Here's my letter to home.
My beloved brethren and sisters. How humbling it is to be here in the Great
Ohio serving the Lord Jesus Christ. I have been so blessed to be out here
serving my fellow man and sharing with them the message of the Restoration of
the Church of Jesus Christ. I am so privileged to be a member of this great
church and to be one of His disciples I have seen Him not only bless my life
but the lives of the people that I serve in Beaver Creek. Me and my Elder spent
10 hours with a man, who reminded me of both Santa Claus and Garfield, chopping
wood with him and becoming his friend. He was so grateful for our help and for
taking the time to talk to him. We tracted into this man and had only talked to
hm a few moments. I know the Lord has led us to Dan.
There are now 2 more people on date to be baptized in the next 30ish days. Dave Finch on the 29th and Duane Schutrum on the 12 of Jan. We have done our best to get these men in the waters and it finally payed off. At the beginning of this transfer, Me and my Elder had set 2 goals for a baptism and a confirmation for weeks 3 and 4. We are currently in week 3 and Kate Wilson is being dunked this Saturday. Dave is next week. God has helped us to fulfill these goals. We have pushed the mission goal forward from it originally being 500 at the end of the year to 501. I did not think this would be happening but it is. The Lord as blessed me with participating in all the lessons following up to baptism. Beaver Creek is now on fire with the Spirit. I thank Him everyday and night for calling me to serve in this area with an amazing companion. He is teaching me to be as bold as I have to be.
The missionaries serving in Xenia, the neighboring area, has taken the time to giving the missionaries they know a Star Wars name. I have been named Darth Vader. I went on exchanges last week with Elder Daw from Xenia and he changed my perspective on being a missionary as Darth Sidus did to Anakin Skywalker while my Elder Maughan has been dubbed C-3PO because of his intellect. I thought it was very entertaining.
There isn't much more to say now. All my thoughts have been recorded for your entertainment. Please enjoy. Hand right me letters. Missionaries love HAND written letters.
Love, Elder Ephraim Kade DeCoursey
