BOM challenge

I have noticed Colton's emails are getting shorter the longer he has been out. That's probably a good thing; means he's probably not thinking about home much! I decided to include Dad's email so you would know what he was talking about in his email.

Elder Bragg, Mom read me your last e-mail. Sounds like some missionaries are calling you a missionary nerd?

If that is so, invite them to come down out of the large and spacious building, to get back on the straight and narrow path, get a hold on the iron rod and go tracking with you. The only reason they would call someone a missionary nerd is because their hearts have been pricked because they know they haven't decided to serve with all their heart , might, mind and strength. Many are called but few are chosen and why are they not chosen?....

Keep smiling and keep up the good work Elder Bragg! I'm sure Heavenly Father is well pleased with you and for what it's worth so am I! Your the best!

Love,
Dad

Hey Hey!! So tell dad his email was the best ever, haha. I was laughing way hard. It was better too cause I'm reading that part in the Book of Mormon right now. Oh and just so everyone knows we are reading the Book of Mormon again as a mission before Christmas as a present to the Lord! I'm excited. I loved it last year and I learned a lot. So if anyone else wants to join in again this year, you can! I remember some started and fell off. But let's do this together, because it's totally worth it. Plus, its the Book of Mormon. It's the most correct book in the world and a man can grow closer to God by abiding by its precepts then any other book! Can't get mush better then that!!

Anyways, I'm pooped, we tracted 50 hours last week. The mission's Standard of Excellence or what everyone's goal is for a week is 20 hours. The average is around 17 usually. . . well we like to try a little harder then that over in GJ! haha It was awesome. The Lord has definitely blessed us for our dedication

I've got to run. busy busy busy haha

LOVE YOU ALL!!
Elder Bragg
