This is what happens as an assistant when you fall asleep driving from an area 1 hour from the office...

October 29, 2013 Quick Email

Just got back from a quick exchange in Priest river, Idaho. Split wood for like three hours to help out a less active member. I have blisters, but not too bad. It was good to take out my stress on the wood. Love you mom

Hey dad,

I have been doing a lot of praying this week, cause of my new assignment as an assistant. I was prompted to read the fathers blessing that you mailed to me as you were still in mexico with your brother, and it really helped me. I have really grown to love the priesthood, and the power and help that it brings into our lives. I want to thank you for holding the priesthood, and ministering to me when the time is needed.

Dad, I want to know what you think about school, job, and future wife, and everything. As a father, and as you have experienced all of that I would appreciate your insight. There is no rush. I know it might take prayer and fasting as you recieve revelation for your son, but I just wanted to ask for your advice. 

I love you dad. Thank your for being exactly who you are to me!

Family,

I know it seems weird to be getting all these emails from me. Working in the office now, we get to email whenever we have time, just cause we dont ever get the full hour and a alf at any given time. So, as I said, you will get emails from me at weird times, and a little more frequently. 

The experience the last few days has been very exciting. Yesterday we drove to the airport, and picked up 24 new missionaries. They were so excited to be here, and so ready to get to work. It is so weird after being out a while, to see those that havent had even two weeks being set apart and the point they are at. There is so much that I want to help them with, and so much I wish I knew at that point that I have just learned from experience. It was kind of like being a dad or something and wanting the best for my children. That is kind of the role that we have as assistants. We oversee the entire mission, and report back to president about anything and everything. Taking 250 missionaries under your wing is tiring and stressfull, but I love it, and the problem solving aspect that it brings. It is a whole new look on the lords work. 

I am glad that Gran gran got to visit, I got her letter yesterday. How is school going? Anything new in the cybulski family? I havent heard of anything crazy happening since start lost an eye ball LOL. 

I love you guys. Write back soon

Love,

FAmily,

First off, I totally meant to bring my camera to the library to send some picture, but I let it at home, so next week you will get  some more recent pictures of things here.

My week last week was good. We have lots of success with our members. After conference the members have really tried getting involved in the work more, no matter what way that is. Our WArd mission leader invited one of our investigators, and a less active over for dinner, and we had a wonderful lesson with them. The investigator is working on quiting smoking, and then she will be good for baptism. I also met a hispanic guy this last week that wants to get baptized, and as soon as he can get off work on sundays, he will be able to do that too. We are very excited for the work right now. Thank you for all of your prayers ad thoughts. We have felt your support.

This week I have really been studying about prayer, and several talk about the power that it has. I know that the lrd helps us as we turn to him. If we dont ask, he isnt going to just give us something. As we pray, we show our faith, and he can answer us according to that. 

I love you guys, and await your next email. 

Love

p.s. I think the package is at the mission office in spokane. They can only forward packages if it is priority boxes. If it is just a regular box, then they just hold onto it. I am just waiting for someone to make their way down to where we are so that I can get the package. No worries.

Hey mom,

I totally agree, Conference was pretty awesome. One of our investigators, who was having a hard time with a modern day prophet, was watching, and she said she felt a sense of peace. She lives out in the middle of no where, and we dont get to see her often, but I cant wait to teach her about the spirit, and how it answers our concerns. 

I have not gotten a package yet, but I just moved, so the mission office, might have held onto it for a couple extras days before forwarding it. 

This week, being in a new area, yet again, I have been trying to get to know the ward so that I can work with them the way that the brethren told us to in conference. I really think that when we are able to HELP the members in their missionary work, instead of doing our own missionary work, we will be able to see things in the united states just take off. There will always be more members than missionaries, and we should be helping them by teaching, instead of them helping us by fellow shipping. 

This week we have also been trying to find new people to teach. Our area is very small, and we it seems like everyone has already talked to missionaries, but we know there is someone out there, and that we will find them in a miraculous way eventually. Keep praying for us, and pray for the missionaries at home, by name. 

I love you guys, keep up the good work, and write soon.

Love,

Elder Cybulski
