Hey!! :) its wonderful to hear from you and how things are going there! :) sounds like the rain keeps coming down and now that the crops are in that is a good thing! :) every one here is praying for rain! haha, it sprinkled the other day but that is about all. and it was hot enough that it was just really humid!! its got up to 101 this week and is 98 now! it has started getting hot in the apartment at nights so we open all the windows and crank all the fans and it is bearable! that is the wonderful thing about snowflake is it kools off in the evenings!! thank goodness, now it is getting up to 117 in the valley! so i am soo happy i am not there right now! :)
we just got back from the golf course!! it was a blast. we went with bro Davis who is a pro golfer so watch for him on tv ! ;) he taught us both so much... i could probley golf 9 holes now and only loose 5 balls instead of 15! ;) it was a blast, and really hot! :) but the crazy thing is i am starting to enjoy the heat...a little more! haha, we have the car till the 14th then it will be back on bikes, which will be a little harder but it will be OK!
my collar bone is still very tender and is hurting right now cause of golf but it is doing so much better! i will be able to get back biking here soon! yeyy! ;) haha, my bg's are amazing, its is SO cool, the lord is without a doubt taking care of my needs! :) i don't have too many lows and not very many highs so things are going great! I'm still good on supplies so doing Good there!
elder Stewart doesn't want to go home at all! he is excited to see family but that's about all! haha, its funny cause that is all his mom talks about in his emails and it drives him crazy! haha :) but he is awesome! i am so very lucky to have had him for this short time, with it could be longer but ill take what i can get! :) transfers are on the 15th i think...next Tuesday, what ever day that is! :) so that will be scary/exciting! :) haha.
ya we have a baptism this Friday. Kyle Hyde, and I'm not sure how it is all going to work out but ill probley be baptising him! so that will be a neat experience! :) we have 3 other ppl with dates as well. Janel McGill, she is doing awesome, we might have to push her date back so she can make it to church a few more times but as of right now its July 3.
Then we have Brandy Briant for the 26th of June so that one is coming up soon! she is awesome and i love working with her and clay. they are both growing so much from the experience of it all! :) and we also have Charlie, he is amazing, his only hold up on getting baptised has been social fears, but he is gaining a testimony and he actually came to church all on his own this Sunday!! so kool to see, so we will be setting another date with him on our next lesson! :) So things are going amazing! our teaching pool has doubled sense i came here so that is amazing to see, we have 14 investigators and hopefully 3-5 more this week if they will just hold their apts!! so there Isnt a lack of stuff to do! :)
my absolute fav. family that we are working with right now are Doug, Kaitlyn, Jordan, and Kenyon Bryant! they are the funnest family! went we first went there the spirit was not there in there home and there marriage was really struggling! we met with them last night and we asked them in the 4 weeks that we have been meeting with them, what changes have they seen? and they said their family! Kaitlyn starting crying and we had a amzing-spirtual lesson on the HG! wen we first started meeting with them they sat on complete different ends of the couch and there was a void in the family! now they sit together, read together, pray together, and it is amazing to see! they told us last night that they have been meeting with a marriage consultant for the past year, and there has been more of a change in the past month than in the past year! the gospel and its princables are the best thing that anyone could ever live by!
i am seeing instances every day where people turn to the savior and rely on them to help them through their trials. and almost over night you see a countenance change and a willingness to live right and as they do so they start to receive and reconize the blessings in their life that come from abiding by the teachings and princables of the church! its just incredible! I love it! even though i get people calling me a liar and spawn of the devil and where i am going and exactly how i am going to get there...haha...it is worth every min of it simply because of the difference the gospel makes in those ppl who's hearts have been softened and are willing to act!
the church is true, and the atonement is real! but in order for it to take effect it has to be applied first!
keep it up and good luck there! bailey enjoy summer! :) ill get some letters written to you all today! :) love you all and appreciate all the love and support! thanks for everything! miss and love you all so very much! keep in touch, Much Love
Elder Dalan Lerwill
