Family,
It was fun to talk to you all yesterday. Sometimes missionaries’ work falls off after speaking with their families but you all made me feel a greater desire to work harder and be better, because i know i have greatness to look up to, and that much is expected of me. You all are true disciples of Jesus Christ, and examples to the world....especially Julie. I hope you all take the challenge issued by President Satterfield to read the Book of Mormon, he is truly an inspired leader over the Georgia Atlanta Mission, and its missionaries. Quickly i wanted to tell you about what we have going on in this area right now. We are teaching a family, Mom and 2 girls, 18 and 11; Latonya, Talithi and Iyana respectively. They were taught the gospel when they lived in California and went to church for about 3 months, then Latonya's mom told her she had to "quit going with the Mormons" so they stopped but the missionaries found them here about 2 months ago. Latonya is really busy with work, and the girls with school for the next two weeks, but we taught them on Saturday and they all want to know more and Talithia (18 yr old daughter) said she wanted to be baptized, so we are excited about teaching them. Another guy we are teaching is Sid Simmons, he has been taught for 6 years by the missionaries but has issues with Prophets, but Elder Sly and I are really excited because we are going to take an approach that other missionaries never have, and we hope that it will work for him, he’s a good guy just a little stubborn. We Also have a family (Mother Father, and 2 girls) that we haven’t started yet, and we won’t until the beginning of June, but we are very excited about them because they already know about the church, they have good friends who are members and the Mother told us that she is ready to become a member, she just wants to make sure that her family comes with her. So as you can see, we are truly blessed by the Lord in this area, and we look forward to the next couple months. Love you Guys so much, keep up the good work!
Elder Hendrix
