hey there fam!
well... it was a rough week... but in the end it was awesome! well my companion and i have been studying patience and hope. and the Lord has given us many opportunities to develope that. funny how that works right? well this week we had many hardships... many investigators fell off the face of the earth, or cancelled our appointments, or we just couldn't find new people, and we were struggling to reach our goals. BUT in the end, things worked out for the best. we tried to continue to be patient and hopeful. haha it was funny because we were fully aware of what was happeneing to us. (it was still hard). at the end of the week we were able to see that we did well working to get our goals. it seemed to be the last 2 days of the week that things really made a difference and we saw many blessings. similiar to the story you shared with me dad (thanks for that!) i know that we really are blessed and can see miracles, but not until after the trial of our faith.
jesus is still doing great! he hasn't smoked and although we moved back his baptismal date for october 8th, it's going great. he actually said that he feels good about changing it back. he said it's something he wants, and he knows it's serious. so he's going to prepare the best that he can. i can explain how great it feels to work with him. he's been searching for truth his whole life. he was bitter toward religion for a long time, but now finally has been finding his answers.
my comp and i are doing great together. and i can't believe i'm turning 22 soon. strange. i don't really want much for my bday (i'm sorry but i purchased an electric razor so that's why i went into my personal funds). BUT there is a tiny thing that i do want... instead of gifts for my bday or christmas, can you just start a 'fly derek to utah as soon as he gets home' fund? just a thought. haha but your call.
love you all tons. peace! keep lookin for miracles
