Missionary Dan Email #30 from Vancouver, Washington

Halloween costumesWe went to the Halloween trunk or treat. Raberta came and showed off her costume. I decided to turn my suit jacket inside out. It definitely is awesome. Yes, there are dragons on my bright gold yellow inside of suit. It is my favorite. We’ve been working with Raberta more and more and she is progressing well.

We have also worked a lot with Keelin. He is 10 years old and understands very well. We were teaching him about the baptismal covenant and were saying that we can renew it when we partake of the sacrament. He added in, “Yeah and doesn’t the bread represent his body and the water represent his blood?” We were taken back a little as we aren’t used to investigators saying things like that — even though it is common knowledge. He is simply a very smart kid and taught a bit by his member grandma.

The candy was great. Thanks for sending the shirt as well. We stayed at our apartment for Halloween because President told us to. We have been working and recently found some new investigators which always brightens what will come. It is awesome to have served for 2 years. It is somewhat strange to still be serving, but at the same time I am very grateful. There is no better way to spend the time I have.

I’ll see if someone in the ward can measure me for my tux. I’m sure that they can work with measurements I get. It sounds like the wedding plans are working out quite nicely. Happy Halloween. Today we are going on a hike with our Zone. So it is exciting! Thanks for all the support.

Love, Elder Willoughby

Who is this Rickety?

Rick at homeI'm Rick Willoughby. I live in Utah, a retired Software Engineer. I'm a Mormon, married with 5 children and 12 grandchildren.

I emigrated from England in my late twenties, bringing with me one small suitcase and a few dollars. I appreciate the opportunities America has given me and the friendliness of the people to new citizens.

I blog about my family as well as politics, religion, finance, technology, and other topics.
