Well its funny that you ask about the laundry, i am doing fine with it, i can fold everything so it doesn't look like an ape did it. speaking of my district i haven't told you about it, it consists of 4 elders and 3 sisters. the first elder is from maryland and is studying trumpet performance at BYU, another is studying acting at BYU, and my companion is studying chemical engineering, all of the sisters went to BYU, one is from lehi utah, another is from Alpine and went to Lone Peak High, the school who's basketball team won the national title two years ago. the elders are amazing and funny, its so nice to be around friends, true friends that love me, are respectful, and just amazing men, the sisters are helping me to learn patience so i guess it is a good thing this is happening. we got to hear two devotionals, one from Stephen B. Allen who said that we decide every day what kind of day it is, and on tuesday we listened to Lowell M. Snow a former seventy, who talked about becoming truly converted to the gospel. but the powerhouse lesson we got was on sunday night we watched Character of Christ by David A. Bednar, i wont say anything about it, but go and watch it, it is amazing. ja mam świadectwo z Bóg jest Ojcem Niebieskim i Jezus Chrystus jest sbawicelem, wiem że Józef Smith jest prorok z Bóg i Księga Mormona jest prawde, my potrzebowamy wiara i swiatło ż szczęsliwe, w imię Jezusa Chrystusa, amen. Good luck translating i may have spelled some things wrong :)

Hey Dad,
The priesthood may have been past down, but after all of the apostles died the right to give that priesthood to anyone not ordained to the priesthood left, so in essence the keys were taken from the earth. i don't hold keys, it would be like the apostles, the prophet, and every stake president, mission president, bishop, and elders quorum president instantly dying, i still have the priesthood and you would still have the priesthood, but the keys would be gone, so we could not pass our priesthood on to anyone else, what it means by the priesthood left the earth is the KEYS left the earth, so no one had the right to receive revelation for anyone else, and no one had the right to bestow the priesthood on anyone, the KEYS are the government of the priesthood, and the government of the priesthood dissolved with the apostles, i just want to share with you one thing that i have learned that has been the biggest thing to hit me, that people are not ever taught by another mortal being, the only true teacher is the Holy Ghost, so when we teach anyone we must do one thing, and that one thing is invite the spirit through simple doctrine, we have been taught here that you do that through modlitwa (prayer) and świadectwo (testimony). so when you talk to someone start by bearing sincere testimony and all that you know, then teach as simply as you possibly can, the Holy Ghost will enter, and the Light of Christ will come alive and they will know that what you are saying is true. i love you dad,
love,
starszy summers
