Dear Executors,
What a hectic week on
the home front! Madness, truly madness! Things have been significantly more
mundane on my end, though I've always had a knack for not getting sick or
injured often.
My first full week
with Elder Eatchel and things are going well. Better than I had anticipated
really. Opening an area can be difficult due to lack of traction and that is
pretty much what we're doing. We have more connections now and hope to have
some member presents going on this coming week.
We met one interesting
individual who had interesting ideas about the second coming, he believed we'd
all just muck up the world do the point where our meeting of the savior is just
when we all die. Not the most invalid idea, but the scriptures say otherwise
and even if we tilt the earth off its axis and all burn up, Christ will still
return to the Earth and restore it sooner or later.
The package from the
Ward arrived, as did the calendar and so have the 2 packages from the family. I
could tell what a lot of them were without opening them though. Diabolical to
disallow me from having them now, I say!
We welcomed back a
return missionary and it appears her mother is extremely ready to join the
church. It's always important to remember that the young can still teach the
old and show forth an example. Let no man despise thy youth and all that.
So my bike. My bike was seriously injured a while back. It
was sent to Little Rock for repairs. I was riding it and
ended up going over a tree branch. It yanked the derailer up against the
spokes. A member looked at it and said that the part that broke was actually
intended to do so, so that if a crash happens it saves more expensive parts of
the bike from bending or breaking. They have yet to get back to me on that.
I'll be trying to take
more pictures this coming week, since I haven't really taken any since I got
here. Everybody be sure to continue praying! Prayer is supremely powerful.
-Elder North
