Dear Parents,
My
allergies are pretty good so far but some of the other Elders are getting it
pretty bad. Maybe I'm still desensitized from my allergy shots. My
biggest allergy problem is still mold. Sometimes it feels like President
puts me in areas with moldy apartments so I will clean it up.
We met
D this week! We had an appointment on Thursday but when we arrived he
wasn't there. We weren't able to stick around because we had zone
training that we needed to get to. We came back the same time that next
day and he was actually home. There was a miscommunication and he was
expecting us an hour later the day before and had waited for us. We had a
really solid discussion. We asked him if he felt like he had a
relationship with God and he just started talking. He had been pondering
that exact question the previous day when we didn't show up and had realized
that he had lost much of his closeness with God. He then committed
himself to make time for God and time to meet with us as well as come to
church! We basically just asked questions the entire time and he taught
himself! While we never can tell if the people we interact with are
prepared to receive the Gospel at that point in their lives I am sure that
David is at least getting close. I think that we will see him baptized in
the next little bit but it is up to God's timing and his own decisions.
We are
realizing that I is really bad with a phone and haven't had much success
keeping contact with him. We'll see him this week though. We are
going to set him for baptism when we do.
Did I
tell y'all that Elder Hall's younger sister is serving in this mission? (Elder Hall was his trainer in Korea!) I
ran into her at zone conference. Her brother told her I was here and she
had been keeping an eye out for me. That was cool.
Sorry I
never have much time. We do more and more on the computers nowadays but
don't have much more time to do it all. I love the emails I get from you
and will try to send more pictures. Love you,
Elder Stapley
