Hey family and
friends and friends of the family and my family's friends, and my friends'
families and...
Hope all is well.
So this past week has been pretty good. We saw a lot of growth, and
we're starting to know the wards better which is good. So funny
story...but not really...but ends up funny...so this 2 ward trying to feed us
thing had a slight explosion last Thursday when 2 different families were under
the impression that we were going to their home for dinner. We had
confirmed with the one that we thought was the one we were supposed to go to,
and didn't call the other. Well, the other assumed we were coming
over...they both had invited friends over. The one we didn't go to was
mad. The meal coordinator was upset. Not a good way to start.
Ultimately, we had gone to the correct house for dinner, but that didn't
help appease the other. Obviously, it wasn't malicious or anything, but
we decided to do what we could to mend any broken trust/relationships. We
ran to the dollar tree and bought some cookie dough stuff and some smiley face
balloons. Hurried and baked the cookies, and then delivered them in what
was supposed to be a clandestine manner. Well, the second wasn't so much
as they just happened to pull into the driver the moment we set it on the
doorstep...haha. But I think it helped out overall. I don't think
I've ever been such a middle man in all my life. :)
So back to life.
Sorry I didn't inform you of my companions’ names and such. One is
Elder Buckner from Cedar Hills, UT (near Alpine), the other, Elder Bentley is
from Mount Pleasant, UT (near Manti); he actually went to Snow college, so
he was wondering where Chris will be staying. I forgot to report
letters last week. I got 50 51 from mom (weird that it's almost 52...half
way...) 2 from grams, one from Christian Rock, Kati Kamas (have I already
mentioned that??) and 1 from DJ, which funny story about that...I got the first
page of the letter he wrote to me and the last page of the letter he wrote to
Holly. I was super confused for a moment when I was reading it because it
just jumped from one idea to the word Logan and then explained some about
Karolyn. As I kept reading, it said something about doing a good job in
Italy and that's when the cat came out of the bag. Just BTW...so if you
want to send me the rest of my letter, I would enjoy reading it, maybe not as
much as Holly did ;) tee hee
Mom, way to be a stud
on sharing the gospel. Keep it up. All else...follow path ;)
So, I don't really
have any stories to tell you this week minus the fact that there is a ton of
work to do in Wake Forest. We have one family who is the soon to be wife
and 2 kids of a returned less active member who should be baptized at the end
of next month or so. The amazing thing that happened yesterday is that we
learned they had just bought a marriage license and also they stayed for all 3
hours which was a huge step, her separating from him for Relief
Society. Miracles do happen.
Oh, and I will be
getting a new companion this Friday. So the trio will be through.
He's a visa hold and I will be training him. Super exciting.
President called me this morning. So, we'll be splitting back up to
our ward boundaries. Good stuff. We have a huge district though.
My last had 6. This one has 12.
Keep it real.
I know our Savior
lives and loves us. He always will
Love,
Elder Patty
