Hello!
This week was alright! We were able to teach a few lessons
and did a lot of service! Pretty sweet! So we were able to teach the VP and is wife about the Book of Mormon! It went pretty well and they
committed to pray and read it! pretty sweet! They have had some crazy
experiences! There in some crazy fire and barely got out alive! They are going
through a really tough time but they are way nice people. We also taught the
VVs. They have had some really bad experiences with some unworthy priesthood holders
so we are working with them to see that they are not all bad! We are teaching
the Mom who just started getting back into things and has been coming back to
church for about a month now. and her daughter who was divorced and has 2
awesome kids that are both really young. We are working with them! Also a member has asked
us to start teaching his autistic son who is now nine years old. I guess he
just wants his son to understand everything better before he gets baptized.
pretty sweet.
So like usual it was a pretty slow week. We were ale to help
a catholic family move. They are good people. Their son
is a convert and served a mission but they aren't too interested. We help a lot
at the library and its good! We have gotten a good relationship with her so
that's is good!
The people here love beer and they love to smoke. Pretty sweet. Sorta. It smells terrible.
The woman above us has parties with her friends every Friday and Saturday night
and we can always smell the beer from upstairs. I'm just glad
they don't smoke!
I don't really know what else to say. Everything here is
really slow. This week was really hard to get through for me. I got an email
from my MTC comp last week that said he had received his visa and was leaving
the first week of April. I was pretty depressed after that but I have been
trying to stay positive. We had interviews with the president last Friday and
that was solid. He is a strict guy but he is good. I am going golfing today and
I am so pumped you don't even know. I am probably going to break someones
window but if that happens maybe it will give us an excuse to share the gospel
and tell them about forgiveness....
My comp and I spoke in church yesterday... pretty sweet. I
spoke on our duties as members of the church and how loving one another makes
doing those duties makes life much easier! My comp spoke on enduring to the end
and he did a really good job! Solid.
It gets greener and greener everyday here! There still
absolutely nothing out here... but the grass is getting greener which is nice.
Its so windy here. All the time!
Well all is well here and we are looking for
more service to do everyday! I hope all is well there! Let me know how things
are going! Thanks for those letters Dad! They were awesome! How is the play Dad?
Mom! Since you have a very intense knowledge of the deep
doctrines of our church I was wondering if you could send my comp and I some
cool deep doctrinal studies that you have learned! We are going to start
meeting with one of the members and have deep doctrinal study once a week! So
that would be sweet!
Well I love you all and I am doing well! This Church is true
and I know it with everything that I am! I cannot believe how quickly I have
seen my prayers answered and I am growing tons everyday!
Love
Elder Checketts
