Brandon had mission temple day, so he p-day was on Tuesday.
Hey everyone!
So this week was super awesome! There is a man here named brother Wilstead who hasn't been to church in a very long time, he's about 70 and doesn't go because he is super sad about his wife, who has Alzheimer’s or something. Anyway, he just doesn’t have the motivation to get out of bed on Sundays and go to church. This last week we visited with him twice and we have been going through the lessons with him, because Elder Fernquist hasn't had too much experience teaching, so we're getting him into the groove, and getting his skills up. We taught him the restoration one night, and just talked about a scripture the second night. The scripture thought, which is generally a minute or two long, turned into a half hour discussion and he was giving alot of feedback, which is uncanny for him. Anyway, he came to church on Sunday! It was a truly amazing miracle to see him walk into church!
So the weather here has been beautiful! It has been sunshine and happy days the last little bit! Except for the awesome thunderstorm last night (which still counts as beautiful weather because I didn't have to walk around in it!) So it has been short sleeve shirts the past couple days, and I am loving it!
Pasco is a really cool place, and I am excited to be able to work here!
Love,
Elder Pickett
