Dear mom,
Saturday went fantastic, it was a
great experience baptizing Sandra and I can tell you that your prayers were
definitely evident. Her faith and strength is amazing, and I’m so grateful for
the opportunity I had to participate. Elder Arvig confirmed her on Sunday and
she is now an active member of the Church. I’m really getting close with the
members here, they are some really good people and I have enjoyed serving in
Perth immensely since I’ve been here.
Oh by the way, Elder Arvig made pie
last week, and guess what? We took like half of it to people, I’m sick of this
my wife will never give anything away. Ha-ha it’s the frustration of my life
when people are all giving my snacks away.
I do miss the temple, I’m happy to
hear you and Dad are still going when you can. It’s only been since I’ve been
out that I’ve learned about the temple, and what it means and the significance
of it all. It will be one of the first things I do when I get home in a years’
time.
Keep it up; you’re doing an amazing
work!
We ate dinner at Eleanors, a member
in the branch, last night. We had two starters, mussels and bean salad, and
then sweet corn chowder (a lot of it) then LOADS of pork chicken and potatoes
and then two deserts, meringue and trifle. I was sick because of how full I
was, the food was dang good but way too much for even my body to handle.
I’m really not sure what details to
put, today were climbing kinnoul hill (google it) if the weather stays nice,
which it has been lately. After the baptism, I spoke with Aimee and asked her
how she feels about baptism; she said she wasn't planning on doing it,
YET. The yet part is an improvement. She comes to church every
week, and to FHE which is at Eleanor's the night, just having a hard time
deciding on baptism, were working on it though, the Lord knows what she needs.
I love you mom, thanks for all that
you do, I am proud to be your son. I know this is the work of Jesus Christ and
that I’ve been sent here to Perth by the inspiration of God through the Holy
Ghost, and through the Holy Ghost he leads this work.
I love you to the moon and back,
Elder Merrill
