Hey
thanks for the email! Wow super shocking news about Stan. He will definitely be
in our prayers well as the Thompsons. I hope everything goes well with Brian
and Val as well. That is definitely a nasty situation.
This
week was quite good! We really worked hard and loved the people (which elder
Keys is a master at)! We again saw miracles near the end of the
week! Hermano Davila one of our members gave us this part member family
referral and we went and saw them that day. The member is Isidro Diaz who has
Parkinson's disease. The wife is basically taking care of him though he is
still up and excited as ever. We taught them the restoration and his wife Venus
loved it! We invited her to read the Book of Mormon and pray to receive an
answer herself. We also committed them to come to church the next day and they
said they would. Unfortunately we didn't see them there and we figured out that
Isidro is embarrassed and ashamed to go to church because he can't walk very
well or talk. So ya we are going to continue to tell him that that doesn't
matter and we'll get a member to come and help pump him up!
We
also have Cristian the bishop's son who kinda has just been going to church but
not wanting to take the step of baptism. We walked up to him and asked if
there was a time we could stop by and share a message with him and he said
"actually guys I was thinking about getting baptized." We were in a
little bit of shock but ya we are going to be doing that this Saturday so we
are pumped!
I'm
loving the mission and training and district leading. Challenging but fun and a
learning experience! Haha I’m also trying to learn to embrace the daily
trials we have in the mission, after all they are the best learning
experiences!
Man
I just think the mission is flying too fast. I still have so much to learn and
not enough time to learn it! Oh and by the way for Lindsay-- I agree with you
Mom-- testifying is the most important thing we can do. Without the spirit we
cannot do anything and testifying of the truth is the best way to do it. We
call it greenie power in this mission, but it's because the greenies are so
energized and excited and filled with the spirit (not that the old ones aren't!) and
their testimonies are so powerful! So no precupies Lindsay! Anyways Love you
guys! Have a great week!
Elder Dunn
