Hello everyone!
This week was absolutely wonderful! Absolutely full of
great miracles!
To start off, elder Burch is doing great! While he is
starting to get a little tired of having to train every day, he is really
loving the mission! It's been a wonderful opportunity to be with him :)
But ya! We have seen some amazing miracles this week! One
of the biggest miracles that we had was Bertie. Bertie is someone that we met
at church a week ago, she is best Friends with a member and asked to come to
church and learn more about it. She is amazing! Elder Burch and I have been really
trying to find someone that we could teach and behold she came right to us! We
had a lesson with her this Friday and taught her the Restoration and she loved
it! At the end of the lesson we committed her to be Baptized when she knew that
it was true and she accepted! It was absolutely wonderful to feel that spirit
and have that experience! I am so thankful for the lord and his constant help
in our area.
Also we had a miracle with Greg this week! To all of you
who have been praying for him thank you! He is finally starting to have some
hope! We were also able to teach him the Restoration as well
this week! He is still struggling with depression but he's really looking to
God! He comes to church every week and always makes sure to read his
scriptures! It's truly wonderful!
Another miracle that we had this week was that a less
active Vicky, came to church! While we didn't see her (because we were in
Tensleep) several members, like sister Cheatham, saw her and reached out to
her! It was wonderful!
Finally this week we went out to Tensleep! It was, of
course, wonderful! While we weren't able to visit too many people, we were able
to find a family out there! He dad is less-active and so is his son, but he has
a girl friend and another child I believe, who are interested! I am so excited!
Finally we might be able to have some work going on out there!
So real quick funny story. We had interviews with
president the other day, and before hand he had asked USA all to bring our
IPads so that he could check them and then plug them in to something to see how
we have been using them. (Side note. I think they are getting rid of the IPads,
apparently the church is having some copyright issues with them and are trying
to switch over to Samsung Galaxy tablets. They have really been pushing for
everyone to buy their IPads by the end of August. That's just a rumor going
around, however I know that in the last Area book update they did make mention
in the notes about the update section that it fixed some bugs in the Samsung
Galaxy Tablets. Ya. I don't know how I feel about that. However if I get one,
I'm totally naming it GLaDOS. :) ) anyways, I Then FREAKIN lost my IPad
literally the night before. Thankfully we found it as we stopped by a house
that we had visited the night before on our way to the interview so ya. That
was an adventure.
OH! Speaking of stuff did I tell you that My companion and I
found a bunch of old tapes and Vinyl Records in a storage shed that we get to
keep!? So freakin cool! I'll have to send you a picture with me holding them :)
so ya, that was kind of a crazy experience!
Wyoming here is absolutely amazing! We were in Tensleep
yesterday and spent Saturday night there and we had the best thunderstorm! It
was seriously A bunch of these giant flashes all over the sky. As if Ten Sleep
weren't already beautiful enough. It is freakin gorgeous! I am seriously going
to have to take you all on a tour of this area because I love it so much. I
think I'm over the whole moving here thing. It's starting to get a little cold
a nights, and also with no Walmart or real store for 2 hours. Also with no jobs
here besides farming, Working at the Bentonite plant, or trucking. I might come
down for a summer or two and do some summer jobs on ranches so that I can take
bro. Cheatham up on his offer of learning how to fly and shoot guns all summer
long but ya Arizona is the place for me :)
Well my driving has improved way considerably! In Tensleep
most of the roads, especially if you go out to the farms and ranches, are all
gravel or dirt. That Corolla is seriously impressing me. While it still breaks
down far too easily for my taste, It's handling is pretty good! There were
quite a few times where we were fish tailing from the rain storm or gravel and
I was able to recover it quite easily! I think all of those races that I
totally didn't have with other elders in Butte helped me a ton! Sadly the
Corolla isn't a sports car, it only has 4 cylinders. My companion. Just made
the comment that He doesn't think that I have quite figured out that It isn't a
sports car yet :) I have a favourite spot coming out of Basin where you are
immediately dumped on the freeway between cities where the speed limit is 70.
While I'm not immature about it, I'll admit that I do have fun with it. Maybe
this is why I've been driving a 2013 Corolla my whole mission. The lord knows
that I would have way too much fun with anything else. I got to drive a
Frontier once. That was fun, that thing can really get up and go, and you can
just plow through snow with its 4 wheel drive. So the thought just came to mind
that BJ is probably laughing his face off at me trying to talk about cars. Uhhh
Cumins! Horse power! V8! Torque! Ya, That's about all I hear being out in Small
town Greybull. If there is a truck, there is probably a 50 % chance that it
will have a Cumins turbo charge sticker on it somewhere.
I just want to
testify real quick of the Atonement. I know that we can truly change and I am
so thankful for Jesus Christ, who truly changes us.
I love you all this week!
Never give up, Never Surrender!
-Elder Berrett
