Dear Family,
This is transfer week! I am staying with Elder Till in the Desert Breeze Ward!
This week has been pretty eventful! I was sick from Saturday to Sunday and I still don't feel 100 percent today.
We helped with a move on Saturday night. Well the other members of
the Zone helped while I laid down on the couch. After the move I
received a priesthood blessing. Its a really different experience to be
on the receiving end of a blessing, while being sick. I have not
received a blessing like that since I was probably 14. It reminded me of
a time when I was really young and we were visiting my grandparents in
Idaho. We ate dinner and I apparently liked it too much because I
swallowed a huge piece of chicken. Well it got stuck in my throat, just
enough for me to continue to breath. It was stuck for a few hours.
Finally, my brothers came over and gave me a blessing. Immediately
following the blessing the piece of chicken came out of my throat (you
can imagine how). Such a great experience! I will never forget that! It
will always remind me that Gods power is real!
We were able to set Brian with a date for baptism. We still need to
teach him some principles and a few more lessons but we think that he
will keep progressing well!
This next week is Stake Conference with Elder Holland! We are so
excited! The Stake is going to reserve a few rows of seats for our
investigators/recent converts and us. We are so happy we have seats!
Well... Sorry this is so short but I'm not really focusing too well since I still dont feel better... So I love you all!
Love,
Elder John
