Doing better finally, maybe

We were able to chat with James last Sunday night via Google Hangouts.  Here are some of his posts to us:



I got sick again this week and we have no idea with what, so I being run through just about everything to help, other than that, I am good!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYRA!!!!!!! 15 NOW!!!! MALAKAS KA!!! (Happy Birthday in Tagalog).  You'll be driving soon!!!  NEW DRIVER ON THE ROAD!!! Just don't be scared and you will kill it!! And pay attention to what mom and dad do, that helped me!! 

Gerald is doing great!! Reading, coming to church, it is really cool to see the progress he is making, Like a light slowly getting brighter, so cool!!!  Plans are for the beginning of April for baptism, so there is plenty of time to get lessons done for him. 

So we had exchanges with the other district on Tuesday and I had a blast being in another area and talking to seriously everyone.. 


Then on Wednesday we had 5 week check up for my companion, Elder Levasa and headed to San Pablo. This whole week I wasn't feeling the best so Sister Davies sent me to go get checked and nothing came up but still didn't feel the best, then I rested Saturday and that was my week really..

This month is Mission tour and we will be with Elder Wakolo of the Area presidency and meeting with him, that will be cool!!

Here is his spiritual thought for this week:

Recently I have struggled with not feeling adequate as a missionary and not doing well enough because I have been sick almost the whole time. People don't come to church, they don't progress, etc., so I feel like I am failing. I had a thought one day to open up the Preach My Gospel book to the "success as a missionary" section. That was a needed reminder for me. I looked at the picture of Christ by my desk and knew that he knew, I was trying my hardest and my best even if other don't see it because of my sicknesses and numbers. He know you are doing your best if you are really giving it, he knows you, he knows exactly what you are going through and he will help you, you just need to put your faith and trust in him and he will do the rest. 

Love, 
Elder James Dunyon
