How's it going? I hope to get this email written while
we sit at the church waiting for the YSA to come for FHE. It is raining
now but it has been so beautiful and warm here. Everyone tells us that
it is unusual and to get ready to have the coldest winter of our
lives. It is so damp and windy here when it rains.
We have
been given many assignments by the mission president that keep us busy
visiting and checking on wards and missionaries. One Elder in Carlisle
(almost to Scotland) has been in the hospital since last Thursday. When
we took him to the doctor she thought he had meningitis. She said she
would call an ambulance but we drove him to the hospital instead. I
think it was faster, although we still had to sit in the waiting room
for an hour. Socialized medicine is not fast. He is having an MRI
tomorrow. When the nurse asked him what she should call him he said
"Elder". She said 'no what is your first name' and again he said
"Elder". His fever was 103 and he told her that he is a missionary for
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and that they can call
him Elder .... It made us cry to see him so sick and still testifying
of the Savior. Our faith is strengthened by these wonderful and strong
Elders.
Another missionary has been told that he is losing
his eye sight but he refuses to go home. He is so humble and sweet.
Your prayers for these two sweet Elders is appreciated.
We actually taught two discussions last week. One man that we hope
will come to church with us this week and a sister that lives about an
hour south of here that we sent as a referral to the Elders in New
Brighton. This is so exciting!
Elder Blunck is doing
such a great job driving on the wrong side of the road that I'm not
scared at all. (Karl wrote that falsehood)
We hope to get the internet this Wednesday. We can't wait to be able to facetime or skype with you. Love you all so much!
We are so happy that grandma Brinkerfhoff is getting better. Thanks for your prayers and fasting.
Love you all,
Elder and Sister Blunck
