Happy Summer! Another enjoyable week on the mission! It
is getting pretty crazy to think that it is going to be wrapping up hear
shortly. My companion, Elder Crandall, goes home in 9 days, which
is also very weird. Anyway here are some of the highlights from the week.
On
one of the days we were able to meet with Marie. She is still doing pretty well
in progressing in the gospel. She is just going at her own pace, so it may
be a while before she is baptized, which is fine with me. If she takes a little
longer than most, then that's okay. We don't work with God at his pace, he only
works with us at our pace. At the end of our meeting she even told us that we
have helped her out a ton in her life, and she
said that when some of her life situations are figured out, she wants to
be baptized. We are hoping that is coming very soon.
Another big highlight of
the week was most definitely stake conference. Every single talk was given so
well. Sister Cooke gave an awesome take, President Cooke gave an awesome talk,
and another person you all may be a little familiar with, Dick Marriott (guy
who started the hotel business) spoke as well and he gave a very good talk as
well. The spirit was definitely there.
One of the highlights of the week for me
was our mission fast. As a mission, we all fasted starting Saturday evening and
ending Sunday evening. We all fasted for our areas and some personal things.
All my life I have been struggling with fasting and I feel like I haven't
really put to much effort into it. This time a tried to do better and it really
paid off. It was a much better experience then ones I have had in the past. And
over the next few weeks we will see the blessings coming from the fast.
Thanks f
