Hey mother dear!! :)
This week has been really good! We worked extra hard and found some great people! I thank those who are constantly praying and fasting for me! The prayers and hard working are paying off. I have built such good relationships with members and investigators. This week we have found some new potentials who are very interested in our church! The greatest thing that happened this week was we gave a lady that is currently going through Dialysis a blessing! The Priesthood is an amazing thing. When you lay your hands on someone’s head it’s amazing to feel that close to the spirit. I won’t ever be able to explain everything because they are soo sacred. Another great thing that happened was we had a girl who's is in her 20's walk into church. She loved everything about it and wants to learn soo much more! Fast Sunday was very nice! Every person bore strong testimony! A lot of thoughts came into my mind about missionary work and how angels are there constantly to bear me up in times of need! I have had soo many great experiences since I have been out here! I'm working on not being Prideful and having more experiences to be more humble so that i may learn what the spirit is trying to teach me. The reason why I feel this was is because i was reading in Mormon 8 and Moroni 1. the part that hit me the most was Moroni said-- Christ hath shown me unto you and I know your doing-- verses before talk about pride so I thought to myself-- How prideful am I?-- We taught a Less-Active this week who hasn't been to church in over 3 years! He said that lately he has been waking up with a smile on his face because he is meeting with us. He said that he is such an angry person but has felt happiness to know that he is trying to change his life again. After the lesson he said the most humble prayer I have heard in a long time. It touched my heart.
I remembered today that it is Colton’s b-day! :) The ward has been soo good to us lately and we have heard from lots of people how very proud they are of us! They are proud because we have done our best about trying to reach out to the less active friends and we have been doing our best to serve them in any way possible! Mom I thank you for the letter you sent me! I know you think you are being preachy but I have and am learning soo much from you! Remember this -- seek the advice of your father and mother and put it to practice-- <3 I am still studying those papers you send me about my questions last week. Thank you again for that. Wayne, one of our investigators is driving to Israel next week, so last Thursday we met with him and his family! He sure is crazy and would never come into this church but I love them soo much! They are trying soo hard to make us into Christians! Dumb I know! But we have a good thing about him. We found out that he is ranked number 300 in the world in Black Ops the game! a guy with no legs and one arm is ranked 300!!!! hahaha he said the reason why he got into it was because he wanted to talk to people about Jesus! Shows how crazy he is hahaha his name on Xbox is called - The Preacher man JC-- Anyways we have met some cool potentials this week! We will set some baptismal dates soon and hopefully get someone baptized! Thank your brilliant letters mum! Sorry my emails are simple sometimes.. I will do better at putting more detail and more stories into them!
I love you! Thanks for being amazing parents to me!
