Hello again Bevell family,
Yes, this last week has
been very fun from missionary work to meeting old friends, or friends of old
friends. lol.
Our appointments this last
week went really good. We set a baptism date with a young man named Shayden
Kuper. I don't know if I've told you about the Kupers yet. They are a less
active family that missionaries have been trying to reactivate for a long time.
Shayden is a very lively kid and is also very smart. We taught him the plan of
salvation on Sunday and committed him to be baptized on the tenth next
Saturday! He asked me to baptize him and Elder Bailey to confirm. (Ok he
actually flipped a coin.)
We are also having some
success with an older woman named Charlene (Shar-lean). She has been looking
for a faith for a while and was studying with the Jehovah witnesses for a
while, but didn't find their teachings to be for her. Us on the other hand she
likes a lot and is trying very hard to get work off on Sundays so she can come
to church. We have the Relief Society President come with us to a lesson and
they are like to old high school girls. They look like Aunt Bea and her friends
at tea on the Andy Griffith show!!! lol.
Gary, for lack of a better
word is AWESOME!! lol. We committed him to be baptized on the 17th! It's crazy
we only see him twice a week, for our lesson and at church. He doesn't ask
questions in lessons he just sits and listens to what we say and agrees with
us! I've said it many times but I am going to say it again. Gary has been
prepared to recieve this gospel and he is receiving it!!
Now to your small
questions. Yes, I am in a car. My bike is packed away in it's box. My asthma is
acting up but that's only cause it's cold here. (There I said it. It's COLD!!)
But my inhaler is still pretty full and I still have one more just in case. The
dietary pills are helping a ton. I'm on the last bottle and That might run out
pretty soon. I hope they are not too expensive. As for the insight I shared at
dinner, I will write that to you in snail mail. You will love it.
Sounds like you all have
been having fun again. lol. I am super jealous of Izaak for his scout camp out.
Lucky punk! I bet they have a video game merit badge now! If they do you better
get it little bro. For me if nothing else! lol.
And Breck I loved your winter formal pictures. I am glad you had a safe
group and fun. You are turning out to be quite the party animal. But I guess
you learned that from me. lol.
Oh! I almost forgot! Elder
bailey and I found a member who has a work out room and they are letting us use
it! We get up at about 5:30 and get there around 5:50. We work out benching,
doing push-ups and all that jazz. They even have a basket ball court and racket
ball! We are also running at night with our zone leaders. I am getting way into
shape now! lol. Maybe You will want pictures of the results. lol.
Well that's me for this
week. I love you all and look forward to hearing form you again soon! Take care
and stay cool!
