It's amazing how much a young person can change and still remain the same silly-sweet guy. Quinn has been wearing the black name tag for almost three months now, and whenever I get a letter I'm astounded at how much he's growing spiritually. He always reports the "miracle of the week" and there is always something miraculous! He's learning to be spiritually guided and a hard worker, and we pray that the one thing that he comes back really having made exceptional strides at conquering is time management ;-) His one complaint so far is that "some missionaries are pretty immature." But he'll just have to learn to work with all kinds of people -- and he is learning that. One sweet comment he made in a letter he wrote to Luke this week is:
"For the most part, missions are about serving people. Yes, we focus on baptisms, but anything we can do to help people is part of fulfilling our purpose. That's because missionaries represent Jesus Christ all throughout the world and we do what He would have us do."
YAY for growth!
