Good day my friends.
So it's been another lovely week
in St. Johns and Concho. Elder Milne is the name of my new companion.
And he's a cool guy. A lot of people have asked if we're brothers which
is strange because I didn't think we looked too much alike. The
conclusion we came to is that it's because we both wear glasses. And we
both wear white shirts. And name tags.
It was a
good week though. One thing we did was help some people with their
chickens. All 200 of them. Each of them needed their blood tested for
diseases, such as chicken pox and chicken-itus and other dangerous
chickenly diseases. And they had several different chicken coops full of
chickens. And so how we got their blood tested was one guy went into a
coop, he had us hold the door closed behind him, and then you just hear
the most terrifying noises while he was trying to catch them until the
guy finally comes out carrying several chickens by the legs. And our job
was to hold the chickens one by one and bring them up to the person
poking them with a needle to take their blood. It was quite an
adventure. And took it took a while too. It must've been one o'cluck in
the afternoon by the time we were done.
Also,
Robert was baptized on Saturday. And that was for sure the highlight of
the week. Which is saying something because that chicken thing was
pretty awesome. But I just love baptisms, and being able to see people
make that step in their life to come closer to Jesus Christ. And with
Robert, it's just amazing to see how far he's come in just the last 6
months I've known him.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is truly
amazing. And I have a stronger testimony of Jesus Christ than ever
before, and I've grown such a better understanding of His Gospel as
well. And that's the reason people are missionaries. As fun as helping
test chickens is, that's not actually the main reason I'm here. It's to
share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Which often includes serving others.
And sometimes we serve others by helping test their chickens for
diseases.
Well, it's time for me to make like your favorite sugar cookie dough and roll out.
Talk to you next week!
