Hi Family,
I haven't had my interview with President yet. He had to reschedule
them due to an emergency of some kind. He hasn't told us when yet. We
probably won't find out for a bit.
Specialized training was about living
the higher law and some of our key indicators and goals and stuff.
We don't know how long we will have Elder
Miner with us, but we are enjoying having him here while we can.
By the way, I bought new
scriptures off of Amazon. That's what the charge
was. My quad fell apart last week finally after 12 years of service. So I
bought some used ones and a new case to last me the rest of my mission.
We went to a funeral on Saturday.
A recent converts cousin had died, and he wanted us there for support.
It was at a black baptist church. Imagine a
church service where you have a band playing for half of what the
preacher says and people are shouting "Hallelujah" and "Praise the Lord"
every 6 seconds. Everyone is standing up almost dancing to the music,
and the music is so loud you are almost going deaf. That's what it was
like. All of those movies where it seems over exaggerated are exactly
right. It's exactly like that.
Everything else has been pretty normal.
Just teaching and stuff. We have been able to see some of the less
active members make some progress and attend church again. So that's
good.
The above picture is of all of the elders in Dyersburg. I'm in the middle,
Miner is behind me in blue, Ernst is on the right in the white shirt and
tie, Mulvey is on my left in the green, and Mohetau is on the far left
in white without a tie. Mulvey and Miner are my companions, and Ernst
used to be my companion.
This picture is Elder Miner and me next to a giant snowman. So that was fun.
That's all for this week. kloveyoubye.
Love, Elder Udy
