Week 39 - Life in Cottbus week 20: Dear Elder

Hello friends and family, I'll keep it short and sweet this week.

To several of you who have been writing me personally the last couple weeks, you probably know that I have kind of been struggling. Feeling a little depressed, forgotten, and discouraged. One evening this week, though, Elder Jordan and I were listening to some talks at home in the evening. I was looking through the 15 gigabytes of talks that Elder Mayer left me (спасибо, mein Vater) and a folder stood out to me. It was called, "Dear Elder". I opened it up, and all that it held was a single, short MP3. As we listened to it, it touched my heart. I am sending it here so you can all listen to it as well.

Since I listened to it, things haven't all been easier, but I know that my Heavenly Father is with me. He is helping me to overcome my weaknesses, and he wants to help you as well. He is here, and his Gospel truly does lead us to find happiness. Sometimes things are hard, but he has the power to help us now, and one day, when we return to him, all things will be made right.

I love you all!
Elder Austin Spaulding


ZoKo shenanigans...
not sure what is up with his eye there...

Something something...
 an eye single to the glory of God or something...

For this my comp was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, 
and is found.  And they began to be merry.  With Tandin White.
