Dear Family,
It's great to hear from you and the adventures that you all are
having! I did get the package, thank you so much mom i really appreciate
it! I was wondering. . . could i possibly have a couple extra bucks put
on my card? i have need to buy some new inner
tubes for bicycle repairs haha just a flat and probably one for good
measure, and no need to worry, i have not crashed, but am loving the
bike and am staying safe and always wearing a helmet i promise!! Dad's
talk was awesome and i got a lot from it and thank
you for your thought this week as well, i definitely every single day
remember those words and strive to do "one more thing" each day. I am
sorry if this letter is shorter than usual, the computer that i am using
is exceptionall slow and it takes a while to
catch up to my tying haha anways. . .
Updates!
We have seen and partaken of so many miracles this past week and it
has been so humbling and so incredible to be in this portion of the
Lord's vineyard. We started to teach the Seiftan family, we found them
by helping them move a couch a couple weeks ago
and we've been able to teach them the Restoration of the Gospel and the
Plan of Salvation. I have to tell you, what an incredible experience it
was to teach the Restoration of the Gospel. At first Bro Seiftan-as i
will refer to him as- was leaning back, arms
folded in his chair, we couldn't really tell if he was listening or not,
we tried to involve him but he continued to stay as he was. As we began
telling them about Joseph smith and the First Vision, Bro seiftan began
to perk up, began to lean forward, eyes
wide, ears open, and nodding, listening, and responding. He wasexcited
and as we left he said "i'm going to do what you said, i'm going to take
it to God to find out". They are a wonderful family and have had some
incredible things happen in their lives that
have testified to them that God is real and that He lives. Sis seiftan
especially. What a humbling experience!
Bro Jolly is doing super well!! Holy smokes i cannot even express
in words how humbling it is to be a part of his life and to just be with
him and the changes that he is making and the path that he is on in his
life. He was in St. George for the week visiting
his in-laws and his father in-law gave him a cd with truman g madsen
about the prophets of he church and he said in his 6 hour drive he was
able to listen to quite a few, the first 5!! he loves learning about the
historyof the Chruch and we were able to teach
the Plan of Salvation and he just understands, he relates the things we
talk about to his work and likens the teachings in his daily life, what
an incredible man and family! as we were driving home, he said to us
"when my sons are of age, they are definitely
serving missions" amazing!! miracles!
WE were able to teach Eymard and MJ at the Temple on saturday and
took them on a tour and they accepted the invitation to take the
missionary lessons!! believe it or not, they are our downstairs
neighbors!
Jeff-a less active we are working with now has agreed to take the
lessons, and is seeking his testimony and he was challenged and
committed to prepare to go to the Temple, our Elders Quorum president
came with us (w were on splits) and Jeff made it to
church as well!
Patricia- another less-active that came back to church after 50 years of inactivity!!
This is the Lord's work and His glory, i am so blessed to serve
here, i love this work and these people and this ward and i love you
allso much!! i'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers and i hope and
pray that you all have missionary experiences! Let
me know about your dates!!
Love,
Elder Aaron Jordan Lloyd
