Hey family
Well it’s good to hear everyone is okay and good. That’s was very scary to hear about Cody I’m glad to hear he is okay. You said he was acting weird how so? I’m healthy now just the old cough now. As I said I’m healthy, which I’m very happy about.
The real drama here this week has been that President pulled our car and gave it to the city center area in Belfast. This is ridiculous. We here in Derry have horrible buses and they stop running after 6 PM which means we can only work around our house at that time; the very best time to teach is after 6 so as you can tell this has been a big hit to the work here in Derry. In the city center the buses never slow down, and come every 10-15 minutes. However, our buses, the most frequent, is every 30 min. Once again you can see it was really dumb of president and has made me and Grone really angry. We have dropped lessons because we can’t get to them or investigators.
Janice is doing so well, Bob and Hannah came to church this Sunday everyone was very welcoming to Bob and those who meet Janice before welcomed her again; also the talks and lessons were very good. They both participated very well; so Sunday for them was a very positive experience.
We taught Janice and Bob the word of wisdom on Tuesday which went very well. Janice has never really had a problem with it, and Bob has accepted to re-live it again; he already wanted to give up the smoking. So we are going to be doing the smoker clinic with him to get him off. Some other really good stuff came from it. One of the sons is trying to get off smoking so we asked if he would like to try this and Janice said probably. He was not there to ask but we will ask him later. Then we asked Jason and he is going to go for it. So the word of wisdom ended up being a very good way to get the sons involved. We also got to do some service for Janice; we painted her bedroom a cream color including the ceiling; it was easy painting and it was good for them to see us outside of just the teaching situation. They both really appreciated it too. Because of the service now they want to feed us. So this week we will be getting fed by them. But Janice and Bob are really looking positive.
A really cool thing I just found out is Andre and Cicilia got baptized on Saturday. They asked Elder Sheppard to baptize them so I was very excited for Sheppard and for them both. It made me happy to know someone else I helped teach got baptized.
We had a baptism on Sunday just a member's girl, but it was a very good thing. Brother Neilson is from Utah and so his family flew out to see the baptism which was really good; so I got to talk to some Utah people again. Church was really full on Sunday for the baptism.
Well mom sorry this is short but I really don’t have much else to say; things have not been too exciting here. We have been doing a good bit of finding and nothing has come from it yet. We have gotten in touch with two of our lost investigators both were positive and said we could come back to teach them, so we will be trying that this week. We have zone conference this Wednesday I should be getting my birthday present from Sister Creer; it used to be brownies but now due to them going home soon they are changing things.
Well I love you very much; again sorry this is short but like I said not much is going on.
Love you much
