Happy day,
The weather is cooling nicely here and I've donned a
sweater, which actually is embarrassing because I would have thought I would
have been able to handle the cooler temperatures more easily. At least everyone
seems to think so since I'm from Minnesota. Cold is cold. Hot is hot.
The leaves are falling and to my own peril I've begun trying
to hit as many leaves on the ground as possible on my way to appointments and
visits. The crunching sound is delicious.
We had a wonderful visit and Bible study with a man this
week who is Baptist. He even gave us a lift to our next appointment. He asked
us what the basic differences are between our beliefs and those of most of the
rest of Christianity. We told him about the Godhead. We believe that Heavenly
Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are physically separate, but perfectly
united in purpose. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have perfected bodies of
flesh and bone and the Holy Ghost does not have a body, which is why we can
feel Him in our hearts and minds. That's the most fundamental difference. We
went from there, but all our discussion really hinged on that understanding.
The discussion was very respectful and I felt the Holy Ghost guiding the
conversation, so I felt good after Elder Deal and I left to go to our next
appointment.
It's a small world. Elder Deal and I had prayed to know what
street we should visit and get to know the people on and invite to learn more.
Both of us received the name of a particular street, so we headed out and ended
up meeting three families that were very welcoming and cool with us coming by
again. We spoke at length with one family and I came to find out that they knew
a family I had come to know well in my last area in Caldwell. Of course, it's
not that far away from Kuna, but it still was amazing to make that
connection.
Lots of cancelled appointments and the BYU/BSU game made our
Friday one of testing our patience. People idolize football out here, which
actually is the same seemingly everywhere else in America.
Transfer calls came in and I, Elder Deal, and most of our
Zone will be staying here in Kuna! I am glad I'll be here through Thanksgiving.
I am grateful to be here.
We nearly died of cute this past Sunday when the Primary
program occurred at church. Lots of kids ages 4-11 sang and shared messages
about families being together forever. The whole program went off without much
a hitch, which is nothing short of a miracle apparently.
All is well! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Love,
Elder Adamek
p.s. Ok, so I was happy to hear about the Golden Gophers
defeating Purdue in dramatic fashion.
