Simple meals I can fix!

This week as the title has been one of much finding! A lot of our solid

amis are either out of town or have stopped answering calls :( mais

C'est la vie. At the beginning of my mission we would have been just

doing a lot of contacting and trying to go "ham" but Elder Curtis and

I are trying another technique. In our area book there are a lot of

potentials that only have addresses and no numbers. So we have been

putting their addresses and passing them and it has actually been

going quite well. We have this new friend Kevin and his family. He has a

very unique story on how he started following God, and I

would like to share it with you. Back in the year 2000 Kevin was

camping with two of his friends near to a cliff. It was night and they

were talking around a campfire, when suddenly, one of Kevin friends disappears. Kevin and his other friend start searching for their friend frantically and the next thing Kevin knows he is in the hospital. What happened was Kevin's friend had

fallen of his chair backwards and skidded down this steep slope and

off of the cliff. It was about 25 meters on the downward slope and

25-35 meters of this cliff. When Kevin and his other friend found he was missing Kevin had blindingly went through the same fate and fell off this cliff. Miracously, Kevin and his friend both survived but they both came out of this experience different. Kevin changed the course of his life traumatically and started living the principles that he had learned since his youth. It is such a amazing story of

survival and preserving. He didn't come out of this accident without

scars. He is missing some muscles in his back and he has some

gashes on his  head. But one thing that I omitted to say about Kevin is he

is probably the most fit person I have ever met.  His house is

filled with trophies of running and karate events. I actually think his

fitness level helped him to survive. He also showed us some moves with

his nunchucks.  

Our Branch President, his wife, and two grandchildren were in

an autoroute accident two days ago so if you could keep them in your

prayers. I think Soeur Savreux got injured pretty bad.

Love you all family and friends and have a great week! As well if you

have not started doing genealogy, you need to start. I have

started looking at my family tree 3 weeks ago and it is really a

wonderful thing to see.

Love you all!

Enthusiastically and Sincerely,

Elder Duffy
