So, guess who got sick? Elder Wright
(haha). He got my wind. He doesn't have it quite as bad, I don't
think, but I'm not sure. He hasn't had a fever yet, so I guess it's
not that bad. He's been pretty sick, but we got him to the doctor
pretty quick, so he seems to be feeling better. He's been pretty sick
this week, but in spite of that we were actually still able to get
quite a bit done.
We were able to visit some people and
help them out. We are working on trying not to stay so long and have
the lesson be just a visit. So, we are trying to teach more, and we
did. It was really neat what happened. The Spirit was there a lot
stronger when we weren't just there for like an hour. We were there
for like 45 minutes or even less. We just taught... and the Spirit
was there. It felt really cool. It made a difference to people, and
they felt uplifted and so did we. It still happened before, but it
happened a lot more. When we were focused on teaching more that just
talking with them, that was a pretty neat experience. Yesterday was
awesome! We were able to do a lot.
We had some more training (haha). Elder
Call and Elder Donaldson came, from the Seventy did our stake
conference. We had a few meetings on Saturday and had to work with
the ward council, and there's a lot of cool things that are going to
happen. We are starting to work better with them, and get more work
done.
We ran into these two people who we
began teaching. We hope to really get them fellowshipped in. looks
like things are good because we are working closer with the ward
council. We are excited about that.
It's really fun to go out and help
people. We were able to really feel the Spirit, especially on Sunday,
but it makes you pretty tired too (haha). There is this really cool
lady we know that works at the book store that says I need to get a
tan (haha). But, I can't do that (haha) unless I'm, outside. And if
I'm in the truck or somebody's house all day, it's kind of hard to
get a tan. But, that's okay, it can wait.
I just want to bear my testimony that I
know the Book of Mormon is true. I know it has a power to change our
lives and to help us get closer to our Heavenly Father more than any
other book. I know that the Church is true. I am thankful for the
guidance and direction we get from the prophet and from the general
authorities. I am thankful to be serving a mission because it's
helping me grow a lot, especially in planning. We are becoming quite
the masters of our time. It's pretty cool. It will help me a lot for
when I get back.
I hope all is well. Everything is good
here. I'll do my best to send letters to various people who send me
letters (haha). Talk to you next week, bye.
Love, Elder Record
