Hello Family,
Scripture of the Week: 1 Nephi 13:37
Well it sounds like all is going quite well there on the home front. Which always makes me happy to hear. Dad better be careful, we dont need to be loosing any limbs while trimming hooves. crazy guy. (I almost said crazy old man, but we will wait a few years till we start calling him that). Ah man sounds like preparation for the fair is in full swing. i miss that alot. I also miss rodeos. Did you know they dont have those in the east? can you believe that? what kind of life would that be? yea no thanks not for me. So glad to hear lando made it home safely. They all look very happy to be back together in all the pictures. Elder wells was excited to see the plane. (he flies one just like that back home)
Sounds like everyone beat me to the punch in telling you about my week, it was really a great week. Seeing the Gregory family was such a treat. Not many people can say they got to go back to an old area and have dinner with their first convert while still on the mission. They are doing so well though. So great to see how much bro Greg has grown in the gospel. He is such a solid guy. Being able to be part of his conversion was such a fantastic blessing. Love them so much.
Also very neat the Gorhams got in contact with you. We had a few minutes left in our time in Lyndon, and i felt very impressed to go visit them. Just great people. love them alot. It will be great for you guys to meet them when they come out to bear lake in june. All in all the lyndon area is doing really well.
Friday we headed to newport, and i really only remember one part of the day, that was lunch with grandma pat. She is still such a great cook. no wonder i gained 20 pounds when i was there. Ha is showed her a picture of when i was there and now, she laughed at how fat she made me. It was just so good to see her. She is doing well for the most part. The stuff with Cecil is starting to drag on her, but she is a trooper and will be ok. Cecil is still hooked to IV most the time, and has had his voice box removed, but seems to be slowly regaining strength. Even he was excited to see me. I never saw him smile as much as he did this week when i was there for 41/2 months. Pat was just telling us how she feels overwhelmed and run down, so we taught her about blessings, and then i gave her a blessing. it was amazing. After it she goes "i feel lighter all the sudden and when you were doing that my hands were tingling". such an amazing lady though. It was such a blessing to get to see her again.
well that's the short of this past week. all in all a great week. This work is such an amazing blessing. i cant imagine my life without it.
Whats happening this week??... well today is the 1st monday of the month and tomorrow the 1st tuesday, so that means we have leadership meeting. So today driving to pick up missionaries. tomorrow we have the meeting, and then driving them home. Then the rest of the week we will be preparing for transfers, as they are next week. Not exactly sure what role we play in transfers, but i do know we will be plenty busy.
Oh i almost forgot to tell you about the visit at the JSM. It was amazing as always. That place is just fantastic. words cant really describe the feeling there cant wait for yall to get to go there with me.
This church is no doubt the one and only true church. Thank you for helping me get to where i am so that i can serve our heavenly father. Read the Book of Mormon each day, even if it is just a verse.
love you guys
hold to the rod
