We usually use the computers, but short email because I'm on the iPad
today. I can't thumb peck long emails on these things. They turn out
like that letter dad dictated to me.
As for the new comp, he is great. He is a great worker. He's from
Canada, which makes my fifth companion not from Utah. He's really
diligent, which is always wonderful to have - if there's anything
taxing, it's inconsistency. We're having a lot of success here, and
we're really trying to prep the area because we both get the feeling
some big changes are headed next transfer, and we want the area to be
stable.
We met lots of members last week, which was really fun. In this ward
is a stake patriarch, several born-in-the church RMs, and a former
Seventy. Very different from my last two branches. The bishop even
quoted PME to us the other day! We randomly met a woman who had been
less active for years thanks to her husband our first week here. And
Saturday, by a passing-by miracle, we found her again! She is going
through a really hard time and understood that the church could give
her and her kids some stability, because her life is all up in the air
right now as she's divorcing her husband. Instead of something I
usually do, Elder Aussant helped me to just listen a little more and
be a little less fuerte in the commitment invitation. And they
committed to come to church after a little, and they came! And we
followed obispo's excellent instructions and made them to sit up
front, far away from where the apostate excommunicated man sits. And
the great thing about this ward is that there was a strong YW group
who could help the young daughter feel welcome! What an excellent way
to start off. I see serious things happening!
More stuff occurred, but it seriously takes forever to type. Know
we're happy, healthy, working hard, building testimony, and declaring
repentance.
Elder Stew.
