He may be maturing in the gospel, but he's still a little kid at heart! He loves his new area, he loves his new companion and it seems that those two things have given him the opportunity to develop some other blessings. Here's a portion of one of his last emails:
"The night I got your package, I was thinking about what Alexis told me about the missionaries in England and the vision that Joseph Smith had about God crying. It was looking like I wasn’t gonna get my package that night, which really bummed me out. Then the thought came into my head that I should pray for it, even though it’s selfish and stupid and really doesn’t matter. So I offered quick prayer in my head and when I finished, I envisioned in my head how long it would take from the time that I said amen for us to receive a phone call. I kinda walked it through in my head, the sister receiving the impression that she should call, dialing and then putting the phone to her ear and waiting. And then out phone rang. . .Pretty special.
Also, I did what Sara said about praying for other people’s prayer to be answered and I asked Heavenly Father if I could do that. I asked to be an angel and answer a prayer. That day, we found a woman whose parents were inactive members and were meeting with Jehovah’s Witnesses. She stopped us in the street and asked us to come in and talk to them. So we did. Then when we left, she looked me in the eyes and said (translated) “You don’t know how long I’ve been praying for an angel to come and talk to them.”
