Dear Family and Friends, Nov.
5 2014
It is starting to get cold here but
nothing like at home. A jacket is not even necessary all the time.
It is so wonderful that it rained in
Oregon. It is a miracle to start your fast and have it rain that
day. It was a wonderful birthday present for Elder Johnston on
Saturday.
Elder Johnston was sent a package on
his birthday—we picked up and had the Elders with us. He handed it
to one of the Elders to open it while we were driving. They replaced
the present with missionary pamphlets and Book of Mormons. Then they
had him open it. “Oh, this is very nice, I can always use these.”
He said. The Elders really could not contain themselves and really
started laughing. What a fun thing to do. The elders are so great
and their teaching is superb.
We are experiencing many wonderful
things here. The spirit is strong in many of the homes we visit. We
have been showing the video” Because of Him” on mormon.org.
Such a powerful message of Jesus Christ. It really has made a nice
feeling be with us as we show it to people.
We have some wonderful people here in
our area. We feel so grateful to be here.
We had a young man drown last week. He
and his brother was very close. The mom was very concerned about the
brother, because he was not showing very much emotion and had not
cried. She finally asked him if he was okay. His answer was so
tender. “I remember what I have been taught at Church. I know
where my brother is and that I will see him again”
What a wonderful testimony for all of
us. The Lord does not leave us alone if we can only ask for His
spirit to be with us and except it in our hearts.
May the Lord be with each of you in
your own trials each day. We love and miss you.
