It's crazy to think that it is already December and I have
been out for 4 months. The weather here is still amazing. Upper 70's every day
with nothing but sun. It is fantastic! We had a great Thanksgiving Dinner with
some members in the ward. We had a big ol’ feast and then played some
basketball in the driveway after.
On Saturday we were able to bring Desi (the10yr old
investigator) to the baptism of one of the girls that turned 8. It was a great
experience for her, and she became friends with a lot of the kids there. We are
hoping this will make her want to come to church and hang out in primary. It is
hard to get anything done with them though because Desi's mom seems to be on
drugs all the time. Therefore she has 0 motivation to do anything and is always
bailing on anything we set up. It is pretty frustrating. But God will provide a
way for us to get through to her!
Saturday night we went over to a members house and helped
them Slaughter two of their turkeys. When I opened my call to Sacramento
California, I never would have guessed I’d be roping cattle and slaughtering
turkeys. But Wilton is just a world of its own! The member who we helped with his
turkeys, is a less active, so after the turkeys were taken care of, we went
inside and ate waffles for dinner and had a great discussion about the
priesthood, even though we had turkey blood all over us. haha
Fast Sunday was great. I love being able to fast for people
and bless the lives of others. I was also able to Bless the Sacrament which was
great because it has been quite a while since I have done that!
Crazy thought of the day: A member here was talking about
how they served at Adam ondi ahman and they were in charge of planting trees.
They were going to plant saplings but President Hinkley said "those won’t
work, there isn’t enough time for them to mature!" The End is near, Christ
is coming soon. Make sure you're ready. Don’t procrastinate your day of
repentance. God Love and Lives.
Love you all!
Love you more than I love this perfect weather! (still sunny
and upper 70's every day)
Elder Black
I received this email from a member. “ I'm sure
Elder Black’s time is almost over here in Wilton so I wanted to send just a
quick FYI. Today he and elder Johnson helped my husband slaughter 2
turkey's. Elder Black video taped and the three of them were being silly and
they were making the turkey dance and they where laughing like little boys. It
was beautiful. Then we did a country dinner (breakfast eggs bacon waffles
potatoes)to help get them through fast Sunday. Then a Q&A with my
husband to get him reactive. I love your missionary very much and will
miss him when he transfers.”
Love
