Dear Family,
May I quote a favorite hymn #266-
The time is far spent there is little remaining,
To publish glad tidings by sea and by land,
Then hasten ye heralds; go forward proclaiming
Repent, for the kingdom of heaven’s at hand
Repent, for the kingdom of heaven’s at hand
Well it has been an interesting week. Lots of success balanced with a few trials.
First the trials: Tuesday and Wednesday I was slowed down a bit by a conjunctivitis infection in both eyes, another name for it is good’ole Pink eye. Both eyes were bloodshot and irritated. The winter breeze is blowing and it kicks up dust. It wasn’t much fun. Especially because I couldn’t do anything but close my eyes. I was so restless, it felt good to get back out proselyting. A busy missionary is a happy missionary.
The other thing was they shut our electricity off to half the house and we had to take care of it at the power company. Turns out there is 2 lines and we had only been paying the bill on one line. In this country if you don’t pay there is no grace period, it goes black.
Success is this week we should baptize ‘’ Grandma” our 64 year old widow friend. Other exciting things are we are working with 3 fathers who are working on obtaining a testimony and will lead their family along behind.
Sister White has got her Christmas tree up. It looks really good.
I don’t remember if I told you about Thanksgiving Dinner? I sat at a table with Cambodians and laughed at their comments and helped explain the tradition. A Thanksgiving I will never forget.
Alma 12: 33-34, 37
I am going to use and enjoy every minute as a missionary ! See ya soon!
Love your,
Son, Brother, Missionary
