Ya, I was hoping the Wedding would go well. I figured you would be busy being the Bride's parents
and all. Good to know the ward members are thinking of us.
Elder Tenney's flight leaves today from Norfolk, VA to Atlanta, to Sau
Paulo BZ to Forta Lesa BZ. He'll get to His mission about 4pm tomorrow. My New
companion Elder Aitken is serving in Woodington, right south of us. He's been out
about 4 months I think. I am in New Bern with the Kinston East Zone Leader
because his companion is now the assistant in Portsmouth. It is fun here, the
area itself reminds me of Outer Banks/Virgina Beach. So technically I am a
temporary Zone Leader for four days.
The work in Kinston is going very well. We received/contacted/taught a couple that was a referral from a member at
conference. They are both on board, yesterday was his 2nd and her 1st church
attendance here. They like it. I was on exchanges when my District leader (Elder
Foutz from Mapleton)and Elder Tenney taught them. They both accepted the big 3
invitations, Read, Pray, and Church as well as the Book of Mormon. They both
want to change their life around. Turns out he has already investigated the
Church before, had a Baptismal date, but stuff came up. So it will go well this
time. We saw K., assigned her Alma 7 and she read it. We had our follow
up visit with her, and told her the others in the house were invited. F.and
D., her daughter and Fiance were happy to find out about the restoration. We testified of the Power of the Book of Mormon. D. asked, "How do you know
this book is true?" It was awesome. He said they would come to Church, they
didn't, but that's not going to stop us! Oh, all 5 of said people accepted a soft
Baptismal date. The work here is amazing. Я рад,
оставаясь Кинстон!! (I'm glad I'm remaining
Kinston!!)
Glad to know everything is going great back home. We pray for strength and for the work here, it works.
Love, ya, talk to ya'll later.
Elder Meyerink
