This week was an interesting week - not necessarily in the
best of ways. Mother’s Day was wonderful
as was emailing home on Monday! I love,
love, love emailing home and chatting with family! It makes my day and sometimes week.
Being honest up front, this going to be a super short email
- only for the fact that Tuesday through Friday morning I was super sick. Being sick doesn't sound like a lot, but I
lost five pounds in that little stretch.
Let's just say, I would wish what I went through on my worst enemy - not
that I have any, but you get the point! So, that was a massive part of
our week when combined with our weekly planning, which darn near takes an
entire day.
On Friday night we met with Aliyah again and taught her the
Plan of Salvation. She basically taught
us again. It was a wonderful experience and she is still on track for her
Baptism on June 9th!
Now for the highlight of my week!
Brother F__ B__, the one that takes us fishing has been
coming to church ever since we first met him. He was inactive when we met him. No, we have both met him and his wife several
times... but we didn’t know she was a non-member. After being around us, she said she would
like to take the lessons! She has come
to church a few times. She has some
concerns, but nothing that can't be solved. I just look at this situation and think: What would have happened if we didn't ask
some questions about fishing that when we first met him? So much of his reactivation stems from a
simple question. That change has now led to his wife wanting to know why
we are so nice, happy and joyous. Let me
tell yah, it's not just the fishing, it's the gospel of Jesus Christ and
the comfort it brings all of us. Now who could have known that I would have
used fishing as a missionary tool... let alone being in the middle of the
desert, lol.
I'm sorry this week’s email is so short. Kids, don't get the stomach bug that's going
around - its death! But anywho, that last story is super meaningful to me. I'm
not sure why, but it's just been another day on the mission, another day I
wouldn't trade for anything!
I love yall.
Love,
Elder Connor William Dickinson
