"Love it or Leavitt"
Well, Well, Well look who we have
here my new companion Elder Leavitt. He is just a city slicker from Moapa Valley, Neveda! Just outside the Las Vegas area. He has been out one transfer longer than
I have so he goes home awfully soon but he is a great guy and I knew him long
before this transfer from when I was in Tulsa etc. We are having a lot of fun and seeing success and God’s hand
often!

Okay some wild things that have
happened was that ever since Elder Leavitt got here it hasn’t stopped raining. It was so bad it caused some pretty
serious flooding and even cancelled Carl's baptism and church on Sunday. So
that was a bummer. But things are
good everybody is okay. The ward is all okay. There were many trees broken though and quite a few people
affected. I was surprised.
Updates: Mely, fantastic. We love her so much, she is the sweetest
woman ever. She takes such good
care of us and everybody and she is going to be receiving a calling next week. Since our church was cancelled she even
drove out to Bentonville yesterday to take the sacrament with us during one of
the meetings.
Carl: doing so great! He was all set for baptism and then the
rain hit. But it was good because
the ward was a little scrambled getting all the baptism stuff set up so it will
be good to have it next week.
Last night we went out with Brother
Duncan who is in the bishopric and he is so cool. He speaks Swahili so we had an instant connection there. But anyways we had some appointments
with him and even walked in on a huge Pohnpeiian birthday party it was awesome!
The islanders have really been
coming along and we are so grateful for all of them.
Today we went over to teach the
Schureman family and we watched a video about gratitude from the Prince of Peace
Initiative. It hit me hard
and I realized that we all need to focus on "living in the blessing"
that this video talks about, rather than look to where our lives our lacking. We need to just live in the blessing
that God has given us!
Love you all,
Elder Green
