Hey Mom! May

This week:
You know, there wasn't too much excitement unlike the last
few weeks, sorry.
But still! Life here in Coulee Dam was pretty good to us the
past week. Between knocking doors, driving out to places, and enjoying the spring
blossoms, life is beautiful! I feel like spring took a long time to get here
since last time it came. Probably because a lot of stuff happened in the year
that occurred. But, then is then, and now is now. Right now things are great!
I guess you could say the biggest highlight came from when
we traveled to Chelan for p-day last week. And you know, that was a much
appreciated change of scenery. Mountains, lakes, and hills all make for a very
nice view!
The transfer itself proved smooth and hitch-free. Elder
Quast got here from Moses on time, and so far we get along outstanding! He
hails from Phoenix, AZ, making him my 3rd comp. from the Southwest. Since
both of us served in Moses it gives us a common ground of things. We were able
to see Mitzi and read 3 Nephi 11 with her, and she liked it a lot. It's fun
testifying about the Book of Mormon, there aren't too many other times in
history one could do that. While we were driving around another time we got the
impression to go try by a potential investigator named Janet. In Coulee there
are a lot of folks who tell us to come by again, but we are never able to see them.
But we just so happened to see Janet and she set up a solid return appointment.
Cool!
Tracting was tracting. But we met some pretty nice folks
there as well. Teaching Nakai is super simple, and it may take a little longer
than we thought before we can set a baptismal date. Due to his family
situation, it's hard for his great-grandmother alone to bring him to church and
be his solid support. Ay, ay ay, but even if it takes a while, we'll roll with
it. This is the Lord's timing, not ours!
But he did come to church! And Mitzi too! As a matter of
fact she brought her sister, Tina, and another friend, Alex, with her! The ward
loved her right off the spot, and you could tell that she really enjoyed it. We
were also informed by a member of the ward that they have a child and spouse
who are interested in learning more, and they were there too! Got to say hello
to them, Jessie and Austin. Hopefully we can start teaching them soon!
Yep, God's been pretty good to us here. And I have to say
the highlight of every week is when I get to hear from you guys. Thanks for all
the support in the letters and notes. Feels like all the stops are being pulled
out for the last part of this crazy mission, and I feel like the Lord's really
helping us out here right now. And I can't wait for Mother's day too! Holy
smokes, it's already May. Feels like December was yesterday. Stay safe out
there!
Love you,
Michael
