Grandma's Halloween Bash

By Curry -

We have such a good grandma! Inquisitive kid 3 was asking me since the beginning of September if grandma was going to have another Halloween party this year. Finally I dialed the phone and let Emma ask her. She said, "sure, since everyone liked it so much." The kids all had a great time. We had a yummy soup dinner, trunk or treat and games with their ward at the church house and then the kids decorated pumpkins with odds and ends sewing stuff. And no party would be complete without "DON"T EAT PETE!" It was fun to see them interact and celebrate this fun holiday together. Thanks grandma!

Hey guys! So this weeks definitely been a change. Its been quite a bit of a struggle. I'm wanting to help the people and dive right into the work, but its kind of hard to do that in a Spanish speaking mission and not being able to speak Spanish, and if the people don't let us help them. We are on the streets for about 3-6 hours a day trying to make contacts and find more people to teach with little or no success. Its definitely not been good for me. I like to feel like whenever I do something to see results, but I'm not seeing results and i was getting down pretty hard on myself. But i have to realize that i probably wouldn't stop and talk to someone out on the street that had a message about religion either, so with that in mind we are doing OK i guess. I just wish there was more i could be doing out here, but there's not much I can do without taking away their agency, and that's not what we are about. Well anyways like i said before my Spanish is ...

Octobre 28, 2019 Contacting and Catholics

By -
Hey all so this week has been exactly what the subject line says. A lot of contacting, all of which are Catholics. You might be thinking, "Elder Gunnell, everyone cannot be Catholics." And what I say to you is yes Everyone that we've talked to are Catholics. A really big change from everyone being a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints to Catholics, but it's pretty great. But yeah this weeks just been a lot of signs and English classes.  We had Zone conference this week and there was a lot about managing stress. Just different ways we can deal with it and get over it. And then president Hess talked about being all in to the work. FULL SEND!!! And he also was stressing a lot on the role that members have in missionary work. Missionary work is member centered, and missionary supported.  Someone that we picked up this past week came to church yesterday so that was a really big blessing. We were going to commit a family to baptism t...

Dear Brother and Sister Gunnell, Thank you for your help in sending your son, Elder Joshua Dee Gunnell, to serve in the New Jersey Morristown Mission.  I had the pleasure of welcoming Elder Gunnell at the  Newark International Airport.  Enclosed is a picture of him with Sister Hess and me and a picture of him with the other missionaries that arrived with him . We have also included a letter regarding the communication process and some ideas of how you can feel a part of the mission while supporting Elder Gunnell. I interviewed him and found him eager and prepared to be an outstanding missionary. Sister Hess and I look forward to working with him and consider him as if he were one of our own sons. His new companion and trainer is Elder Reese Keith Mayhew from Queen Creek, AZ .  The address to which you can send first class letters to Elder Gunnell for this transfer period is:           ...
