Good week. To answer your questions from the letter you sent me... My area is 4 miles long and 3 miles wide. It’s one of the biggest areas in the mission.

Next week my p-day should be Tues. As of now we are going to the temple that day.

Yes, I got your package thank you. My favorite thing you sent was the post-its sticky notes.
Food of the week. We went to a Samoan party for dinner this week. About 40 people were there and over 200 pounds of steak. There were some chickens and rolls and potato salad and stuff. Then they sang us a song that they wrote. "God Bless the Missionaires" A guy in our ward is in a Samoan band with his family and he's the one that's about to get sealed in the temple that we've been working with for a long time.

Elder Yeaman’s quote of the week. "My God my God why hast though forsaken me?"

Explanation: I read an article in an ensign a while back and it was really good but it talked about how when Jesus was on the cross, he quoted this scripture from Psalms 22. Most people don't realize it was said before by King David when we had sinned and was trying to get his life back in order. But the article explained that God never leaves us. At time many of us feel that way. The scriptures have stated several times that though God might not be pleased with what we're doing his hand is stretched out all the day long. He’s waiting for us to reach up and grab his hand. Now Jesus Christ was the only one that was forsaken so that he could go below all. He knows how we feel and he knows how to heal our wounded souls. When we feel alone, forgotten, forsaken, the one who is always there and will heal and help us every step of the way is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Love Elder Yeaman
