Happy b-day mom! I hope everything goes well with all the vacations y'all
will be doing and stuff. Well can you believe that this is the last e-mail
that I will be sending to you as a missionary? Me either. It kinda makes me
sick. I have been kinda depressed as the time begins to shrink and shrink. Being
sick last weekend didn't help much either. NO, not pancreas stuff, but if I am
completely honest I should not have left the hospital as early as I did. My
enzyme levels were still at like 3,000 and it has been taking me a bit of time
to REALLY recover. I have been really tired. I didn't sleep all of last week
and I guess that made my immune system crash a bit. Small things, such as a
cold, were really amplified. I managed to finally catch a few z's Sunday and
yesterday and I feel alright now. I must admit that I have lost a ton of
motivation this transfer as far as work goes. I feel like it is my fault that
everything has kinda gone down the toilet. YES, I know that I couldn't control
anything, but.......still. Well that's enough! I just really needed to vent!
On the bright side, we did manage to fix a baptismal date for the
beginning of July with a brand new amie from Nigeria. Anna has a lot of faith
and just really wants to learn about Christ. She is a referral from an old
investigator, and she is excited to learn more about the gospel. We have also
been finding tons and tons of potentials contacting. A good half of them were
fake numbers, however we did manage to make a few new amis outta all of it. We
will be seeing one of them today, his name is Romaric, and we will be trying to
fix a date with him, as well as a few others.
Well I'm keeping my head high and I have definitely grown closer to my
Savior this transfer if nothing else. You know everything that President Finn
blessed me with has come true so far. Not in ways I expected, but lets just
say I have learned a lot about humility these past few months (not that I can
even say that I am humble) and without God we truly are nothing.
Well, this is it. One more push! I love all of you and I am so
grateful for all of your support! I definitely did not serve this mission alone!
Thank you tons! I will see you at Salt Lake at 2 next Thursday......à
bientot!
LOVE ELDER LYONS
