Just a Quick Hello!

We did hear from Dallin yesterday, but there is not much to report.  They had kind of a rough week with a few baptisms falling through, he continues to deal with illness (I was so hoping he would be healthy this week), and they are running out of water.  I checked the weather and they have a good chance of rain later this week, so hopefully their water storage will be replenished.  Until then they are living on coconuts and really nasty well water.

He knows he is getting transferred to another outer island sometime around October 9th - details to come.  He was in good spirits, just totally exhausted.  It seems like he has alternating good weeks and rough weeks.  Maybe next week will be better.

Ed said that he thought of him this week when he read Alma 31:38.  Dallin had read the same scripture this week and it brought him comfort in his circumstances:

"38 And the Lord provided for them that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst; yea, and he also gave them strength, that they should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ. Now this was according to the prayer of Alma; and this because he prayed in faith."

From Dallin...
Thanks for all the prayers! I sure need them. We are actually going to get going right now. Our time is up :( thanks for the the emails! I love and miss you all a lot. Thanks so much for your support. Hear from you all next week :)

Love Dal!
