I'm a bad person. I didn't email
last week. Yeah yeah yeah... I know. There are just lots of frisbees to throw
and not enough time...
So quick overview... in the last two
weeks, three baptisms.... sorta. Technically two of them actually happened the
week before that but they were confirmed last week because of the area broadcast
to almost all of Utah, kind of like a baby General stake Conference ;P lots of frisbee.
So good times. We were also all supposed to die two days ago, but you're all
still here so I guess you're righteous ;P uh what else... I'm going to General
Conference this time around! Good stuff. I'm actually going to be driving
everyone that the assistants aren't driving... all the way from Vernal to Salt
Lake and Back.... I've driven out of the mission a lot, and spent lots of time
there, and driven more extensively than most missionaries, and I've just driven
a lot more too... but normally it's been mountain roads and little used
areas... this'll be an adventure. I wouldn't say no to prayers ;P
Haha I remember the first time
driving back into Provo, during rush hour, coming out of Spanish Fork Canyon
after spending, I think, 5 months or so in Ferron where there is only one
stoplight in the whole county and it's over half an hour from where I was
living.... that was pretty scary. I adjusted pretty quick but it was still
quite the adventure.
Anyway back to overview, I'm gonna
send some pictures (side note from his mom: he forgot to send the pictures) from
several weeks ago when we hiked the U, they're pretty cool, oh man.... you
missed a lot. I just looked at the calendar for the last two weeks.... yikes.
Played Durango Boot for the first time (Casey always wanted to play it but we
never had cones, it's a pretty intense team disc sport where you have to knock
over cones with the disc), had president interviews and requested a stake
president chastisement for some of the members of my district.... that was an
interesting talk. Went to 3 baptisms that weren't ours, including one in
Spanish (have I ever mentioned that I actually really enjoy singing in
Spanish?) one of which led to a massive miracle the next week, DH, who has been
attending church for over 3.5 years and investigating told us he wants to get
baptized. Also a bunch of baptismal interviews scattered in there and the
fastest most in depth Commandments lesson of my life.
3 exchanges, a wedding Skype, lots
of bible videos from another church, two Saturday morning breakfast parties,
one with Ultimate and one without. 4 primary programs, skyping into a 4 hour
meeting for trainers and trainees... a couple service opportunities, a lot of
weirdness, and other good stuff. So here's what I'm thinking.... actually let
me make this big and bold so people actually do it...
-----------> WHICHEVER OF THE
THINGS LISTED IN THE OVERVIEW ABOVE THAT YOU WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT OR HAVE
EXPLAINED, JUST COMMENT ON THE POST AND I'LL TELL YOU NEXT WEEK
<------------
And now, a message from our
sponsors....
Sorry no message after all, we were
gonna go eat with our best friends, the Vernal Elders, and the Uintah sisters
so I was gonna have everyone take turns writing paragraphs but then stuff
happened and we ate alone :( sorry, maybe next time :P
Have a great day, have a great week,
have a great life.
Love,
Elder DeFord
