Dear yous guys out there!
This week has been a pretty good week! The only down fall was that my
companion and I are both sick with the same thing and we have literally had it
for an entire week! It has sucked.. but we are both feeling a bit better today
which is good and I hope that we are going to progressively get better this
week.
Last week on Monday, we all played Volleyball with all the missionaries in
our unit with Brother Butts from the Greene Branch! It was so much fun and we
even played a little bit of basketball afterwards as well! On Saturday, after
Elder Sanders and I went to a dinner appointment, we went to McDonalds and got
some dessert since our appointment cancelled that we had right after the dinner
Appointment. As I was backing out Elder Sanders (yup still can't drive haha ) A
guy came running out of McDonalds and asked us if we knew a place where he and
his wife could stay. Elder Sanders told him that he didn't know of any place,
and I told him I just got to the area so I don't even know how to get home (I
was trying to lighten the mood...didn't work). His wife came out and stood
next to him and told us thanks anyways and told us God Bless. As we were driving
down the road almost to our apartment, Elder Sanders and I were talking and we
both felt super horrible that we couldn't do anything for this couple. Then just
like as if I was sitting in General Conference, the Voice of Elder Holland came
into my mind when he talked about, "You give what you can to those who
don't have anything, even if it is just a little bit, that can go a long way."
Elder Sanders and I both agreed that we needed to go back and give them a copy
of the Book of Mormon we found in the car. As we pulled into the opposite
parking lot, Elder Sanders and I emptied our wallets with what we had and stuck
it on the inside of the Book of Mormon with a restoration pamphlet. We walked
right back into the McDonalds and found the couple exactly where they were when
we left and handed them the Book of Mormon, and said, "We don't know where you
can stay, and we don't have much ourselves, but this is what we do have, and
we want you to have it and we hope that it will help you in some way." They took
it in their hands holding it and staring at for a little bit, and looked at us
with sincerity and said, "Thank you, thank you very much!" We told them we would
pray for them and we left. I felt so good after we went back and did that, I
knew that it was the Holy Ghost bringing that talk back to my remembrance so
that I can bless the lives of his children in some small way that I could.
I love you all and I have nothing else to say but
thank you to all of you! Especially those in my home ward (the Kimball ward) I
got a surprise package the other day this last week when I was on exchange, and
inside it was a homemade blanket made by the members of my home ward wishing and
hoping that I will keep going, keep staying strong, keep my faith and trust in
the Lord, as well as keeping warm this upcoming winter season. Thank you so
much, and all of you who keep not only me, but missionaries everywhere in your
prayers. WE feel them each and everyday and we are grateful for them and all of
you! I hope you all have a good week and that the Lord will bless all of you for
the good you do for others each and everyday!
