Hello
everyone,
I’m glad everything is
going good! I'm sorry that my emails haven't had all the information you
guys want in them. There's just so much stuff going on, it’s hard to sit down
and write it all down. I don't mean to leave out stuff it's just whatever
comes to my mind when I’m writhing it all down. And you guys know me, I’m
not good at explaining everything.
Well Dad, I'm not even
sure how much money we get right now. I think it’s like 200 or something like
that, and we do get a card we can use for that. They put the money on
there each month and we spend it on food and stuff. A normal day here, I
guess, is wake up at 6:30, personal study at 8, companionship study at 9, and
because I’m getting trained right now our companionship study is 2 hours long,
but usually it is 1 hour. Then we go and do missionary work, either
lessons we have set up or knocking or calling people. I’m not sure what
else I can say, it all depends on the day.
That’s cool that the
Dale and Diane came over. That was nice of them. I’m glad Dustin is doing
well. And thank you for the chapters in Alma; I’m actually reading in the
same spot so that’s pretty weird ha. But I like Alma and Amulek. They are
pretty good missionaries.

But yeah, things this
week have been going good. We met this old guy yesterday, his name is William
and he is a cool old man. He works hard and is very spiritual, and we gave him
a Book of Mormon. He seemed very happy with that, and we're probably going to
see him next Sunday, so that’s exciting. We didn't have any baptisms in
the month of June, but we have 5 lined up so far in July and they seem pretty
solid right now. 4 of them are a family, the Stride family. They are really
cool and are progressing really far. Hopefully they will start coming to
church. They weren't there last week, but hopefully they will start coming. The
other one a guy named Kenny who is sick all the time. He has something wrong
with his liver, I think. He said he had like Hepatitis C or something, and he
had to go get a shot. It is kind of like chemo for the liver. He said that his
hair was going to fall out and that he was going to be bed ridden for a while.
I will be good in the long run, but he so desperately wants to come to
church. He can't until he can actually get off his bed.
We are teaching some
other people who are close to getting a baptismal date. I’m excited about that.
I’ll tell you more about them when they get a baptismal date. One's Mari
and she's cool. She's started reading the Book of Mormon right when we gave it
to her and she likes it. There are a few more who are not progressing as much
as they could, but are still trying to do good and stuff. I do have to be
sensitive about how much information I do give everyone about the investigators
here. I hope you understand, but yeah, I
can tell you some stuff, just not everything.
I’m having a real fun
time here in Caribou. Elder Harris and I are working hard. On Tuesday and
Wednesday we get to meet our new mission president and his wife, President and
Sister Levitt. So I’m way excited for that. Also there was a huge rain
storm on Friday last week. It was huge!!! Huge lightning and lots and lots of
rain. It was actually pretty cool.
Also I’m sending some
pictures of Caribou and I think there’s one of Elder Harris. But yeah. I’m
sending those.
And in the package you’re
going to send, can you put in some candy and some treats? :) hehe
Thank you all for the
prayers and good thoughts you send. I love you all!
Love,
Elder Beckert
