June 10th, 2019 Letter #83

The family was going to turn in their marriage papers on Saturday, but a close family member got sick so they went to take care of them instead. The next day that family member passed away. So now we don't know exactly how to move forward, but we'll have to keep with them so that they know that they´re loved. 

Isabel's daughter is supposedly still on for the 16th, but we haven't been able to talk to her very well about the subject so I'll call her tonight and see what she's thinking. It's hard because she's only here on weekends. 

I just called President to schedule a meeting if I remember right. It wasn't a huge thing. Zone conference was good. I taught about personal revelation and virtue. I started by doing an activity where the missionaries had to try to balance one of their shoes on top of the other the long way (nobody could do it). Then we read a quote by Joseph Smith about how trying to minister without personal revelation is in vain. So we talked about how missionary work is the same. I'm about to run out of time so I'll leave the rest pending, sorry. One thing to pray for is the aforementioned family.

Love you,

Elder Finlinson
