Simon Auras
Dear Family and friends,
This last week on October 9th, Simon Auras an eleven year boy in our ward here in Landshut passed away... He was playing soccer on Tuesday night with his friends from school. While they were playing he passed out. They called for the ambulance and they got him to the hospital as fast as they could. They were able to put him in an artificial coma while they were trying to figure out what was wrong with him. After all day Wednesday of looking for a solution they finally decided to fly him to Munich, to the heart specialist. They were hoping he could take a look and figure out what was wrong with his heart. During the flight he didn't make it. He died on Thursday. It is so crazy to me how fast things can change. Elder Garrett and I were talking with Simon right before he went to play soccer with his friends. Who would have thought that that would have been the last time we were going to see him. The beauty of all of this, is how perfect God is and within that, how perfect His plan is. God puts everything and everyone in the perfect place at the perfect time. I haven't lost a brother or a son, but I have lost a family member and can feel that same shock and feeling of loss as this family has. God has called me here in this specific place to help and serve these people, and that includes the members like the Auras`s. I am so grateful for the humbling experiences of a mission, because that is when we do many things different. We begin to see that we can serve people better, we can let God build us up stronger the way he wants us to be, and when we are being humble we are closer to the spirit. That is when we have our strongest experiences. I want every single person who reads this letter, to know that I KNOW this is the true church, and I KNOW that the Plan of Salvation is true. And how beautiful and perfect that plan is. There is nothing that brings more hope than this plan. I love this church and everything that it has done for me and my family. Especially what it gives my family for ETERNITY. I love you guys so much. Until we meet again, God be with you!!!
