Hello
Friends and Family,
Wow, so much happened this week. One
night this week, I was giving a blessing with the help of my companion of
course. It was crazy in the middle of the blessing her body started to shake
violently. I felt a really bad spirit coming from her. It was a feeling I can’t
explain, it was if her body was rejecting the blessing. My companion looked a
little shaken up and he didn't tell me anything so I assume it wasn't good. On
the bright side though, I have amazing experiences every day. Last night we ate
fish. After the meal I realized every person at the table had a heap of bones
on their plate except for me. I feel fine, a blessing from the Lord I guess
after eating all those fish bones. In Tuman, lately they have been burning all
the sugar farms. Every day black ash and soot from the sky just drenches our
white shirts and us. It is always so hot here and it is only in the spring. My
companion and I found a gym here in Tuman so that was fun.
I have humbling experiences here every day. A couple days ago, I went in the back "room" to help my pension with the dishes. I quickly realized where she had been cooking for us the last two weeks. There was nothing but some pots and pans on a dirt floor. I held back my tears as I realized how happy she was with absolutely nothing. I am so grateful for this chance I have to serve a mission. I am humbled every day. It reminds me of my savior and how he washed the feet of his apostles. I want to love these people as much as he cares about us. Thanks for all your letters and support. I feel your prayers constantly.
Love,
Elder Goold
