All,
I am excited to hear the awesome stuff that's going on
with you all. Let me tell you some interesting happenings this week.
First, this Sabbath, a lot of crazy things happened. Many
of our less-active members came to church, which was a miracle in and of
itself. One of them was a young man we've been working with for almost 5months
now, who is simply too lazy to get up for church. this week he just got up and
came. Considering that is what I'd been fasting for, that was a miracle too.
But of all the miracles large and small this week, the
most miraculous one of all... (fiddler on the roof, anyone?)
Was that our 2nd area, which was the slowest in the
mission (go ahead, name an area. Barrow. Nome. Bethel. Anywhere else. Our area
is slower) just exploded with work to do. Not only is there a baptism this
week, but Lots of members were bringing their friends and asking us to teach
them, or just pulling us over on the road to tell us where they lived so we
could come over, or... ETC. It's been amazing. If it keeps going like this, we
won't have enough daylight to do all this work. That would be impressive, since
we're getting about 20 hours of daylight a day now.
On a random note, Yes, I have a rock for my Stake
President. It's a pretty green one i got down in Craig (was that already a year
ago? Wow...) So don't worry. As Dia put it so well: "I WON'T!!! HELLO, I'M
GOING TO MEET MY STAKE PRESIDENT TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LORD'S LABOR IN [Alaska] FOR
THE LAST [24] MONTHS! I'D BETTER HAVE AT LEAST A ROCK TO
SHOW FOR IT!"... Close quote.
So, let me conclude with the True Alaska-ness up here. We
were driving down the road in Anchorage (Muldoon and 36th, driving south, for
you google map-ers) when a Huge moose and her calf went across the road. We
were drove only a few feet more when a Bald Eagle came out of the ditch right
in front of us, dropping a large torn-up partly-devourerd carcass right in
front of our car that we had to drive around. It was either a beaver or a dog.
So, yeah. Welcome to Alaska.
Love from the North,
Elder Darcey
