Parable of the Itching Booty

Some snippets from James's latest email.

Parable of the itching booty:
There was an certain elder who bore an booty itch that was grievous to him. He said unto himself “This itch causes me exceedingly great pain, However I know that this kind goeth not out but by much scrubbing for I have toiled all day and it must needs be that my booty become soiled because of this. Therefore I shall scrub that this itch may depart from me for it grieveth me that it should remain.” So he took himself into his shower and did unto himself that which he had decided to do. And it came to pass that when he had departed from his shower he was exceedingly wroth with anger for the itch had stayed itself upon his bum. He said unto himself, “Mayhap, my scrubbing was not with all my might that I shall cause the itch to depart.” So he went unto his shower and did unto himself in the like manner notwithstanding his lack of triumph upon the first attempt. And it came to pass that he was even more wroth with anger for the itch had stayed itself upon his bum a second time. And he hath said unto himself “What more could I have done for my bum than that which must undoubtedly cause the itch to move?”

This was a rather powerful week. Yesterday we found a powerful family to teach. They took notes and asked good questions. I’m looking forward to seeing them again and hope I can do everything in my power to help them receive the restored gospel. I’m seeing more miracles, but I’m struggling to expect them. I’m trying to become more of a missionary that can expect miracles because he is exactly what he’s supposed to be. I’m working pretty hard to help people and things move along, but I won’t get carried away in wonderful ideas of all our investigators taking on the first covenant. Right now I can’t really remember a lot about what’s happened this week. I should’ve brought my journal with me for this kind of junk, but it’s probably not as eventful as what’s happened yesterday. I’ll let ya’ll know for next week.Church is true. Watta Tah. Sappa Tah Tow.

Write him letters! :)
