When one person gets sick on an island, eventually everyone gets sick!
Pam and Less, the ones that we were able to give blessings to a couple months ago, moved down to Utah this week. I really love these people, and will miss them a lot! Less was progressing very well, but he just worked so much! Both of them were absolutely exhausted from the working lifestyle down here (literally 14+ hours a day for weeks straight). They gave us their address so we will keep in touch with them! They let us send it to the missionaries down in Utah. Hopefully the missionaries down there will be able to pick up where we left off!
Sister McGuire was sick this week, and she was very worried that some past health problems were coming back. We were able to give her a blessing with President Clark. He very kindly gave his lunch break to come help us out. She called us that evening and told us that she was feeling much better! It's cool to watch the priesthood work!
Our Daily Dose class went very well this week. Sandra, one of the ladies we are helping, accepted a Book of Mormon, and said a beautiful prayer where she thanked Heavenly Father for the Book of Mormon, without even reading it! Hopefully she does! There is a less active lady named Maria who is from Peru who has been helping us find more people to teach with this program. After the class on Tuesday, we had a good conversation with her and her active husband and set up a time to come help her return to activity!
Sheryl came to church this Sunday! The branch was very good at reaching out to her and helping her to feel comfortable. She is going to be living with her dad for the next 2 or 3 months, so hopefully it will be easier for her to use the Atonement to stop her addictions. It was very good to see her at church!
I was sick for most of Saturday and Sunday, and Elder Wilson is starting to get sick! We're doing good though. There are some good 'Missionary Moms' in this branch!
Thank you for the package and the memory card! Expect some pictures soon!
Love, Elder Gullerud
