Email #86 – New Plymouth, ID
Dear Bevells,
Sorry I didn't get
an email off to you yesterday. Everywhere to email was closed due to Memorial
Day. I'm assuming you all were busy with that as well as I didn't hear from
you. It's all good I understand.
So, this past week.
Elder Melchior and I were finally able to make contact with a former
investigator family who lives about 20 to 30 minutes out in the country, the
Burbanks. They have been seeing missionaries for years, but because of how far
away they live it has been hard to keep meeting with them. Their work schedules
are pretty busy at times. Anyway, we finally met the family. The Mom, one
daughter and the two boys are baptized but inactive, the oldest daughter and
the Dad are not baptized. Needless to say we were welcomed into their home
right away. The kids were excited to have us there and the Dad simply loves
missionaries. Conrad,(br. burbank) has some challenges to overcome. His wife
has told us that he does have a testimony of the church and did say that he
wanted to be baptized at one point. That point just isn't right now. We met with them again this last Monday and cooked
hot dogs over a fire and talked about Memorial Day stuff. The kids also gave
Elder Melchior and I nick names. They've done that for all the missionaries
they have known. Elder Melchior is Chewy because he likes star wars, and I am
Jj (Jeff jr. after the comedian Jeff Dunham.) lol, we have a lot of fun over
there. Hopefully we will be able to help the Dad and his daughter progress in
the gospel.
We met with Dave
again and watched "Joseph Smith Prophet of the Restoration" with him.
Afterwards we bore our testimonies on how we know that Joseph Smith did see God
and Jesus and that he was called to be a prophet and how through him we have
the fullness of the gospel restored to the earth. The spirit was felt and Dave
said he would continue to come to church! Now we just need to get him reading
the Book of Mormon.
Now how are all of
you? Hows the ranch doing? I hope you
all are doing good, I look forward to hearing from you soon! You are in my
heart and prayers. Stay cool!
-Elder Bevell-
