Merry October y'all.
It's been a fairly normal week
after the massive spiritual high of conference.
Tomorrow we will celebrate Elder Brough's birthday. It would
seem that his is a few weeks before mine. Very interesting. The bad news is
that Elder Brough came down with some stomach distress this morning and has
been feeling horrible ever since. I'm struggling to find words to share with
him to help him feel better. But, I pray
that he gets better before the birthday celebration!
Let's see, as far as our missionary work goes, we met a man
named Tyler this week. Tyler's neighbors are members of the ward and introduced
him to us and we got to know him a little bit. He's been going through some
rough times and has felt that even his family has lent him little support.
Luckily we have more family than what we have here on this earth. We taught him
a little bit about the Restoration, and we're set to visit him again this week.
It can be difficult at times to catch people more than once a week.
We had our first district meeting as a new district. Elder
Garver is our new district leader, and he is about to finish up with his
mission. It seems that as of late I've been put in the district of plenty of
people who are about to finish.
It's not too often that someone you refer to other
missionaries progresses well. I was happy to learn that Justin is making a big
effort to meet with his missionaries and to get baptized. It was an over-joying
thing to learn. It makes me wonder about the other areas I've served in and how
they are progressing lately.
Elder Brough is gradually warming up to the area and we are
picking up speed. We're trying to get to know all of the members of both wards
to work more closely with them -- after all, they are the ones that know where
those prepared are. And as we do that, we're working to talk to everyone that
we can on the way. I don't have a whole lot on my mind to say this week, but
I'm glad that a feeble man like me can be employed in such a great cause. I can
only imagine what it will be like to fulfill this same role again when I've
finished, laboring among those that are being lead to the truth.
Questions and
Answers
Have you been able to
communicate with Elder Matt Whetten?
I send him my weekly emails, but I really haven't gotten
much from him. I'm sure he's doing well there in Oklahoma, and he was so close
to being called to the greatest mission on earth (not even a gram of bias).
Hopefully he's doing well, will read this email, and write me back or
something. No pressure of course.
Did you get the
package?
Yes. Most graciously yes!
If so, is it proving
useful to you?
I'm putting the GPS to good use. Elder Hovinghoff left me
with one of his to borrow until I got the one you sent me. Interestingly
enough, it's a larger version of the same GPS I was using of Elder H's.
Do you think that you
could use them if you received some more choir CD's?
Likely. I've forgotten how many I had left, but I could
definitely use some more.
So Elder Brough and I found these Star Wars ice molds in the
apartment and decided to have fun with drink mix.
Purdy happy to be hur. Lave y'all.
