Hello Dear Familia!
I have thus again, survived another Transfer!!!!
Hahah! Yes! Elder Filby and I are going to have the privilege of terrorizing
St. Cloud, MN for another 6 weeks together! It will be a great time!
Update:
As for that family with the 2 smart girls, we are not teaching them anymore. We are all on good
terms, and we pray for them, but will keep moving til we find people who are ready now. As we do this, we fulfill our purpose of "Inviting all to come unto
Christ."
Suggestion: Don't make chocolate milk out of hot coco
packets..Not very good. I was desperate though, hehe.
This week for Elder
Filby and I was fairly slow for our own personal area here in St. Cloud. We
spent half of the week in Alexandria and Buffalo. I love going to these other
areas and working with these other missionaries. It requires me that I am being
obedient and keeping a positive attitude in order to lift those that are
struggling. Its awesome to see when missionaries keep and follow the counsel we
give. Even if it isn't good counsel, haha, the fact that they follow what we ask
them to do brings blessings. I notice it in my own life as I follow the Prophet,
and my Mission President. We may not understand or even see why they ask us to
do certain things, but I have a testimony that if we follow advice and counsel
of our leaders, all will be well. Of course it must be inline with the Lords
will and that is why we must rely upon God for all we do.
Every week I am
reminded time and time again that we must do all we can to have the Spirit in
our lives. Nothing we do is truly worth it, unless we have these spiritual
confirmations daily. I love this amazing Gift our Father in Heaven has given me.
Aren't we lucky? YEAH!
My heart aches for the Phelps family in Washington
this week as I've learned of the recent passing of Marci Phelps. I hope her
children and husband are coping. I've had a few minutes to reflect and what an
awesome lady she is. I say "is" because I know she is not gone. I am so happy
and blessed to know the things I know. I am not even sad for her. Some can call
me heartless, but think of where she is! My goodness she is the lucky one, haha.
How fortunate we are to know these plain and simple truths that nowhere else has
in this it's fulness. I am so thankful. I am sad, however, for the family.
Losing their mother in such a quick, unexpected way. Time will come soon, when
they will be reunited.
I miss you all so much! Thank you, thank you for
the knowledge all of you have contributed in giving me. Along with the love and
support! I don't know sometimes how I ended up having all of this which I don't
deserve:D
Love you!
Elder Devin Dillard
