May 23, 2011


Dear Family,
I just got a letter from Elder Freyre. He is doing great! He is apparently in a small branch trying to build it into a ward!
Recently, we have gotten to know the members much better. Today, we had a service project that we had with a member of the Church. The hacked up her front garden with a chain saw. It was so much fun. I love service!!!! After, we taught an investigator in the park. She is doing amazing. We met her last week and she will progress well as she keeps her commitments.
Hmm. mng (manang, or short cut - mng, means older sister in the Filipino culture) graduated. Sounds like everything went well. Send me some pictures in your next letter. I would send you some of mine, but my usb is kind of misplaced. I have some sweet pictures. Trampolines(mmhhhmmmm...)
Thank you for everything
Love,
Elder Resolme

Dear Family,
It was fun to talk with you on Sunday. Hope you had a fantastic mothers day!
Yesterday, we had our transfer calls. I still have the assignment to stay here in CHelmsford, but Elder Santoro, my Italian compadre, is going to the Watford Zone. It has to be in like some country place. My new companion will be Elder Wing, from Utah. He was in the same group as Elder Santoro.
I have a terrible memory, I probably should start writing in my journal, because i keep on forgetting what happened over the past week.
-One cool thing that happened was when we had a step in with a man named Matt, on a bench beside the river Chelmer. It was great! He is a musician and we shared our beliefs. He travels all the time for music and such, but he said we could pop by his home anytime. He lives right next to the church.
-I also gave another talk. It was on the Book of Mormon! Funny thing is , I had round two of the audio not working. Luckily Maldon Ward is quiet, therefore I did not have to yell.
-We also lifted some weights with a LA. We made a deal, if we came to lift, he would come to church. We lifted last week and he came, and we lifted Yesterday! I am pretty sore right now. I am so out of shape. For all those prospective missionaries, follow the schedule and exercise in the morning. You will not regret it.
-On Sunday, I was also able to see a person I met in Utah a couple years ago. It was good to meet up with him and see how he is doind. His name is Tim and he is from Bristol. Good Times.
I love the Book of Mormon. Every time I read it, something new pops up and the stories are amazing. The great thing about it is, that it is all true. The book contains historical
accounts of living prophets. I strongly encourage you to read this Book every day. I will give you the promise of Joseph Smith, as talked about in the Introduction. As you read, you will get nearer to God. Fact. I testify of it.
Love,
Elder Resolme

Dear family
Thank you for the emails. Seems like you are all having a great time.
I am currently in the apple store because the library is closed, but
its all good. I will email later, but yep, the big marriage was last
week.... This past week, I was able to meet the rudest people I have
ever met. During the wedding, we were street contacting and everyone
was basically plastered. We also knocked on a house the other day and
the lady started yelling at us and then used a bunch of profanity. It
was alright though because she could have gone through something in
the day that was terrible. This is what I get for praying for
christlike attributes. We will be having a baptism this month. I will
update you on that later. I love being a missionary!

Mothers day! I will most likely call before you go to scripps second.

Love,
Elder Resolme
