Happy Mother's Day!
The highlight of this week was probably getting to skype home to my
family. That definitely makes it easier to go out and do the work; I
think, at least for me. People seem to make a big deal about
missionaries being homesick and not being able to focus on the work
after they call home, but at least for me, it kind of reminds me why I'm
out here. It reminds me that my family and I have been blessed so much
from the message of the gospel and that is something I want to share
with more people. So hopefully this week we will have more of an
opportunity to do that.
We have been able to start working with a couple more people this
week. Ricky and Charlotte are a couple that live on our street, and they
are way cool, super nice people, who have raised their kids to believe
in God and know the importance of living a good life. They have started
reading the Book of Mormon and I think things are going well with that,
so we will see where it goes. We also started teaching Laura and her
daughter Kaylee. They recently moved from California into a former
investigator's house, and we just happened to stop by and knock and they
siad they were interested. They have had some negative experiences with
some church members in the past, but hopoefully we will be able to help
them understand that it is the Gospel that is true, and sinners are the
ones who need to come to church, not saints. They are also reading the Book of Mormon and praying about it, and things are going pretty well
with that, so hopefully they will be able to see their relationship with
Christ grow through that process.
All in all, things are pretty good here. Hope things are going well at home. Take care and God bless,
Elder Hiatt
