Hey Family,
So for transfers Elder Willhite is leaving
which I’m sad about, and I'm staying and training! Ah man it's gonna be
crazy and I'm super nervous but pumped! I wonder what the Lord has in store for
me! Most of the zone is staying as well. In my district though West Palm
Beach got white washed so both companions are going and new ones are coming in
and all are training! So I think they might just bring two elders in to replace
the sisters so I won't have a relief society district any more. The ZL's are
staying and a lot of people are already training in the zone so ya it should be
good!
Haha ya we were kinda disapointed but at the
same time glad that the hurricane didn't hit. Ummm for the week it was
quite interesting. We were helping Felicia our investigator progress towards
baptism but she still drinks coffee. So we were trying to help her with that
and she's not addicted but sometimes drinks a little bit in the morning. We helped
her realize that she can have the spirit with her more and can feel God's
light. Then when Sunday came we found out she didn't want to go to church, we
didn't know why. So we found out that she was kinda losing her excitement about
her baptism and certain things that didn't go her way frustrated her. Like for
Stake Conference I think they got her the wrong earphones for translation so
she didn't really understand much and things like that. She wanted us to stop
coming by. Somehow though with the help of the spirit we were able to help her
realize that those things are trials and things satan does to try to stop us.
Elder Willhite and I were praying the hardest we ever had during the lesson to
be able to bring her the happiness and peace that she needs from the gospel in
her life. She agreed to continue and we brought an awesome member over the next
day to help solidify and encourage her so she is doing good! Christian we
haven't met with recently because he's been busy with school starting etc. It
sounds like he needs to actually strive with real intent to find his answer,
though I totally understand that it's kinda hard to do that when you are
16. So with my new greenie comp we will be working hard on finding those
that want more peace and happiness in their lives and we are especially going
to work with the ward to accomplish that!
Hmm random facts section: We went to this place
called gordo burger during the week. It's a 2000 calorie burger, I will send
you pics next week. It was pretty good! Also Elder Willhite and I gave talks
for the first time in sacrament meeting here! It went really well! Mine
was about 8 minutes and haha elder willhite's was like 15, he did super good!
On the bright side it only took me like an hour to create my talk so I was proud
of that! Thanks for all the updates on missions and how the ward is doing! Cool
story with Sister Young! That's a cool missionary experience! I'm glad Preston
and Trevor are going on missions! Haha and nice boating story dad with the
Priests and Teachers. I remember when we were at the last family reunion and
Max and I stayed on the tubes forever and so the next day we thought we were
big shots and then you threw us off in like the first 5 seconds... good times
;) Anyways I think that's all but I love you guys. Be safe! See ya!
Elder Dunn
