Dear Family & Friends,
What a week. First of all,
Happy Fathers Day to my Dad! Sounds like it was a good day, hope all of you
Dad’s got to relax a little bit, take a nap, or something.
This past week President and Sister
Sorensen did their mission tour. It's the same as what President and
Sister Vellinga will do when they get here. They came and met with our
Zone and the Toledo Zone at the same time. They gave us their last words;
kind of similar to a King Benjamin kind of thing. They both have truly
magnified their call and have touched every missionary who has had the
opportunity to serve with them. We had the opportunity to share a video
where we all put a picture of us and a statement of something we have learned
from them along with music. Then at the end all of our pictures start
popping up on the screen and we stood as our picture came up. After we
were all standing, the music for the Ohio Cleveland Mission song started up and
we sang it with them for the last time. It was a great meeting.
The weeks are all blurring
together. I can't believe its
already been over 3 weeks since transfers. Also, I was just thinking that
there should be a bunch of my friends coming home over the next year.
Jordan Saltmarsh should be home this month and I think actually Corey Wardell
will be home in August with a couple others too.
With Mariah we were able to find out
her hold up with being baptized this last week. Should be an easy concern
to solve, we will see tomorrow. She knows its all true; it’s just a
matter if it is "the season" for her to make the covenant. With
her church she allows missionaries to come in and preach. Elder Stone
went there on splits this last week and said its pretty crazy. A
little Pentecostal, Baptist, and non-denominational all wrapped into one it kind
of sounded like. It's weird because we are always on exchange when we
meet with her. So Elder Stone and I haven't met with her together.
So were both on different pages with her it feels like. She can only meet
Tuesdays and that’s the exchange day...so hopefully we can work something out
with her soon.
We are working hard and striving to
help Bishop Talbot change the culture of the Ward here. Things are
starting to roll and we are doing our best to help it along.
Well I sure love you all and pray you
have a great week this week. Good luck with Girls Camp the next coming
week.
Love,
