Hello Glorious family!!
This has been a great week! It has cooled off a lot. It has been
great for biking. We are so busy I sometimes wonder how we are able to
keep up with everything. We are teaching a lot of people. We have
meetings to go to. And people's lives to bless.
One of our investigators, Donna, came to church a few weeks ago and
loved it so much she said she will be coming every fourth Sunday. She
is super funny. She is in her seventies. She loves our visits and is
getting excited to come to church with us. We also told her about
conference, now she really wants to go to that. It is amazing to see how
people get excited over something I have had my whole life. To be able
to listen to a modern day prophet I had taken for granted. People who
have never even heard of a living prophet naturally want to hear what he
has to say. I am getting very excited for conference.
We met with Jim this week as well. He is our "eternal Gator." He
was feeling very sick, he had a stuffy nose, scratchy throat, and a
headache. We offered to give him a blessing. In his way he accepted. We
did so. We decided to go ahead and have the lesson only we would keep it
short. Not five minutes into the lesson he improved a little bit. By
the time the lesson was over he was completely healed. So much even that
when we went outside he offered to give us a ride home and I wouldn't
say he was leaping, but he had a lot of energy. That was really cool to
see. Hopefully he will use this experience in his progression towards
baptism. We love Jim.
I gave a baptismal interview this week. It was to a nine year old.
She was nervous to death. I worked with her to get through it. By the
end she was opening up more and more. She was baptized Sunday and had a
great experience.
I love the members here! They are so awesome! This is the best ward
in the best mission! Members go teaching with us, give us rides, and we
have dinner with them.
James and Julie are doing so good. They came to church for the
third time. They love it. We showed them the baptismal font and they got
more excited for their baptism on October twenty seventh. They are
getting to know the members. They are learning a lot. We are very
excited for them.
I love you all! May the Spirit be with you!
Elder Durrant
