February E-mails

We have been busy and unable to update Daniel's blog for several weeks. The following is a summary of the news since Feb. 2.

Daniel got a new companion on Feb 2. His name is Elder Dorius. He is from Idaho and is really nice. They have several people they are working with, but they are having a hard time getting them to come out to church. They seem to think having the missionaries come to their house is the same as going to church. They do have a 13-year old boy who has come to church. His name is Suede and he seems to be excited to do what they ask him to do. There is a zone conference this coming Friday in State College. Daniel and his companion will travel to Williamsport on Thursday evening to make it easier to get there on Friday morning. Daniel sent us the following quote: "True righteousness is based on the intent of the heart."

2/2/09 e-mail

Well I'm getting a new Elder today. I don't know who yet. I'm in Bloomsburg right now with another elder because he is getting a new companion, too. They had me and Elder Bakker drive here last night and the two elders who are getting transfered went to Harrisburg today. We are waiting for the two new elders to come here. They will get here around 2, I think, because the meeting starts at 11 and gets done at 12:30 and then they come back here. Then me and my new comp will have to drive back up to Sayre. So I will be able to email you again today and tell you who I'm with (as it turns out, Daniel was not able to e-mail again that day). If he is having his b-day with me that will be funny. What else? I had a list of stuff I was going to ask you to send me. I need some more zyrtec (I think that is how you spell it - it is alergy stuff). So if you could send that and also some dice and the rules for farkle and a deck of cards that would be great. Elder Bakker had the autobiography of Parely P. Pratt and I got a copy of it so I will send it to you. It is on cd. It is so good! You won't want to leave the car once you start it and it is like 12 cds. It is long, but way good. I think that you will enjoy it a lot. Love, Daniel
