Our week was great again! Lots of interesting things happened. We had
service at Manna food bank. Went to the temple for asl night. Taught
lessons this week. One of our investigators is progressing towards
baptism. Her friend invited her to go to her church but she told her
she want interested because she is Mormon. Cool right? We drove down
to Yuma but all of our people we were going to meet and teach weren't
there it was alright though because we will see them this next week
and we had chick fil a while we're down there. I missed chick fil a.
We went to the Easter pageant every night for asl. It is really
amazing. Very well practiced and put together. Our branch went on
Friday to the pageant. The Phoenix asl elders went on Thursday and
Saturday to it and I met Elder Stott who is deaf and served in that
branch as a mini missionary. His family also was there and I got to
meet them. I never have met any other Stotts or Stott until I came on
my mission. Now they're all over the place. We are bringing an
investigator to the pageant tomorrow. We went to globe to give the man
who got baptized 16 days ago the Aaronic priesthood. It's interesting
how God makes things work out. We were planning to go do that on
Saturday but our plans for some reason needed to be changed so we went
Wednesday. We went to his house and he was in his wheelchair which was
interesting because normally he's in his hospice bed. We gave him the
priesthood with the elders that cover that area and their bishopric
member. Everything was good, that was the only visit that went though
that trip. Yesterday at church we were told that he was in a coma, we
were shocked. Then last night around 8:30 he died. He didn't make it
but we know it was his time to go. It is sad but joyous at the same
time. He was baptized only 15 days before his death and he held the
Aaronic priesthood. He was prepared. When we first set up his
baptismal date it was set for the 19th, 2 days ago but it had to be
earlier due to his condition. Everything works out. That is Gods plan.
We think he is in heaven teaching people about the things he learned
just before he died. I look forward seeing him teachpeople just like
he was taught when it is my turn to go.
Have a good week y'all
Much love,
Elder Stotts
