thanks for all of your prayers, i really have gained a strong testimony about
the power of prayer since i have gotten out on the mission. absolutely nothing
that can take it´s place. we had.... wait for it.... ten investigators in church.
absolutely fantastic to see the blessings of hard work and trust in the lord.
now to just have the same success this next week!
we don´t have p-day today, because wednesday we are going to the beach!
i will explain more next week with pictures!
my companion´s spanish continues to progress. if you are the praying kind, it´s
always nice to have a little bit of extra help. we are getting along great, even though
she is someone completely opposite of what i am.
but really great news guys.... my memory is all clean and healthy and not a bug in
sight! with all my pictures present and accounted for! i am soo excited! also found
out that i have taken over three thousand pictures on my mission... yea, that's 250
pictures a month roughly. and i still have a ton of room left on my camera!
most tender mercy... yikes. there were a lot. but probably having ten investigators
in church and having the members´ help every step of the way. there are not enough
words to exhort every one of you to do your part to help your missionaries bring
people to church, fellowship, or even sit with your investigators. it makes everything
so much easier as a missionary when the missionaries and the ward can work in unity
to bring people to Christ. there is no other alternative.
one of my favorite scriptures from this week... 2 nephi 31:20-21::ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of
hope, and a love of God and of all men.Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting
upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall
have eternal life. And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is
none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom
of God.::
it´s a powerful scripture that teaches us the power of enduring to the end. there really
is no other way to enter into the kingdom of heaven. just through our obedience and
our steadfastness in Christ.
some goals... speak spanish to sister naumu. read the scriputres at night, and don´t fall
asleep after we plan. it´s killing my neck and i wake up before the alarm which drives me
nuts!
i love you all!
