you always
Love, Dad
to Dad:
I love pres. mcmillan he is a powerful teacher and friend. i wish i spent more time getting to know that family. and the same with all my grandparents. anyhow.. yeah i will try to get landon zebra skin again.. agh.. that is a bother. I think i am staying but at the same time i could move anywhere.. i really want to train to pass on my thoughts and attitudes. maybe.. idk.
thanks for the thoughts and prayers. i love you
love elder beadle
We usually end up writing to him several times on Sunday and during the week because we think of things we forgot to say. I love email.
What Stake are you in and what is your wards name?
I have someone who lives in Harare and they wanted to know your name
so...let me know and Ill see if you are close to them maybe i can send something home with them
for you.
Dad
to Dad
Chitungwiza ward. In Harare stake. yeah i think that is it.
I'm not sure who these pictures are of, nor why he sent another picture of his toilet unless that is a flame and not sunshine sitting on the back. I certainly hope not. :)
