Man At The Market

We Pass This Guy Every Day

This letter is going to be short. I wrote President a nice long letter and then when I was getting ready to send it - the computer shut off on me. I had to rewrite it. Other than that - it was a good week! 

 

We are teaching a man who has been smoking for the past 64 years and he has smoked a little more than half a pack a day. He has now almost quit smoking completely. I read from Spencer and Meish's blogs that they gave their investigators gum. We tried doing the same thing and he loves it and says it helps so much. He says his life has improved in every aspect since we've been meeting with him. I'll have to send a picture of him. He's wonderful. 

 

I taught my first lesson in English this week! Last p-day we were at the supermarket and a man came up to me and said, "You are a Latter-Day Saint, right?” His dad said "They are Mormons." This man told his dad, "no, they don’t like to be called that!" The father apologized and we laughed and said it was ok and invited him to church. And he actually did come to church. He grew up in New York and went to school in Canada but his parents are Dominicans. It was so different teaching in English. I phrased some things really strangely but I loved being able to expresses myself a little more. He is very intelligent and analytical and loved our doctrine. We'll see what happens. 

 

We're still waiting for autumn to kick in and for the temperature to dip a little. But all is well! I loved reading Adelide's letter from last week. There really are moments that are so discouraging and exhausting. But we grow and there are moments that are so awesome and make it all ok. Thank you Chari for the treats! I am so excited to hear about Will's experience. Have a good week in SLC.

 

Peace,
