Dear Family,
I'm probably not going to be able to write a ton this time.
We are taking the Mission President out teaching in almost an hour. We
are going to see the Roye family. He is the member that served in the
same mission as Dad at the same time. They were even in the same
district at one point. This has been a good week. We got back in
contact with Shane and he still wants to get baptized but might be
moving to Virginia. That might put a roadblock in the way, at least
on our side. He has recognized that his life is better now that he is
trying to do the things that we have been teaching him. All of the people
that told us that they were coming to church bailed on us again. Oh well, you
live and you learn. We taught Salvador and met his sister who is a
less active member. She goes to a different church now but still says
that she is a member. Interesting... We then found out that she is the
ex wife of a less active member here in Salisbury as well. The
connections that this ward has with the community is crazy. Everyone
knows someone else. I guess that happens when you have 700 on the
roster and only 220 come to church. They put two sisters in to replace
the two elders. So now I'm in the "lowest Elder" area possible. We almost
saw the ocean on Friday because we did service for a lady that lives
in Ocean Pines close to Ocean City. (We are not usually allowed there
but because we were doing service for a member we got permission.) But
yes, the work goes forward and the ward is really pulling things
together to help us out.
Love,
Elder Jesse M Killpack
