Elder Dallin's email 11/2/14

Dear Family, 


    Hey guys!!!! It sounds like you guys had a really great Halloween!!!!! We had a party that our ward put on and it was actually very cool! Instead of a trunk or treat (because here I guess we get some unwelcome guests) we had a little carnival thing! They had made a spook alley and had food there and stuff, it was very cool! I had lots of investigators come and they said that they had a pretty good time! 

    I've been very stressed lately because I still feel this area is struggling even though we had more lessons this week than we ever had together, but we still don't have anyone really solid yet. Romi is progressing very well, and as you can see in the texts she sent me, she found and talked to her birth mom for the first time in like 45 years! Which was like a huge miracle to her! And since she's Jewish, I did some studying on the Law of Moses, and we were really able to teach her to her understanding. She promised to read from the BOM, and promised to come to church next Sunday, as this Sunday she was down on the coast with her mom. 

   Me and Elder Pace are doing great though! He is honestly the funniest person alive sometimes. He says the darnest things. He would rather talk about cartoons and farytales rather than sports and hunting and stuff, but we're finding a happy medium! He is by far one of my favorite companions!! 

But Dad, I loved what you said about being with the Lord face to face and just having no one to blame but ourselves. It makes me want to be a better person and  develop myself and be a person that would be comfortable in the presence of perfection. 

But earlier this week, President Clark came to one of our zone meetings that just so happen to be in a members home, and gave us some very good counsel. But you are right about this ward loving me and me loving this ward! I know everyone and many know me! It's really a lot of fun to be on such a personal relationship with so many people and have so many friends! 

  The Kirkendalls sent me a wonderful package with a SWEET tie that I look forward to wearing! I have a meeting on Tuesday that I'm doing to be flashing it around at!! I love them so much and I'm going to try and write them back soon!!
