Hello Family!
This week has been a good one. The weather has been superb. I'm surprised i haven't gotten sunburned at all. Especially on saturday this last week. We helped out the single adults with a service project at a retirement home kind of place. We put mulch around some plants in an area and then dug out some stumps and what not to flatten out an area so they could just make it a flat grassy area. This week at church a miracle happened. This lady, sister Spevak, came to church just out of the blue. She has been going through a LOT of rough stuff in her life and came back to church because she wanted something consistent and stable in her life. She joined the church in 93 but has been inactive for over a decade. During the second hour of church we just met with her and the bishop in his office and put forward a plan to bring her back into church. We are basically just starting over and are going to teach her all of the lessons again. So it's almost like we have a new investigator, except she has already been baptized.
We went on exchanges again this week. The other set of elders from davenport came over to the Rock Island area and we blitzed it. It was fun. I was with Elder Hansen. We went and visited a less active member named sister Wells. She had been praying for some sort of relief to come into her life that day and when we showed up on her door, we were the answer to her prayers. We were able to give her a blessing and help her with some of the struggles she was having. Plus she came to church as well on Sunday which was fantastic. Tomorrow my companion is going to Nauvoo for his going home temple trip so i'm going to be working in Iowa City for the day. Should be a fun day, but it will be an early start since we have to get there by 8. We also have our last district meeting for the transfer this week and we get transfer calls on Saturday. President Jergensen e-mailed the mission and told us that we will still be alotted an hour and a half of e-mail time on Monday instead of doing it on Wednesday like we had been doing it.
