Hello Again Bevell family,
Just a heads up you
have snail mail on the way. I'm trying to write you once a week for the rest of
my mission. Recent talks in church two weeks ago made me feel that I should so
I am.
Congrats Breck on
your final choir concert I so wish I could have been there. I would love a copy
of the DVD to watch it! So far all I have heard about Izaak is about his
science project. I wouldn't mind getting an email or letter from you little
bro. And Decklan is so very cute and I
can't wait to hold him!! I have the perfect nick name for him already and you
cannot stop me from using it. His nick name is "D"! Perfect isn't it?
lol. And Tell Dan and Braylon I'm sorry for not writing them as much. I'm not
sure if I have the right address for them. Could you let me know what's their
address is again? And Joshua is adorable
as well. And Sarah, Zephra and Jacob are so big!! Man I am getting so excited
to see all of you again!!!! My big trunky desire this week has been swimming.
Ok now to the
mission. My new Companion is Elder Melchior (melc-ier). He's from Denver
Colorado, has been out for 8 months and is tall. lol. We've been working hard
on finding through the members here in New Plymouth. This week we were able to
meet with two of our bishops and get a list of families that the bishops
believed could best help us. Its slow work, but the results should be very
good. We are also working with the ward council as well.
One cool story is
our last visit to a man named Toby. He fell from the roof of a tall building at
work and had to have his leg amputated. Whenever we went to visit him he was usually
asleep. He would stay in bed and was very depressed. We have been praying hard for him and our last
visit was awesome. He finally received his prosthetic leg! He was so happy as
he walked around on it. He says he's going to have flames painted on the sides.
lol. We were able to set an appointment with him, and he said he just might
start coming to church. It's been hard on him, but I do believe that everything
that has happened to him has and is leading him closer to the Gospel. It's so
amazing to see the Lord work with his children.
That's all I have
for this week. There's more in my letters to you anyway. Speaking of letters, I can't wait to talk to you all on Mother's
day! It will be so good to hear your voices again. I love you all and wish the
best for you! Stay cool!
-Elder Bevell-
