Hi Mom!
I miss and love you so much! I hope all at home is well. I imagine by now you've probably talked to Jacob now and I'm super excited that you'll be getting to see him soon! My week of missionary service in Eita has gone well. I am constantly experiencing new opportunities to develop my character and testimony and am trying as best I know how to serve God with all my heart, might, mind and strength. This past week I have come to more fully realize my appreciation for Heavenly Father's Plan of Salvation. Aatiera Enota- one of our recent converts and active member of the ward I attend-passed away a few days ago as a result of an unexpected heart attack. Two days before his original baptismal date in April he had a similar heart attack that caused his heart to stop for over an hour before being re-stimulated by a priesthood blessing we gave and AED treatment at the hospital. When the doctors cleared him to go home he was baptized the Saturday thereafter and endured faithfully until his unexpected end. He was sustained in church to receive the Aaronic Priesthood the last sacrament before his passing away. Aatiera had a wife and four young children, all of which were sad to lose him, but blessed with the reassurance that they would all be re-united through the power of Christ's Atonement. I was blessed to feel an immensely powerful spirit as Aatiera's wife and four children humbly sang "We Are One Big Happy Family" during his funeral service and bore testimony that families are truly forever. I'm so grateful for Heavenly Father's Plan of Salvation made available to each and every one of his children through Jesus Christ, our savior and redeemer. The privilege to serve and stand as a witness of Jesus Christ is an honor of which I will forever cherish. As always, please send my love to the family! Elder Morphonios
