Hey sorry I'm a few days late. I forgot to let you guys know last week but this week we had our temple p-day. So we're emailing today instead of Monday.
Not too much has happened. Or at least I can't really remember anything right now.
We've dropped most of our investigators. There came to a point that a lot of them just weren't progressing at all. Of course we kept our solid ones. But most of them are OUT! So we're leaving a lot more time for some good ol' finding this week.
Steve is still doing very well. He still hasn't come to church though because of health issues. He can barely leave his house sometimes. He told us a few days ago that he's having this crazy eye surgery next week and he's going to be in Seattle all next week. So that's kind of a bummer. But he's still so solid and we're so excited for his baptism. We also were able to give him a blessing for health for his surgery. As I was giving him that blessing I could feel so much love that Heavenly Father had for him, it was a very amazing experience.
We got an unfortunate call from Coby yesterday. He told us that he wasn't sure if he wanted to continue meeting with us anymore. He just didn't know if this was the path that he should take. What made it really awful was that a few weeks ago he was more than ready. And he wanted it too! But a lot of things just got in the way and he hesitated. It really goes to show that when someone is ready for baptism, then do it!
Dharma moved--again. But not too far. She's still within our zone but the place she's staying right now should only be for a few more days. Her mom informed us that she should be moving in with her grandpa who lives in College Place! So hopefully that will happen soon so that we can start teaching her again and get her progressing towards her date!
Last week we graduated from the High School... to the University. After we taught the class at the high school, one of the university professors contacted us and wanted us to come and teach in one of his classes! It was actually a lot better than the high school. They were much more respectful and asked really amazing questions. What was also really amazing was being guided by the Spirit. There were times that they would ask a question and I would have no idea. But I would pray for the Spirit to guide me to what to say and my mouth was filled. Very amazing. The Spirit there was so strong. Especially when Elder Shugart and I taught about the first vision. It was hard not to get emotional because the Spirit there was just so thick.
Well the temple was great! As always... And actually for the first time I saw a different video! Each time I've always seen the same one. It was an amazing experience. I always love going to the temple and feeling the incredible Spirit there.
It was pretty sad hearing about Elder Perry. We found out a day later at church and realized that when he did pass away, Elder Shugart and I were giving the time of reverence for a baptism in the district. We played a Mormon Message on the Restoration with Elder Perry. I remember his testimony giving me so much strength at that time. It's amazing to see these men who are called of God who have such strong testimonies that it continues to live on, even when they leave.
I love being a missionary! And I love serving others. There are so many amazing things happening in this area. And it's an incredible opportunity to be apart of it.
Thank you for your prayers,
Elder Scott
