Area: Trinity River / Liberty
Companions: Gamez/Reed, and Syrie
Well there is exciting news from this week, Ernesto got the Aaronic
Priesthood! Then also this Tuesday we got a call from President Drake,
Elder Croney, who was serving with Elder Syrie in the English ward in
Liberty, got his Visa and went to the Czech Republic, but they pulled me
over to the English ward that evening. This week as you probably know,
was pretty interesting for me. It was a great week though because Elder
Syrie and I have been really putting our faith and trust in the Lord. We
don't have too many people that we are teaching, but we were able to
follow the Spirit to know where to go to find people and to know what to
teach. In fact after President Drake shared his insights and the way
that some missionaries in his mission had been led by the Lord, we have
done that same method a couple of times and we know of two streets that
we need to knock, one of them is currently flooded and there is no way
of getting there. We were able to continue teaching Margaret S, and
we actually were able to go over and give her a blessing yesterday
because she wasn't feeling well, making it so she couldn't come to
church on Sunday, and she felt better immediately. She could feel the
love of God for her and she could feel His care in sending us to help. I
love the Priesthood and the abilities it has.
Speaking of Margaret, she is pushing forward with faith, she just ran
out of her medication and it was causing her to have pain and have
unclear thoughts, so the blessing was an immediate relief of that. She
is a very faith-filled person and she has a desire to keep learning and
feeling the Spirit. There is no doubt in my mind that she will be
baptized, but we have to push it back to a later date.
I am excited to be here in the Liberty Ward and work with the English
people, and I have been finding a theme in the people we come in contact
with. As we have faith that the Lord will lead us to prepared people,
we have been led to people who have had discontent with what they have,
or they have been to many churches and haven't found one that really
felt right. We look forward to teaching many new people, including
Ernesto C's sister, who we found yesterday while biking around.
The transfer ends on March 31st, so I don't know if I'll stay or not, I
have mixed feelings about it because I miss Spanish, but I love these
people.
I love you guys,
Elder Stanley Scott Dye
