Friends and Family,
Thank you for all of the emails,
letters, and packages sent my way! I continue to say this because I want to
stress how much it means to me. It was a tough week here in the W Park area. We
were able to teach a lot, and find some great people, but there were some
unfortunate events along the way! Today has been way fun though. We had our District
Pday today, and it was a great time. We went out to lunch, then came back to
the church and played capture the flag, chair soccer, and some basketball. It's
a blast to be serving in a district with all Elders. I'm really starting to
bond with these guys and I feel like I have known them for ever. It will be
hard to say goodbye in a couple weeks! Because of district Pday I won't have
too much time to email.
On Tuesday, we drove through downtown
Orlando into the Bumby for a baptismal interview. It was awesome to be in the
heart of the city for most of the day. We drove back up into Winter Park and
met with both of our recent converts. They are doing great and loving the
gospel.
Wednesday- Well... Wednesday was
interesting. We were biking to an
appointment Wednesday morning when my
companion Elder Honda fell off of his bike and broke his wrist. Not the
greatest start to the day. We were able to head down to the emergency care and
it was sure confirmation that he broken it. Elder
Honda was a warrior about it.Hasn't complained once, what a stud! Wednesday
night, we had an investigator call us and no longer wanted to meet because his "significant
other" didn't agree with the teachings. Tough day!
Thursday- We had district meeting, then
went to a few appointments
with our investigators. Last week we
found a couple really humble young men to teach. We found a 16 year old boy
Thursday afternoon that is getting recruited by West Virginia to play football
there! How cool is that? We talk a lot about football, but even more about the
gospel! He is progressing well! Thursday night we met with a family that we have
been teaching, but they are now going through a lot of hard times, and it isn't
a priority for them to meet with us right now. It was a pretty sad moment for
us! We kept our heads up, and continued to find new people!
Friday- Just another average Friday!
Nothing too crazy happened. Weekly planning, we had a dinner with an awesome
family, and had a few more appointments.
Saturday- We found a lady walking down
the street who was really happy to see us! We sat down at a park bench nearby
and she said she had something to tell us. She said she
"astrotravels" and had a vision of Jospeh Smith last night. She also
said that she is from a different planet.... We weren't quite sure what to say.
She wanted to know how she could be baptized because she has been researching
the church for a while. We taught her about the restoration and she agreed with
it! She took the Book of Mormon from us kind of aggressively and instantly started
reading. She promised to come to church! What a miracle!
Sunday- Church was great! We had 3
investigators there and they all really enjoyed it!
Monday- We had Mission wide Conference
yesterday! Let me tell ya, it was so much fun to catch up with all of my
friends! It was awesome to see how they have grown in the gospel, and just to
connect with them again!
Elder Honda and I are looking forward to
this week, and are excited to see how this week turns up. We have a lot of
great plans and are ready to work! Thanks again for all of the support! I'll
talk to you later!
Elder Doman
3 Nephi 24:17-And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that day
when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son
that serveth him.
