Dear Family!
Me and Elder Morco have had an amazing week of
missionary work. We had tons of success this week, teaching people, and
tracting and everything else. We had a cool experience with Lindsey and Dom.
They are our investigator family. They had their friend Olivia and Us come over
for dinner. So we had a nice dinner, it was really weird because it was like
normal white person sized portions. Im used to members loading my plate so
full, that its heaping, and i cant even see the plate anymore. Then they give
me a second or third plate of food to eat. So it was nice for a change up, to
eat a normal amount of food. But that wasn't the best pa! rt of the visit. We
taught them the Plan of Salvation. Dom grew up in Catholic school, so he knew a
lot about the Bible, so he had lots of good questions. The lesson went amazing!
It was a different kind of lesson though. The two little 2 year old girls were
going crazy! They were screaming, fighting, kicking, yelling, playing, running,
crying, whining, and everything thing else they could possibly do to distract
the Parents in the Lesson. But we made it through pretty good. I noticed a
couple of times that while i was bearing my sincere testimony on a part of the
Plan, that it would get deathly quiet, something hushed the kids for 10-15
seconds. The spirit came super duper strong, and bore witness of the Truth. It
was cool how it happen, we committed them to Baptism, and Lindsey said she
wants to get baptized! Dom has some questions/concerns, but said it is a possibility.
Then we had another cool experience on Sunday. We were
visiting an investigator named Paula. We stopped by while she was playing with
her dogs in the front yard, and we started talking to her. Then we shared a
message about the Book of Mormon, i was going through the pictures that are in
the front of the Pros- Book of Mormon, that explains the whole story of the
Book of Mormon. As i was talking about the Pictures, A man came out of her
house, and he was angry. He started swearing at us and told us to go away, he
told Paula that we are teaching her a bunch of lies to make her join our Colt.
He said some of the most profane things i have ever heard. Paula told him to go
back inside. So he goes in for like 2 minutes, and runs back out yelling at us
and telling us he is going to fight us. Then Paula tells him to calm down and
go away. He came out like 4-5 times just screaming and swearing at us. Every
time he left we jumped straight back into the lesson on the Book of Mormon. As
we were talking about the Book the most peaceful feelings were there. But as
the guy came out swearing it all just went away. It was totally a black and
white difference of the Spirit being there, and it not being there. We finished
our lesson, and headed somewhere else. I was wondering why that had to happen,
then i thought maybe it was a good learning experience for Paula. So that she
could feel the spirit, and know the good feelings that come when we are there.
So hopefully it was good for her, and hopefully Paula saw how we didn't react or
get mad, but kept our cool and had the Spirit.
So we visit a less active family every single Friday, the
Clifton family. They have a grandson that just pertinently moved in with them
this last week. He is 12 years old, his name is LG and he hasn't got baptized.
He really wants to get baptized, and his Grandparents want him baptized too! So
we had a quick message and prayer with them. Then they came to church!! It was
the first time the Grandparents have come for a really long time!! It was
really exciting, so now we are gonna start teaching LG!
Love you all so much, Have a great week!
Love Elder Morgan Durocher

Elder MJD,
I got the letter from President Werner today and was
excited to read about his thoughts about you and your service. Good job !
From the itinerary it looks like you will have a night
flight from Honolulu, leaving at nearly 9pm, arriving in SLC at 7:11am!
Wow Cool! You left August 1st and come back August
1st! You know I'll be there!
Love you my fine Son!
Mom.
