Congrats to Danny on taking 3rd place in the PGA Championship. I was getting updates from all the members this week haha!
Elder Mapes and I have been working super hard! We're sprinting to the finish and it's great! I've seen a lot of missionaries during my time as a missionary, who don't sprint to the finish, and who just completely give up their last weeks in the mission field. I think it's super sad to see that. They don't reach their full potential. In a golf tournament if you're playing good the whole round you're not going to just give up on the last couple holes and double bogey out, it ruins your whole round. If you go home from your mission having given up for the last little bit, the rest of it is meaningless. If you're not going forward you're going backward.
We tracted a lot this week because a lot of our investigators cancelled on us. We were able to meet with Fred and he didn't come to church this week which was a bummer, but we reset his baptismal date again. It's super tough because the only thing that is holding him back from being baptized today is his health. If he was feeling good he would be a member already, but the cancer treatment is just brutal on him, and he started feeling not so good again this week. We met with Jay yesterday and we found out that she has a problem with drinking tea. We got all of the tea bags that she had a threw them away for her, and she is trying to stop now so that's good! She also said that she is going to do everything that she can to finally make it to church so hopefully that works out too.
Missionary work is my favorite thing. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to serve my Heavenly Father right now. I hope you all are doing well. Keep doing what's right and know that I love and miss you all! Talk to you later!
Love Elder Summerhays
