Friends and Family,
Here is the latest letter from Elder Troy. The flood waters have receded enough so he is now back in his apartment. If you’d like to write him, the US mail is finally operating normal. His address is:
He doesn’t think they’ll be mucking out houses for much longer, but they will be doing service related to the hurricane “for a looooooong time.” We recently sent him a few respirator masks for those remaining muckings. He’s happy to share one with his new companion so they can go all in. He’s really hoping another hurricane doesn’t hit because he can’t take being cooped up that long again. haha2931 Barker Cypress DriveApt. 1212Houston, TX 77084
Thanks for all your love and support of our son.
Much love,
JD & Terri
Hey Y’all!
——————————————————
So it was another exciting week here in the field. I have a new companion, Elder Simmons, from Alpine, Utah. He's great!
This transfer, we’re just covering the west lake ward, and we're on bike! On cool days and at night, it's great! But when it's hot...Anybody who knows me well know i sweat way too much already. So biking is interesting.
“J" and her boyfriend “T" are two of our investigators and they both have baptismal dates. “J” is doing awesome, she came to church this week even. “T" not so much. We haven’t seen him in a bit, and we're appropriately concerned.
Service feels like it's wrapping up somewhat. There’s still weeks of work to do, but anyone that’s willing to take help seems to have already gotten it. The missionaries I’ve been serving with have improved SO MUCH. They’ve been working so much harder this last week, for whatever reason. Some of the neighborhoods around us are suing the city. Apparently the engineering firm that made the reservoir told the city to not give building permits within a certain area, but the city gave out permits anyways. Unsuspecting homeowners then lost everything.
We had zone conference this week with the whole mission, and my trainer is training AGAIN. This is a pic of him and I with my two “brothers".
This is also a pic of us eating at conference, with my MTC companion Elder Chamberlain at the table. My new companion is giving me rabbit ears haha.
Have a great week Y'all!
