Hey there!
What a past few weeks! Things have been going crazy!
It was good to talk to everybody on mother's day, even though i was sick as a dog. im better now, and the work is going great!
We have a new baptism comming up in June. Michael Price is the 10-year old son of Stacey Price. She has recently started comming back to church, and has been bringing her children.
We have also once again reestablished contact with Meg and Autumn! things are looking up, and the spirit is giving me good vibes about it.
Veronika is doing a marvelous job at the assignemnts we give her, and it wont be too long now until she asks to be baptized.
Sue has also taken huge steps. She and Larry have moved up their marriage date, and she has stopped drinking coffee. We are going to try to set a baptismal date for her.
However, on the flip side (opposition in all things, right?), there have been some devistating things happening.
a person we know has relapsed back into a smoking habit
a mother and her son were murdered on saturday, by the mother's husband. supposedly he was not happy with their conversion to the church, and decided to settle his frustration with a hammer. the media has been in a frenzy. it will be interesting to see what kind of influence this has on the work and church in all of Mass.
Our District Leader was emergency transfered this last week because of a series of dramas that has been occuring in the zone. I really dislike drama, and its frustrating to see it happen amongst missionaries. Elder Nielson (AP) , and Farr (ZL) came to our District Meeting, and i was so emberassed because of the distrcit. Everybody except for Elder Johnson and I were acting like children. I cant see why people come on missions, when they are just going to act like 5-year olds. Dad told me not to murmur so much, so im going to have to repent for this letter.
I have to change back to myldsmail, but ive set my gmail account to forward all emails sent there to the proper address. Im still worried about the fact that some emails havnt been going through! i reply to everything i read, so thats an indicator for all of you to know if i got it or not.
Things are going well with the work here, and im loving the mission. The church is true, and there is no other way to say it. i have been pondering upon the phrase "one eternal round" lately. I guess its just intersting to think about the omnipotence of God, and how much he is watching out for us all, and knows exactly what we are going through and need. Prayer works, always remember that. and read the book of mormon! its the best handbook for life!! love you all, and pray for everybody. much love, take care!
