What
up everyone!!! I hope you all are having an amazing week I am going to
appologize ahead of time if this email is kind of short but I will do my
best to hopefully make it GREAT!!! I hope you and your families are doing well
and i pray for the lords richest blessings to poured out upon you all!!
Well
I will start out by sharing a little spiritual message with you I hope it
helps in some way.
"most
of us have not reached [a christllike] stage of compassion and love and
forgivenes. it is not easy. it requires self-discipline almost greater than we
are capable of. But as we try we come to know that there is a resource of
healing, that there is a mighty power of healing in christ, and that if we are
able to be his true servants we must not only exercise that healing in behalf
of others, but, perhaps more importantly, inwardly." - gordon B. hinckley.
If
there is one thing I have come to learn in this companionship its been truely
becoming a diciple of Jesus Christ. I love the lyrics from this song.
"If
the savior stood beside me would I do the things i do?
would
I think I think of his commandments and try harder to be true?
Would
I follow his example, would I live more righteously?
If I
could see the savior standing nigh, watching over me.
If
the savior stood beside me would I say the things I say?
Would
my words be true and kind if he were never far away?
Would
I try to share the gospel? WOuld I speak more revrently?
If I
could see the savior standing nigh watching over me.
He
is always near me. though I do not see him there
and
because he love me dearly I am in his watchful care.
so
ill be the kind of person that I'd know I'd like to be.
If I
could see the savior standing nigh watching over me. "
I am
so greatful to be a representative of my savior, I love him and I pray that I
will always be worthy to carry his name. I know that its not just me but I know
that all of you who have been baptized represent our savior. I am so greatful
for my saviors atoning sacrafice and that it allows me to be worthy to live
with my father in heaven. I love this church it truely is great and such a
blessin.
Well
this week we have been really busy we have "pounded the pavement" i
guess you could say haha we are really trying to find some solid people to
teach, we know they are out there!! So this week we were able to start teaching
a family, we started teaching them on thursday and we had a pretty good lesson
with them the lady was so stoked to come to church on sunday and then her
fiance came with their baby and I guess the husband loved church, we are
looking forward to teaching them this week and hopefully setting them with a
baptisimal date. Then one of our other investigators that stopped us on the
street a couple weeks ago we had an amazing lesson with him and his wife!!
right now they are having some marrige issues and we had an amazing lesson
where the spirit was just so powerful it was awesome. I really feel like the
lord is placing those elect in our path. we are truely starting to be blessed
with wonderful people to teach. Our mission is getting pretty stoked to have
Elder Whiting come next week so we have been preparing alot for that.
Well
I love you all so much I pray that you all will have such a great week, thank
you for your prayers in behalf of this work it truely is moving forward and it
would be impossible without you. But there is so much more to do!! I love you
all so much continue to pray for those missionary opportunities!!!!! I love
ya!! oodles!!!
