Yeah, time is flying out here. It's very crazy. I'm incredibly
excited about the work. It's going so well. This month should be a good
one. Transfers are next Wednesday so two weeks from now I'll let yall
know where I'm at. I'm trying to do all I can to leave this area with
lots of momentum here so the next Elder here can see lots of success.
I'm glad you're having success and a positive outlook on your
missionary efforts. I hope they continue. Just know that no effort is
wasted. Simply by being a great example and then letting people know
that church is such a great part of your life will open their hearts for
future opportunities. It's so much better to teach someone who knows
members of the church because they know that we aren't what some of the
media depicts us to be. You think after a Mormon ran for president
people would get the picture haha. But people always benefit from
multiple good examples and people who are fellowshipped stay active.
You quoting that scripture reminded me of this scripture I read
this morning simply because I'm trying to memorize it. I've been reading
in the old testament and just came across it today. I don't remember
exactly what it says yet but it's 1 Kings 10:7. It's when this lady from
a far off land comes to meet King Solomon, after she hears and
experiences his great wisdom in person she says at first she didn't
believe but after her eyes saw it, the greatness exceeded that which she
had heard. (or something along those lines) Basically the reason I like
it so much is because of the parralel I made in my head to us
approaching our Savior. While we believed, it's going to be so
overwhelming seeing the matchless love that our Savior has for us. I
bet the perception that we have of Christ's love and glory is not even
half of what we can imagine. It's amazing to think that the great love
that I feel Christ has for me, is so small in comparison to how much He
actually loves and cares and helps me. I try to recognize my daily
miracles but His hand is literally in everything good in my life,
whether I can tell that they're good or not. The more I think about it,
the more peace I feel in my heart. Every little breath of life that I
take is another gift from him. How amazing is it that we get to live and
experience this mortal life.
We're working with some great people right now. Our investigator
Sandra is just so prepared. She's such a spiritual person and has so
much love in her heart. I don't think I've seen a person with more
unconditional love in her heart. She came to church for the first
time yesterday and just loved it. She feels the spirit so strongly and
recognizes us as servants of our Heavenly Father. I'm very excited to
see her accept all the blessings of the gospel in her life. Just pray
that things continue to go smoothly with her. We've been working with
her for quite some time and the first time she came in contact with
missionaries was May of last year. I'm very excited for her.
I still really miss the temple. I'm excited to go again one day though. Hopefully near the end of this year.
Thanks for sending me those. It's a really big help. The mini
Preach my Gospel is treating me very well. It's good to have two out
here. I take the little one to meetings and things so it's convenient
that it's so much easier to carry. We've been able to distribute copies
of the Book of Mormon. We're always out finding new people wherever we
go. This week we've been teaching a lot of the people we're working with
right now and helping them prepare to live a strong and active life in
the gospel. I'll do my best in keeping in touch with everyone. Just let
them know how much I love them and I'm sorry that I can't talk to them
as much as I'd like. But things are busy and I'll have lots of stories
for them in the future. I'm keeping up my journal so I don't forget
anything :D
Love yall hope yall have a great week :)
