What a week!
It seems like these weeks are blowing past, but then when looking back at
how much has happened it seems like it has been long! I just have to say, I love
my mission. I love it so much, and I am so excited for Amanda to get out in the
field and have the same joy that me, Devin, and Jordan are getting to experience
everyday. Its a marvelous work!
This week has not only held many blessings for Elder Herrera and I, but for
our whole mission it seems. I am hearing about miracles everywhere. The number
of baptisms is really starting to climb!
One of our investigators, a 13 year old girl, spent the last
week at girls camp. All week long we were praying for her, hoping that she would
have a good experience and that she would be able to come closer to our Heavenly
Father. Yesterday, she came to church for the fourth time with the Young Womens
President, and we learned that it was a success! She had a grand time at camp,
and she told me that she couldn't wait until next year.. YES!! She was kind of
shy about telling anyone, but YW President told us how the 13 year old girl got
up in front of everyone and bore her testimony about how she knows that our
Heavenly Father loves us, and that Christ is our savior. She got emotional when
telling us about it because the YW Presiden has been involved with this girl ever
since we met her and her mom, and she has really grown to love her. What makes
all of this even better, is that the girls mom is really pumped now about
getting more involved in the church and she said she even wants to go to camp
next year! Lets just hope they both go next year as members he he. So tonight we
are going to have dinner and a lesson with the girl and her mom, and we are going to
talk all about the experiences she had at camp. I cant wait.
I was devastated to hear about Marci. It can blow your mind to sit and
wonder why things have happened how they did. But one thing we don't have to
wonder about is our Heavenly Fathers love for each one of us, and the fact that
he has a purpose and plan for everyone. I sure loved Marci, and I know that she
loved me and the rest of the family. But we all know where she is. Thank
goodness for the Plan of Salvation.
I love all of you so much and I am looking forward to another awesome week
with Elder Hererra. I am excited to update you next week and let you all know
whats going on here in sunny California. Have fun this week all of you. Love
you!
Love,
Elder Bradley Dillard
