Incredible Blessings

Dad!

My thanksgiving was good, not great, but good. We were
unable to make it to the turkey bowl so our day did not
start off well, a member who we had arranged to take us
bailedout at 5 am the morning of. We ate turkey dinner
with the Padgett family and enjoyed that thoroughly. It
sounds as though y'alls thanksgiving was typically
sensational.

Thats good news that the house is still coming along,
slowly but surely right? Rome wasn't built in a day :)
Luke 21:19.

That was wonderful to hear about the ward fast! Bishop
Stice is truly a great man. I remember when we held one
of those previous to me leaving, the spirit was so strong.
Speaking of spiritually strong experiences we were able
and privileged to hear from M. Russell Ballard. What
insight and instruction he gave us. I took so many notes
haha. He came and spoke to all the Houston missions and I
was able to see and take pictures with Elder Brown in the
Houston mission. It was a nice little reunion.

Well this past week has been great to be honest. There was
bad and good I guess. The bad is that Elder Draper, my best
friend, broke his collar bone. He, as of this moment, is
staying out and will not get surgery but that could change.
Elder Nelson who tore his ACL will be finishing his mission!
That's good news. I knew he would. We have three progressing
investigators who are on the cusp of baptism and we were able
to reactivate two people last month. One of which is Jasmine
Ramos and she has asked that I bless her baby this coming fast
Sunday. I was honored and said of course. The blessings I am
receiving Dad are incredible. I at times don't feel as though
I deserve them. I have never prayed so much in my life. My
knees are calloused from the many prayers I have offered.

I would like to take the time to thank you for the time you
made for me while I was under your roof. I was thinking about
it and you didn't really ever have "time" to play catch with
me but you made it. I am so grateful for all you have done
do and will do for and in my behalf. Calling me Larry Rice
helped me to not accept anything but my best on the football
field I hope you know :)
I love you Dad.

Love Elder Jarman
