Our new member is doing great. He received the gift of the Holy Ghost yesterday. That was pretty cool. His roommates are members so he has a good support system and some of his best friends are on missions. The bishop had a chat with him about serving a mission, so he is thinking about that.
The guy in the hospital is still in the hospital. He is doing alright and still wanting to come back to church. His girlfriend also wants to take the lessons.
We find most of our investigators through member referrals. One of the investigators that we have is not in our area so we will have to refer him to the right missionaries. He is a great kid. We taught him the first lesson. It went really well. He didn't have any questions and was very receptive to the teachings.
We got to do a lot of service this week. We split wood and scooped poop out of horse stalls which wasn't too bad. I actually enjoyed it. Getting out of a suit and tie and getting back to working hard and getting dirty. I was a nice change.
I almost feed the deer that come out in the back yard today. I think a few more attempts and I will be able to do it, but that is just on p-days between loads of laundry and cleaning the bathroom and the kitchen.
There are times when the days are short and weeks are even shorter, but then there are times when the day are long, and it makes the time go by slow. But when I stop and think about it is not that long and it will fly by.
I love you.
Love,
Elder Poling
