Family,
This email will be a
little shorter than normal. I'm leaving Dayton. After 1 year, I'm
headed out. But that's not the craziest part. Elder Chandler is
leaving too! Doubled out! I wouldn't be so shocked if just I was leaving,
but with both of us leaving I'm pretty nervous. I've learned a lot about
this area in a year, and I really hope that the new missionaries that take over
are able to keep up the work here well. Me and Elder Chandler have had a
lot of success here in the past few weeks, and I really want that to continue.
This past week was probably the best week I've had in all of my time
here, so I'm sad that I'm leaving just as the work is finally beginning to pick
up.
The man who came to
church last week is a miracle. He wants to change his life around
completely. We met with him almost every day this past week, and he
accepted an invitation to be baptized in July! We're super excited, but
that means I'm leaving here just before the 1st baptism in this area in over 4
years!
A whole bunch of
Spanish missionaries are getting moved, so when I email next I could be in
Cincinnati, Kentucky, or Indiana. We'll see what happens.
Hope you all have a
great week.
Love,
Elder Foote
