Week 12 - The twelve Yea's of Christ's Math (from Dad)

Dear Jordan,
Sorry the title is off this time. I was hoping something better would come to mind. So here it goes.
1 - Be one with the Spirit and no matter what happens you will be successful
2 - You have a companion for many reasons (e.g. Protection, guidance, etc) so that you can rely on him
3 - The Godhead is three distinct individuals but one in purpose. As you become one with the Spirit, you become more like God
4 - The first four principles of the gospel opens the Celestial kingdom to us
5 - The number of fingers and toes on our hands and feet that remind us that we are to be Heavenly Father's hands to serve others and to quickly go as the Spirit dictates
6 - The number of days/periods that it took to form the earth. If the world can come together and be so beautiful, think what is possible for each of our spiritual brothers and sisters
7 - The seventh day is a day of rest. Don't walk faster than you are able but remember that the Lord qualifies those that He calls. Ammon said that as to the strength of man he was week but knew that he could accomplish anything that God asked of him
8 - There are eight quorums of the Seventies. They, like you, have been called of God and carry the title of Elder. Your district, zone, and mission now is your quorum and as a quorum, you can accomplish anything
9 - Can't think of anything, so kimchi. Nine or nein or no!!!!
10 - Moroni 10: 3-5 Moroni's promise to know the truth is sure
11 - The number of witnesses to the Book of Mormon and the percent of time you have already been on your mission. The time is flying by quickly when you are in the service of the Lord
12 - The Twelve Apostles are special witnesses of Jesus Christ and you have the opportunity to testify of Him every day

We have enjoyed your emails. They show your enthusiasm for your mission. Thank you for sharing what you are experiencing. We haven't received your boots yet from the missionary. Have you received your Chinese Book of Mormon? Everyone keeps asking how you are doing and I respond that you are doing great, especially since you get to use all of the different languages that you have learned.

How many missionaries in your mission? How many zones? How many missionaries in you district? Do you have weekly district meetings? I did in Ecuador. Are there many sister missionaries or senior missionaries? How are the discussions going? Do you spend most of your time finding or teaching?

I heard on Sunday that Dallin Colgrove is planning on finishing the last six months of his mission. The cyst was removed and he is going through therapy. Also Jason Colgrove is planning on serving a mission this summer.

Last night I helped clean the temple so if my thoughts are a little scattered, that is why. On Monday we had a quick Family Home Evening so that Hannah could see "Fiddler on the roof" at Jordan High School. I then went with the missionaries to teach a family on Sego Lily. It is a mixed family as far as religion. The father is Hindu and the mother is protestant. It was interesting to hear about the Hindu teachings and how many of the philosophies align with ours. They are a great family. If they pray about the Book of Mormon I know they will learn that it is true.

Amazing Race started again and it has returning teams including the cowboys. They won the first leg of the race.

We are doing well. Thank you for your prayers. When you went through the temple, was it in Korean or English? I still get nervous at the end when it is in Spanish. I am fine in English though.

Keep up the great work. I put your name on the prayer roll in the temple.
We love you.
Rachel, Bekah, dad, Mom, Sarah, Hannah

P.S. The attachment was in the news this week. It shows the lights on the Korean Peninsula. I bet you are near the Seoul lights. You can clearly see the DMZ.
