( Elder Slade)
To the best friends and family a person could hope for!
It was a good week! Then again, every week as a missionary
is a good week! :) Yesterday we taught a man named Lewie that is in his 80's,
and he's practically deaf. Since we have to wear these masks, we taught him
through screaming. My voice was beat at the end of that lesson, let me tell
you. It's a whole other experience yelling your testimony at the top of your
lungs in a lesson.
This week was transfers and we're both staying here, but we
found out that we now cover another ward! We started teaching a new person in
that ward named Chelsie, and we have high hopes for her. She is a devoted
Christian and loves learning about the gospel. It's been great to teach her!
Lastly, the weather here has been atrocious! Particularly
the wind. It is so hard to bike in wind, let me tell you. There have been some
sketchy moments as we've biked on the streets. The wind has been reminding me
of a verse in the Book of Mormon:
Helaman 5:12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is
upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must
build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds,
yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm
shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the
gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built,
which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
Though the winds have been heavy, and the storms have been
strong, I'm built on Christ! Love you all! Don't let the winds of life beat you
down too hard!
Pictures:
1-2. Laticia the schizophrenic person we teach likes
coloring and showed us her impressive master pieces. (On a side note, she
sometimes forgets to take her meds, and she goes full on Golem mode. It's
pretty epic, but hard to teach her in that state of mind!)

4. We walked outside, and some girl had parked her bike next
to ours. I tried to get Elder Clove to ride it. He said no.
