Dad: What was the funniest thing
that happened this week?
I don't remember, we laugh a lot in the
car. I keep slipping on the ice because my mind preoccupied with
other things. That's pretty funny.
Dad: What were some of your top
spiritual experiences this week?
[name withheld1] is one of our less
active members who’s husband is probably a non-member, haha. I’m
not sure yet. He says he was baptized, but nobody is his family
thinks so. He was raised by his grandmother who was a seventh day
Adventist. He loves to have fun and goof off, but he’s got almost
the entire bible memorized. I’m really good friends with him. I
told you that he agreed to take the lessons when the baby came. A
week ago [name withheld1] went in for an appointment and was sent to
the hospital to get an emergency c section. She and the baby almost
died. She gave me a call and told me that they were doing fine now,
but it was kind of scary. We then planned to come by later in the
day if we had time, but definitely come the next day. I felt like we
should go the same day we got her call, so a little before 7 we left
for the hospital because we didn’t have any set appointments for
the rest of the evening. As we walked in she said, “Elders I’m
glad you came I was about to call you. The baby had something go
wrong with her lungs.” They enjoy our company, and our presence
really helped to comfort them because she was having a very hard time
emotionally. They asked us to give, and we gave, a blessing to the
baby. [name withheld2], her husband was there, and her nonmember and
best friend. The baby is now doing alright as well as [name
withheld1]. [name withheld2] was at church on Sunday with [name
withheld1] and [name withheld3] her sister. I was so happy I just
about cried, haha.
Dad: What are your companion's
strengths?
He cares a lot about the people and the
work. He has desires to serve his heavenly father. That is the
greatest thing I could ask for in a companion. He's is clean and
tidy. He's very considerate. He has a good memory and is a good
teacher.
Dad: What have you learned from
Elder Wright this week?
A lot about the Samoan language. More
on how to focus on people and not just teaching lessons.
Mom: Is there anything you need us
to send to you or that you are missing?
Did you get my email about the socks?
I'm running low and few pairs of those Mr Mac gold toe socks would be
awesome.
Love, Elder Record
