Oct 6
Welcome
to October
Fall
has literally fallen upon us out here. The temperatures have dipped below the
50’s in the morning. It is brisk but beautiful. The leaves should be changing
soon too! What a great time to be alive! There is so much to be thankful for,
but first and foremost, I am thankful for a Loving Heavenly Father and our
Savior Jesus Christ. They have done everything so that we could be happy. But
in a close second (silver medal is still good, right?) would have to be y’all!
Thanks for the email! My devoted family! Y’all are truly the best, a sight to
behold (depending on what time it is of course…) I am too blessed. Thanks for
being who you are!
The
Ups! Bro. Hoyt was McDunked! It was a pretty nonchalant service, but the Spirit
was certainly there! It has been a long time coming, but it was remarkable.
There is nothing that will bring a bigger smile to my face than seeing someone
come to the Savior. General Conference was the bomb, was it not? It goes by too
quick. That was my third one; I have one more left… Where has time gone?
Needless to say, I received answers to my prayers as well! Alonzo had the
greatest miracle I have seen in a while (Rick and Tiny like). He called us
because he was short $20 on the electric bill (due to the timing). He got his
Mom ready, went to a McDonalds to charge his phone and get help. His Mom needs
the electricity because she has a breathing machine for when she sleeps. They
had to get the money soon or else they couldn’t turn the power on until the
next day. On the phone we told him that we couldn’t help with the money, but we
could pray. We plead for a miracle, in his behalf. Twenty minutes later, he
goes into the McDonald’s bathroom, and lo and behold, a $20 bill had been
sitting right next to the trash can. God is a God of Miracles! Faith will
always provide a way! We were kind of freaking out, like school girls one might
say (no my voice isn’t the highest…). I got to have a dinner at the Holmes home
in Lost Mountain! We had Shrimp and Grits as well as Pineapple Crepes (the
really thing pancakes!). It was so good! Now I know why I put on so much
weight… Everyone seems to notice that I am thinner. I got to see a few old
investigators too, Allen and Janet, and also Steve. It is so good to be back!
And Krysta will be baptized this week!
Down: I
don’t really have much of these I have come to notice. Conference is over,
that’s a bit of a downer. I got nothing. Sorry for all you downers if this
happens to be your favorite part.
That is just about all I have. Well, one more thing. I love you all so very
much! Thanks for being so truly remarkable and putting up with me! Y’all treat
me too well! Thanks for everything and I hope that in some way I can repay
y’all! Keep up the good fight of faith! Never be ashamed of the Gospel! Have
another blessed up week and I look forward to hearing how it went!
Love,
Elder Dallan Barnes………….Desire delivers divine direction.
