Dear Family and
Friends,This past week we were able to drive to
Fargo ND for a quad-Zone Conference! Ive never driven that
far before and definitely not while it was snowing! Very
fun! Elder Nash from the First Quorum of the Seventy spoke
to us missionaries while we were there and it was SO
spiritual! Dang he's a great teacher. On Monday we
attended a funeral for basically one of the founders of the
Bemidji, Minnesota Ward (im stationed in Cass Lake but I go
to church in Bemidji btw). He died at age 85 and was a
patriarch to a multitude of posterity, many of who are in
our ward. He was great man. On Halloween we basically did
service the whole day. We helped out at a book store for a
cool language-learning private school and then later we
helped out at a carnival for a different church. Saturday
night we went to the chili party at our church building and
then we participated in the trunk-or-treat that followed.
Our trunk was pretty awesome! On Sunday our recent convert
John Stacy bore his testimony (which was awesome) in
Sacrament meeting and it inspired me to bear my testimony
for the first time in church since I was a young child! I
honestly cant remember the last time I did that! It was a
very spiritual Sacrament meeting. After church we gave
blessings to some people and that was awesome. I gave a
blessing of healing to two old guys (one's a less-active
and one's an investigator) and it is just the COOLEST
thing to have the Spirit speak through you like that!
We also visited the headwaters of the Mississippi River
yesterday which was so cool! After the zone conference in
Fargo my companion and I were inspired to step-up our
obedience game and things have been going a lot better!
We've had about 5 referrals in the past week! Missionary
work is just so great. I'm learning so many things about
the gospel and im definitely the happiest when doing
missionary work. Obedience is SO important. Im also learning
things about myself that may have taken me years to figure
out had I not served a mission! Dang did I have some faults
before I came out here! Haha I still have many faults but
the Lord is helping me out so much! Prayer is SO essential.
On multiple occasions I have prayed fervently and often
about certain things for the Lord to help me out with, and
then throughout the day the Spirit just gives me great ideas
on how to fix the problems! The Lord is so great and so is
the Spirit. Coming out on a mission is the best decision ive
ever made and I don't know where my life would have
taken me if I hadn't chosen to come out here. I still
have SO much to learn and im excited to keep learning.
Love, Elder Adair
