Week 5

Hello Family
Well I honestly can't believe how fast this last week went by, (and that I have already been on  my mission for an entire month) I totally lost track of the days and I am so absorbed in the work I haven't had time to even begin to think about much of anything else...it has even worked it's way in to my dreams, my companion and I were up around 1:00am on Sunday night because I was sleep talking about a little boy dressed in white trying to wake me up because he needed to be baptized...yup that is how I know I am missionary is when I am dreaming about a boy asking to be baptized! All in All the work is fantastic, I am having a blast and have never felt closer to my Heavenly father.
Now here is my assignment to each of you
1- obtain a copy of preach my gospel
2 - Read from it at least 15 minutes a day (personally or with your spouse or with your family)
3 - When you write me (or Sister Blood) share with us something you learned in Preach My Gospel and how you applied it that week in your daily life and how you feel that we could use that principle in our missionary labor. Preach my Gospel is a tool for members and missionaries alike. Good Luck

I am kind of bummed I forgot my camera cord so all the photos I took from what was a fantastic week! will have to wait till next time, but lots of fun, super busy...

So for st arters this week The City and County asked us to come so they could present us with a formal certificate of appreciation. and they gave me a copy of this front page headline for the state newspaper...It was fun to talk more with city and county people we worked with now that things are back to normal, I even met someone who lived in logan UT and works at a ski resort in Mountain ops just like I did. Alright so this story will be further elaborated in my written letter, but long story short, Alan tells us his toilet won't flush, so we know  a ward member who can fix any thing, the ward member comes over with a plumbing snake, says well that isn't the problem...he takes a look under the house in the crawl space and discovers a pool of "goodness" (use your imagination) John (the member) tells us what to do and how to do it. and we set to work. First step is we had to break through the old rock foundation of Alan's 1940 home and dig an access trench  to...

I just want to share 3 experiences and 3 miracles in following the spirit. Obedience entitles us to the spirit and then be obedient to the direction from the spirit. We were driving in-route to our apartment for an overdue lunch, when I saw, a mother and her 3 children on her porch and just as fast as I saw them we zipped right on past, but the spirit so immediately said...stop and go talk to them...Not wasting a moment I explained the prompting to Elder Davis who was driving and he parked the car and we walked back...to find the father outside working on his weed-wacker...we simply and honestly explained who we were and that we felt prompted to come back, His simile was so large and he immediately asked..."would you like to meet my family" to which we replied "of course!" and out came three of most adorable little girls and his expectant wife. Charming family, married for 5 years, has a car and a job and recently moved into the neighborhood as  of that we...

So much happened this past couple of weeks and it feels like time just keeps moving faster and time to type gets shorter, I will do my best to sum up a few of the highlights of the weeks. Exchange with Cave Spring Elders/Elder MacDonald's Surgery - An elder in our district Elder MacDonald had been suffering from some headaches and major dizziness for a week or so after some usual remedies didn't work he was recommended to go see a doctor, who after learning his heart rate was dangerously low, he was shortly admitted to Lewis Gale Hospital. The gave us a call shortly after and we met them at the hospital. As this all unfolded it was concluded that Elder MacDonald needed a pacemaker...All went well and after 3 days He was able to return to missionary service and did not have to go home:) As I watched all this unfold I was amazed at how many people involved were touched in little ways. One of the largest was the opportunity to Elder Wilkinson to feel the fulfillment of support...
