hey dad, mom
Its good to hear that Nick is home and doing well. You gonna hook me
up with Pres Martineau's Address? email. This week was perhaps the
hardest for me and my comp in this transfer. We struggled to get any
appointments. Got some of the most outrageous door exchanges. And
most of everything fell through. On top of that. Visa won't becoming
very soon is what president told me. But the most heart breaking
story... Dillion and Deserie have been ready to be baptized and they
are so excited for it and so have her mom and step dad. We have been
asking the bishop to get their real dad's permission for the last 4
weeks. he finally went over to his house last night. Bishop told him
that his kids had expressed the desire to be baptized. The dad
Quickly Answered "that will never happen, you get off my porch and
stay in your church and don't come back"!! My and my comp were heart
broken. So sad. But someday they will be baptized. Just not by us.
Hopefully the lord will soften that mans heart. We have been doing a
lot of tracting lately and we are hopeful for a couple of people.
People weren't lying when they said a mission is hard. It takes more
of a toll mentally and emotionally that anything. But Alma 26:12...
We will do as Joseph said about enduring well..we will trust in God
and go on!
I don't have much time but i love you and miss you.
