hey everyone!
this last week has been awesome! we had alot going on. covering two wards is as crazy as ever. we spent from 9 am to 4 pm in meetings and church on sunday! it gets pretty crazy because we have to split up to go to all the meetings that we need to go to . this sunday elder aiken was in one sacrament meeting with investigators while i was in tiger mtn ward council and then i went to another sacrament for a bit with our other investigator while elder aiken was taking pelple to class. it was crazy!
we are still teaching laly lorenzo and jj. this last week lorenzo went to the hospital with extreme adominal pain. they found a lump on his testicle and they didnt know what it was. i was really scared because everyone thought it was cancer so we went over that night and offered to give him a blessing. they accepted our offer so we gave him a blessing. the spirit was so strong in that room, the next day we went over to teach the them and lorenzo was running around and didnt feel anything at all. and the doctor also said it wasnt anything either but they are just going to watch it to be safe. it was so great to see the power of the priesthood work to heal this little boy. i know that we were placed in his life at this time to help them through this because now they have a super solid testimony of the preisthood and of the gospel! they are now ondate for june 25th ( we had to move it back because they are going to their dads this week for fathers day). but everything is great with them.
also this last friday steve and stevie downs were baptzed down in the benson hill ward!! me and elder bonnett started teaching them and now they got baptised this last week. i was so excited for them and their decision. steve the father used to be a methodist preacher so he has come along way and stevie his son is a good basketball player and now he wants to go play for byu and marry a mormon girl!! they are awesome.
this last week i invested in some hair clippers and made the decision to cut my own hair... then i gathered up all the guts i could and cut my hair ( which was really scary) but it actually turned our great!! ( see before and after pictures) also this last week for service we helped one of our investigators debone a pork but, which is basicly one sixth of a pig! it was so much fun cause we had to cit the leg off the pig then take all the bones out of the shoulder and everything. it hought e aiken was going to puke at one point. it was awesome though.
well i think thats about it for this last week. i hope all is well there and you guys have fun where ever you may be at this week.
love you
elder berry
