(We're in Idaho at Elder Campbell's grandma's funeral.
I always hope for a good week and it looks like it was a good and a not
so good week. I never know what to expect from Elder Campbell!!)
Mother and Father,
Mother and Father,
This week was a rough one for
me. I came down with some sort of sickness. I felt tired, dizzy, and had
a headache all week. It's gotten a lot better this week, but the
headache is still there. The mission nurse thinks it might be related to
allergies, and wants to talk to me about them. I may be getting an
allergy shot this week. After having a runny nose 24/7 since I was 14,
you can say I'm pretty excited by the possibilities. I need you to do
some research for me, Mom. What are some supplements I can take and
foods I can eat to increase my energy? My ability to do the Lord's work
is being hindered by my constant exhaustion. (I think being a
missionary is exhausting. I wonder if his medication he takes causes
tiredness. I know allergies can make you tired too. So....does anyone
have ideas about supplements or foods he can eat to increase energy?)
(Since
his grandma and grandpa are both gone now....the grandkids were told to
pick out favorite things for inheritances. This is what Elder Campbell
chose.) Personally, I
would really like the metal Campbell insignia that has been hanging on
the wall in the basement, in the room at the end of the hall on the
left. I asked Dad once if I could have it, and he said no, but I'm going
in for a second chance?! (BUMMER...another cousin already took it. Ooops!) BJ finding that pin is a good find, I would
like something "Campbell-y" as well. I wish I could be with the family,
but I know where I need to be. (Luckily, Aunt Connie Jo found some Campbell signs we'll bring home for him. Hopefully that will be okay.)
The positive highlights of the week: 1. We had a lesson with Albert, which went really well. We have another scheduled for tomorrow. I believe he is the most likely investigator to be baptized this transfer. (I'll pray for him!!!)
2.
We had a zone meeting! I think the best way to describe the Fort
Collins zone is it is "stacked". There's a lot of good missionaries working
here and we may even set a record for baptisms in Fort Collins in a
transfer. We shall see!
3. We taught Michael the final investigator discussion on Saturday. He is seriously considering baptism. Prayers are needed all around for him. (This investigator has come and gone so I'm hoping he'll be baptized.)
I'd like to ask another favor. Could you work on getting me my
priesthood line of authority? Oh yeah, I also got a letter from Molly
this week. I guess the song we made is on Amazon and Itunes now. You and
all your friends should go buy it. (I'm not sure what the name of the song is...I'm guessing it might be this that I found on Amazon.http://www.amazon.com/
Love,
Elder Andrew Campbell
