hey everyone! sorry! not a lot of
time! it was transfer week this week and we became mini assistants to the
president and helped the real assistants out a ton! so we have been crazy busy!
things have been good here!
we fasted for families and prayed
to be able to find them. yesterday we received a referral for a family and we
are going to receive more from some other members today! what awesome miracles!
God is good!
quick tip: dont door knock in
okemos when there is an msu game on. especially when they are playing oregon
haha our whole area is just HUGE msu fans. all the professors live in our area.
so we were door knocking all day saturday looking for families and long story
short, people dont want to talk during the day of the game. or even the weekend
of the game haha. the only time someone gave us the time of day was during half
time. no joke. but this week will be better! !
julie came to church! it went ok
haha you never really know what you are going to get at a testimony meeting. we
are going to see her right after this. we had a great lesson with another one
of our investigators named dave. he has been somewhat interested, but not
totally. we hadnt seen him for a while. we had taught him the restoration and
the gospel of Jesus Christ and he was doing alright with it. wouldnt accept a
baptismal invite. but then we taught him the Plan of Salvation and it all
clicked. he loved it! he was saying it all made so much sense and that it
changed everything! he accepted a baptismal invite and said that now he really
was pondering if he should be baptized in our church! he said he would come to
church, didn't show up. but this week itll happen! what a miracle.
things are going well with kevin.
he is so awesome. made some huge strides in our lesson yesterday.
alma 28:8 is a good summary of a
mission. its the perfect summary of a mission. “And
this is the account of Ammon and his brethren, their journeyings in the land of
Nephi, their sufferings in the land, their sorrows, and their afflictions, and
their incomprehensible joy, and the reception and safety of the brethren in the
land of Jershon. And now may the Lord, the redeemer of all men, bless their
souls forever.” the Book of Mormon is wonderful. I
know that if you have gospel questions and you pray about it, ponder it, and
search the words of the prophets, the Lord will reveal the answer to you. I
love learning. there is nothing like learning. here is a quick thought to end
the letter. everybody has needs. some of these needs fall into basic
categories. here are four of them from maslow’s heirarchy of needs: belonging,
validation, physical needs, and knowledge. think about how the Gospel fulfills
those needs. That is one reason why the Gospel is so powerful. it tells us we
BELONG to God's family and have the potential to belong to an eternal family.
we belong to a huge church family as well! eph 2:19-20. it VALIDATES us because
it teaches that each of us are of infinite worth, and that the only Holy and
perfect Being to ever walk this earth laid down His life for each of us! we are
all of infinite worth, and no matter what we have done, there is still hope.
God cares much more about where we are going then where we have been. 1 ne 11:
17. romans 8: 16-17. there are PHYSICAL and TEMPORAL blessings given for
living the commandments. mosiah 2:41. and if you want KNOWLEDGE all you have to
do is come and get it. there is an infinity of knowledge waiting in the Gospel
for everybody who seeks it. alma 12: 9-11.
