Not much time this week...
written 1 Jan 2018
Sorry about that.
Well, hello everyone! I hope all of you had a fantastic Christmas and a Happy New Year! It sure has been great here. Updates on current investigators:
Jessica - She's not doing as poorly as she was before. She's on the slow up-and-up, but still not reading, praying, or coming to church. She's just not as depressed as she was before, so there's some hope. We could only really stop by once this week.
We haven't been able to meet with any other of our current investigators for a while because of the holidays (and them being out of town and things), but I have 2 more things to share quickly:
Ramon and Selenia - Selenia was an investigator a few months ago, but Ramon has never really talked with missionaries before. We decided to go by one day, and it happened to be one of their 2 days off every week. They work a LOT. We set up a return appointment for tonight, as they've been missing the regular missionary visits!
And one more thing: This Saturday, I had the immeasurable blessing to be able to return to Zillah for the baptism of David, Albert, and Winterhawk "Bubba" Munoz. Elder Rigby and I found them and began teaching their family together, and they finally got baptized only a few days ago. David is the dad, Albert and Bubba are his 2 boys. Priscilla, his wife, and the rest of his family also attended and are finally showing some interest in going to church and really looking into the Gospel. That is such very, very, good news. I'm so happy for them!
I simply want to end with my testimony that truly, God is still a God of miracles. They do happen, provided we have the faith. They happen because of Jesus Christ. They always have, and they will continue to happen because of the glorious truth that He lives!
Love,
Elder Adams
Questions from Editor Mom
OK, Question number one: How did you spend Christmas Day after we talked? - Well, we studied, then had dinner, then tried to visit people, but they weren't there, so we then spent the rest of the evening cleaning off peoples' cars.
Of course, please tell us about transfers and how they affect your district. - They actually don't! Everyone is stickin' around, and Elder Reusch is going to be receiving a greenie from the MTC (or CCM, depending on if he went to Provo or Mexico).
How was your Christmas District meeting? - To what exactly do you refer? Are you referring to the District Meeting that happened right after Christmas, or are you referring the the one right before Christmas, or the missionary Christmas Brunch? Assuming you mean the District Meeting itself, right after Christmas, it went really well. We talked about the character of Christ, how to be more like Him, and how to rescue the 1 out of the 99. It was good, and I think we all left edified.
Have you managed to make your district laugh yet? - I honestly have no idea. Probably.
Who taped your Christmas talk, which I found very meaningful, by the way? Whoever did has a very high opinion of you. Makes me proud. :-) - She said she has actually talked with you, and complimented your Spanish. She also said you were a very nice lady. She is very nice to missionaries. She also sent a video of me singing Joseph Smith's Fist Prayer after our fist dinner appointment.
Do you have any New Year's resolutions? - Yeah I do! I have some more detailed goals, but overall, it's all about redoubling my efforts to be a more obedient, diligent, and effective disciple of Jesus Christ. There is nothing so sweet as the news we can repent. Isn't it great?
How are your investigators progressing? (Feel free to share this in the main letter.) - I'll do my best :-)
Love,
Elder Adams
