We have been out here 6 months now, where does time go to? Last week was not quite as busy as the week before. We had a lot of appointments fall through. We have two elders leaving; Elder Raybe is through with his mission and Elder Smith has been transferred. They both knew it was coming so they slowed down towards the end of the week. We hate to see Elder Smith leave. He has been with us the whole time we’ve been here. Really a good Elder! Tomorrow we get two new ones. Hope they are dynamite! The two ladies that were baptized two months ago haven’t been out to church since our last two Elders left, they were the ones that baptized these two sisters, and they became very attached to those Elders. There has also been some health issues with both of them, hope that is the reason, we keep seeing them and calling them!
Our Rozenna, (the tooth lady) wouldn’t go back to the dentist this week so now if she feels better we are going to take her in tomorrow. The poor thing is so scared, I don’t blame her, she has only three teeth left. We’ll see if she will go by tomorrow.
The 4th turned out to be real fun, we had invited the missionaries to the house for dinner, others in the branch started asking about it, so we turned it into Pot Luck and held it at our branch. We had over 30 there, tons of food, then we showed the movie 17 Miracles, they all seemed to enjoy it. There was a lot of fireworks going on up and down Frankford. We didn’t go out to watch any of it- we were all too engrossed in the movie. Sounds like everyone had fun with their families, (we sure missed ours)!!!
Sun. was fast and testimony meeting, as we know it was for you too. We started with 6 people there, but by the time the Sacrament was all over we had a really good group. About 10 bore their testimonies. It was a wonderful, spiritual meeting. Pres. Burno was back- he isn’t doing much yet as head of the ward, but he looks a lot stronger and is doing a little more each day!
We had the elders over for dinner yesterday. We wanted to because of the two leaving. It was hard to tell Elder Smith goodbye. If we don’t take Rozenna to the dentist tomorrow, then we will go into the Mission Office and see where Elder Smith is being transferred to.
We have been watching a lot of the little messages on the ipads the elders show to investigators. They are so wonderful. I can’t believe the extra miles the church goes to for missionary helps. Each of them has a special message for a certain subject. They are so wonderful for that little extra push of the Spirit to help out a lesson or to get a point across. The investigators just love them. Each one we see strengthens our testimony so much. How can people question the truthfulness of our church? We are so thankful to be out here. Our love for the gospel has grown a million times, especially because we have taken it so in stride my whole life. How come we were all privileged enough to be born into the gospel? That blessing alone is enough for all of us to have none others, yet we all have so many more. We know we have the best family in all the world.
Thanks so very much for your love, support and prayers, WE ARE SO BLESSED!!!! Glad all the Doman’s got home safely, that Harrison arrived safely, that you all sound well and happy and are trying so hard. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!
Our Love to all of you, Mom & Dad, Grandpa & Grandma + plus Greats, Karl & Joyce
