This week, Elder Reed decided to send his letter home via SERPost (ie, snail mail), so there isn't much to tell at this point [I hope that we see the letter soon!]. There were also no pictures. He had to deal with a power outage during the time he usually emails. I'm not sure if that happens frequently there or not.
In any event, Elder Reed wanted to share a spiritual thought. "My thought would have to be to watch the first priesthood session talk given by M. Russell Ballard [during the LDS Church's annual General Conference - it is linked at the left]. Apply those questions to yourself and not as a missionary, if you aren't one, and then reflect on how you can improve!"
Until next week - remember to count the many blessings in your life - they are there!
