10-22-12 Email from Elder Devin Dillard

We had the best week, as far as finding and teaching goes, that we have ever had in our area so far! Sacrifice brings for the Blessings of Heaven!

What a true statement. We have out of nowhere gained a lot of people to teach. Its very very busy! Its amazing, the busier I get, the easier it is to get up in the mornings! Its as though the Lord gives us more strength because we are dealing with His favorite things, "His Children." I know that the Lord loves us. Too many coincidences so far in my short life that prove God wants all of His children to return home to Him.

I received a Karen name this week! My new name is " Tha Boe!"  It means, Sweetheart or darling, haha. That's what I get for having an elderly woman name me! I couldn't understand a word she said, ahaha. Karen people are from Myanmar or Burma. Many are refugees here in Minnesota. What an amazing thing it is to see them come all the way across the world to find missionaries. Missionaries who have had to learn the language out here because it is not taught in the MTC. Such a  blessing to witness someone truly speaking in tongues!   I love Dinky Town. It has a great potential to be my most favorite area of the mission. Full of amazing people from all different backgrounds. I am growing so much. 
It sounds like it's Colder in California where Elder Brad Dillard is than it is here! I'm sorry Brother! Hahaha...it's beautiful here!
Have an amazing week everyone!
Love,
Elder Devin Dillard
