Hey yall! Let me get the temporal things out of the way first.
I
got the shoes last monday after I emailed you so that was good. They
work out great! They're very comfortable and seem like they'll last for a
good bit. Good find.
But yeah that's it for that stuff. Things are going
GREAT this week! I've got a new found fire for the work. I've been
getting pretty disappointed with people not keeping their commitments
lately but we've finally got two people ready to be baptized on the 13th
of April! I'm very excited for them. Audree is 25 and has two kids, a
little boy who's 5 and a girl who's 2, and she is just very ready for
the gospel. I'm sure I've mentioned her before. Her fellowshipping is
going great and she came to our Easter activity this past Saturday and
then church yesterday. I'm excited for her. Also this guy Wondell who
came to both the Easter activity and church is looking very good for the
13th. I'm excited. Please pray for them that they will continue to do
well. All is going good here in Marion. I'm very excited about
conference and the work here in April.
Being a missionary is so much fun. When you simply
choose to be happy things go 100 times better. It's easy to get down
when people are choosing to not listen to you and live in a way that's
super spiritually harmful for them but it's always good knowing that
good times are ahead. Good things are always in store and people need
this message. Working with members is so successful by the way.
Missionaries always need their help. If yall are ever bored just give
the missionaries a call and let them know you're willing to go out and
fellowship with them. Having a member friend is the best help in helping
people come to church. That's often times the extra incentive that
people need to follow through with their commitment to come. People who
don't know anyone in the church very rarely make it. My testimony in
member work has increased so much as we've utilized the members so much
out here this week. We're building up the amount of young adults in this
branch through fellowshipping and activities. That Easter activity
which was just a potluck and Easter egg hunt was a huge success. We had
five nonmembers there and one recent convert who hadn't been to church
in almost 6 months there. Many of the members were out of town but we
still had a wonderful activity with about 30 people there. I really
enjoyed it.
My invitation to you would be to find some time to go out with the missionaries at least once this week. Call them up and let them know what free time you have available and even offer your home up to have someone be taught in it. You'll make a great new friend if nothing else. The work will only truly hasten if the members are actively involved in the missionary work.
Love yall, Good things are going here I can't wait to hear yalls insights on conference :D
