WELL YOU ALL HAVE REQUESTED THAT I SEND STORIES TO YOU ABOUT PEOPLE SO I WILL SEND AT LEAST ONE A WEEK WHEN MY COMPANION AND I ARE NOT IN A HURRY.
THIS WEEK MY COMPANION WAS SICK SO WE DID NOT DO TOO MUCH. ALSO THE ZONE LEADERS WERE SICK. SO THAT IS THREE OUT OF FOUR IN THE APARTMENT THAT WERE SICK....I DID NOT GET SICK AGAIN. IT WAS SUSPECTED SWINE FLU BUT MY GUESS IS IT WAS A COLD BECAUSE I HAD ONE A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE REASON THEY SUSPECTED IS THEY GAVE A RIDE TO AN ELDER THAT WAS TESTED POSITIVE. IT WILL BE PRETTY EVENTFUL WHEN I GET SICK BECAUSE I SOMEHOW AVOID IT WHEN EVERYONE IN THE ZONE IS SICK.
ELDER SCOTT (MY COMPANION) HAS STARTED THIS FIRESIDE IN THE AREA CALLED PANCAKE NIGHT. IT IS FOR THE YOUTH JR AND SR IN HIGH SCHOOL. THE MISSIONARIES DO A SHORT LESSON ON JESUS CHRIST. AFTERWARDS PANCAKES ARE SERVED. THEN THE YOUTH INVITE THEIR FRIENDS TO THE NEXT ONE. SAME PLACE (PREFERABLY IN A HOME) AND SAME TIME EVERY WEEK.
NOW ANOTHER STORY FROM MY PAST AREA BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE FAVORITES OF MINE THAT I HAVENT SHARED.
I MET TOMMY AND GEORGIA FIELDS (70'S) MY FIRST DAY IN THE FIELD. WE SET A LESSON AND MET WITH THEM EVERY TUESDAY. THE FIRST LESSON WE TRIED TO COMMIT HIM FOR BAPTISM HE SAID NO. AS WE PROGRESSED I GREW TO LOVE HIM AND I SAW THAT HE TRUSTED ME AND I COULD SEE THAT WE WERE GETTING THROUGH. HE STARTED ATTENDING CHURCH. HE WENT TO THE STAKE CONFERENCE THAT ELDER JEFFERY R HOLLAND WAS AT AND THE FELLOWSHIP (HAROLD HESS THE SAME ONE AS JOHN HAMLEN) TOLD US LATER THAT AS THEY WERE LEAVING HE WAS VERY EMOTIONAL AND SAID THAT HE FELT THE SPIRIT. AT THE LAST LESSON IN THE AREA ELDER BOHNE AND I TOLD HIM WE WOULD NOT BE AT THE NEXT LESSON. HIM AND HIS WIFE WERE SO SAD TO SEE US LEAVE. HE HASNT BEEN BAPTIZED OR SO IVE HEARD BUT I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY THE FELLOWSHIP THAT WHEN ELDER BOHNE, KAUFMAN, AND MY SELF WERE THERE THAT THAT WAS THE GREATEST PROGRESS THAT HE HAD SEEN MADE WITH TOMMY BUT GEORGIA IS NOW AN ACTIVE MEMBER ,WHERE BEFORE SHE STARTED AS LESS ACTIVE. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT HE WILL BE BAPTIZED.
I LOVE YOU ALL
ELDER LUNT
