"Stresses and blessin's." The week of September 13th.

A good week for Elder Bellomy. He describes it as a week full of "stresses and blessin's."

For starters, he got letters from three members of the family. He is always excited to hear from us. Three in one week is a great week for him.
Anyone is welcome to send him postal mail. He'd love to hear from you.

His address is:
Elder Andrew Bellomy
Texas Houston South Mission
4627 Austin Pkwy
Sugar Land, TX 77479-2146

More blessings and lives touched.
Elder Mulitalo and Elder Bellomy continue to teach and touch lives. This week Eldrew filled us in on the baptism of Ansu and Elizabeth. Steven, a recent convert to the Church...and newly ordained Priest performed Elizabeth's baptism. Eldrew is excited to see Steven grow and push himself in the Gospel.

Eldrew also reports that this week they began to teach a man named Ezekiel who has prayed and received a confirmation of the truthfulness of the 'Book of Mormon' and is going to be baptized early next month.

The missionaries also visit and teach members of the faith who have lost their way and no longer associate with the Church. Elder Mulitalo and Bellomy taught the Rodriguez family this week and the Spirit was very strong and they were able to answer the questions of one of the daughters who is about Eldrew's sister's age. He describes it this way:

We taught the first lesson and the Spirit was just very strong and everyone was paying attention and interested and it was just like D&C 50. When we teach by the Spirit of Truth, it is received by the Spirit of Truth and both are edified and rejoice together. There was just understanding on both sides...I could feel the spirit as I testified and the really less active daughter said, "you answered so many of my questions, I totally understand now." It will be cool to see them come back to church.

He finishes by saying:

Everything is going great here, I don't have much else to write about other than I love ya'll and I'm excited to have eternity with ya'll. It's all about enduring to the end (and no, I don't mean the last year of my mission...but that too).

And, of course...Eldrew PROMISES to send some photos home. (Have we heard that before?)
