HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD THE BIG 50!!!
Hey everybody!!! :) Just a big shout out to my old man big papa on hittin the 50!!! :) Congratulations dad!!! A life full of love, dedication, and sacrifice!! I'm sure you all agree that Dad has been a huge influence in all of our lives.. And if it wasn't for him I would not be where I am today.. I credit who I am to who he is. Since I was young I always wanted to be just like him. A missionary like he was, a husband like he is, and a wonderful father as he has always been for our family.. I love you dad and I hope you the best on your big day!! You definitely deserve it!!! :)
Well I hope you are all doing fantastic and that this last week was a great week for you all!! I love hearing from you all and am so grateful for your love, support, and prayers! Please keep it up because I need it very dearly!!!! :) This last week was another great week!! We've been working really hard! I beat one of my own personal records which is always fun to continually stretch and grow. The other day we were blessed to talk with 109 of God's children in one day to invite them to come unto Christ!! It was really fun and enjoyed it very much doing it all in one day it was crazy!!! haha
Last pday was really fun!! We played ping pong with the district! I miss ping pong it's been far to long since I last played. Than after that we went to Abbey caves to see gloworms!! That was so cool I'll attach pics. Massive caves that go for ages and inside there's millions of glow worms all over and since it's so dark they look like stars all around you it was so cool!!! :) So that pday was a lot of fun!!! We're renting out the Kensington stadium again today with some members to play some basketball and volley. Can't wait!!
We had tradeoffs this week as always and both of them went very well and were a lot of fun!! Learned a lot from those elders and we experienced some miracles in their areas. We were able to invite a family to be baptized and they accepted the invitation so that was a beautiful miracle!! Miracles everywhere in the work of the Lord I love it!!! :) One of the tradeoffs with my favorite Elder Bills was a lot of fun!! We did heaps of service! Mowed a less-actives lawn, than our investigators behind them, and we saw that the neighbors next to them needed it as well so we knocked their door and offered our service! So that was fun:) Except the Jehovah witnesses were pretty upset by that. They were hitting that area hard as they always do, good on em:/. Right after their door aproach when the lady said no that's when we went and asked if she needed her lawn mowed and than we did it! They were off on the sidewalk giving us mean looks!! lol But just as Christ came not to be ministered unto but to minister so have we! We're here to serve and to help out in whatever way we can just as Christ did. Not to force doctrine down their throats. And than through that love and service that's how we find and the spirit does the rest of it:) So it's been good lately as always no reason to complain!!
Things have been super busy and we've had to do some random trips to Auckland just to move missionaries around. The other day we were driving for 6 straight hours which is big here in New Zealand haha But things have been good!! At church on our ward bulletin board there were some pics of me back home!!! Haha Some members did it as a joke! I don't know if they got it off my facebook or what but it was my pre-mission photos! lol So i'll attach that pic as well! That was really funny! Probably Imrahn, the RM that we saranwrapped his car:)
We went out to Whangaruru all Saturday and for church on Sunday and that was a lot of fun!!! Love it out there!!! We got transfers this week and hopefully I don't go but I've been here for 6 months now so there's a good chance I do go!! But we'll see I hope i stay I love the people here and this has been my favorite area so far of the mission!!!
Well I love you all very much and hope you have another wonderful week!!! And may the Lord pour out blessings upon you and watch over you all in all that you do!!!!! Arohanui!!! Love you!!!
Love Elder Devey
