Been
a good week New Year’s was great.We
found a couple new investigators, new miracles, new scripture reading, New Year's
Eve planning, New Year’s, new year new me, New Years, new born baby (kidding
didn't have one of those), and new stuff for Christmas.I'll send a few miracles off to you as long
as you promise to really read this email. You also have to promise me you will
send me a handwritten letter of acceptance to Hogwarts. Please do that I
would like to feel accepted to such a prestigious university. (It's been on my mind
because everyone keeps talking about that new movie). Okay here is what else has been on my mind:#1
it's cold. It's really windy. It's a little rainy. Sometimes
you need extra vitamin D (hopefully that's the one pertaining to the sun).We decided to have a great day when we woke
up Saturday
morning.After gorging on some pancakes,
eggs, & hanging with the zone at a zone breakfast we went out on the town.
The night before Elder Pabst said, "Let’s visit Beth". I said,
"Yeah, let's visit Beth! We were supposed to visit Beth months
ago... whoops". After the breakfast
we went to Beth's home & Elder Pabst said, "Beth doesn't live
here". I said, "What you talking about boy? This is where she
lives". He said, "Oh, then I meant we should visit Claudeen, not
Beth!" We decided to visit Beth anyway! After we knocked,
a kind young lady opened the door and told us Beth is her mom and that Beth
moved out a month ago. NOT TO WORRY! We just started teaching
Beth's daughter and she said, "I was talking last night about finding a
local church to attend. Does your church offer programs for the
children?" YESIREE!!!This
young lady actually just moved here from Oklahoma and needs to find a church.How lucky for her :).#2 Let's talk about a special
occurrence. This is small, unless you're us. Then it's a big
miracle. A set of sister missionaries called us with a question (I don't
remember what they even asked) and we answered the question.Then they said, "Is there anything we
can do for you two elders?" We said "HOLD ON" ... we
pondered for a quick moment and decided we wanted them to reach out to some of
the other sister missionaries in the area and put a smile on a companionship’s
face. They reported back that night to tell us that it worked! They
called the other sister missionaries and most definitely made their day. This certain companionship was having a super
rough day and actually needed some outreach. Small thing... but goes a
long way.Kind of like a hair of an
Elven warrior. #3 We went down to the temple with some of the people we
were teaching. We asked a returning less active member to drive us
down.When we arrived at the temple for
a special tour from the sister missionaries and a little temple gazing /
pondering action the feelings were good! Everyone was happy! The
tour was great, but mostly the people we brought decided to take a bunch of
pictures instead of pay attention to what the sister missionaries had to say.
Honestly it was kind of funny, but the less active returning member who drove
us all down, looked over at us & said, "This is the closest to heaven
I have ever been".He thanked us
later that night and we knew he was the reason we came to the temple this
night. We had asked 6 other people to drive us before calling this
certain member. He then texted us today saying, "Please prepare a
very special lesson for Wednesday when you to teach me, because I am bringing a
friend who needs the gospel".I
want to say it's a good day. It's a good day because I decided this morning
it would be a good day. Vancouver is great,the work is good, the baptism we were hoping
for did not happen this weekend but it will happen. The church is true. I am about to get a haircut... wish me luck.
