Sorry this has taken me so long to get out. I have been in a two week nightmare music education course that ended Friday. We had the opportunity today to go to Eric's first companion's homecoming. The first companion is called their trainer. He had great things to say about Eric and how well he is doing right now. We had our picture taken with him on my phone, and I have posted it at the bottom of the letter. Eric will be thrilled that we got to meet him.~Linda
Dear Family and Friends,
This week has been really good with missionary work. Elder Furner and I gave three people dates for them to be baptized and they were very excited about it. One of them is named Analia. She is a really outgoing Haitian woman who is really willing to act on our message. She is so funny. She was telling us about the dream she had the night before about how a really tall giant came to her and said, "Analia, you are always praying, and now today you will get something you need." She said that when she woke up she was waving her right arm and saying, "thank you Jesus thank you Jesus." She was showing us what she did and it was really funny. The day she had the dream was the day we returned and taught her another lesson. That was yesterday. She is awesome! She was so excited that we are teaching her. She said that she would be baptized on the 26th. The other two were Jeffery and his wife. Jeffery is in his 40's and he has serious ADHD, but he loves learning from us and he tells us that he was baptized as an infant, but that he feels it wasn't right and that he needs to be baptized again. He told me that he feels the spirit in this church and that it is something that he hasn't felt quite like that before. He says that this church is a 'living' church and not a 'dead' one, where the spirit of the Lord is not present. He recognizes that the spirit is with us and that this message can deeply bless his life. He loves to talk with people and he is very pure in heart—probably one of the most pure in heart I have ever met in my life. His wife is very nice too. Her name is Emma and she agreed to be baptized on July 24th with her husband and her family, if they choose to do it also. We haven't yet asked the kids if they want to be baptized.
We have been exacting our obedience so much lately, and we have been finding many awesome investigators. The work is going really well.
I am staying in Miami Shores for another transfer. This way we will be able to continue the success we started having together at the end of this transfer.
Love, Elder Seamons
