We recieved a great letter from Ronnie this week. He loved getting the letters from Ron, Braden, and Kayla while Janae and I were at Girl's Camp. He loves getting letters!
He said that Elder Duval was leaving for home that day. He said its hard to believe 2 months had gone by since he was put with Elder Duval. Now its just him and Elder Pugmire.
This week he writes:
"This week has been so good! Well, it's WICKED HOT and HUMID here...I have done nothing but sweat out all the water I have been drinking. I actually have been drinking a gallon of water everyday for the past week and a half-two weeks. It feels really good to be drinking all this water. I've just noticed that I've needed to take a lot more bathroom breaks in the middle of the night haha. But it really has been a good week. Tuesday night, Bro. Westberry (a member in the ward who is a lobster fisherman) brought me a lobster that I was able to get really cheap, just a couple bucks, and Bro. Young (the member we live above) taught me how to cook lobster! Ha ha so consider me a professional! I cooked it and pulled out all the meat by my big-boy self! And...it was way good!! Wednesday through Saturday was just a bunch of tracting and nothing too exciting...well, on Wednesday morning we were helping someone rake their yard and a bee stung me!! Ah, I hate bees! Ha ha! But yeah, nothing too exciting. But yesterday (Sunday) we had a pretty cool miracle. Bro. _____ (a member in the ward) was taking us to his house after church so that we could have some cake and ice cream for Elder Duval's birthday. Well, he had told us how a few weeks ago, he was at a gas station, and when he came out, there was a lady who seemed kinda down in the dumps, stressed, and just not happy with life. But, she had some flowers and asked Bro. _____ if he could take the flowers into the lady that worked at the gas station for her...so he did. Well, the Holy Ghost told him that she was having a hard time, and he should check up on her and try to help her. So, he thought of the missionaries. Well, a few weeks back, he took us to meet her but she wasn't home. So yesterday we went, and she was home! She was soooo happy to meet us and very emotional, and going through a hard time. She and her husband are struggling right now. But they seem very prepared. We have a lesson with them tomorrow night, then on Sunday, the ______ are going to bring them to church, and then they're going to come over to the _______ to eat dinner and have another lesson with us! It was just way cool to see the miracle play out right in front of us. They're a young couple. Who knows if they'll be baptized but they do seem prepared. It was cool!"
I love it when he gets the opportunity to teach people the gospel. I love it when he recognizes "miracles" and realizes that the Lord is helping them find people to teach. I'm so proud of my "big boy" who can cook and eat his own lobster. I'm not sure I could do that so its good that he is learning it for himself. We had to giggle at the thought of him getting stung by a bee. He has hated bees his whole life and when one comes around him he starts swinging his arms, ducking, , running, or doing what ever he can to get that bee away from him. We laughed at the thought of him trying to get away from that bee and then getting stung. It must have been quite a site to see!! Just glad he's not allergic to them. :) I'm glad he had a great week.
