Hello Family!!
This week has been AWESOME!!! We didn't teach as many lessons as last week, but the lessons we had were really good!!
I think I mentioned C, but in any case we set a baptismal
date for him! They coordinated with family, and they'll all be flying in
for his baptism on May 25th!! That's so soon! Like, 2 weeks away!
Crazy!! But we're really excited!!
We
had to drop one of our investigators with baptismal dates. His name was
J and he is going to be out of town in Arizona for the next two
months. Haha it's pretty crazy... But we'll pick him up as an
investigator when he comes back in July :)
Brother
C is SOLID!! When we come for lessons he basically tells us to
pretend that he doesn't know anything. So we teach the lesson as if he
is completely fresh. So we do. And afterward he told us that he read
through the homework. Twice. Hahaha I love having solid investigators.
He is ready :) He really is!! I can't wait for June!! IT'S GOING TO BE
AMAZING!!!!
Elder
Stauffer is AWESOME!!! He is funny. He feels kind of sick in the
mornings... And I think I know why. He complains because I snore. And I
think my snoring keeps him awake. And because he can't fall asleep, he
feels sick. So this week we bought ear plugs for him. He feels much
better in the mornings. :) haha!! But now I throw things at him before
we fall asleep and he can't hear it coming. It's awesome. :) He's
sarcastic too!! So we have sarcasm fights. They're really fun :) He's
also really hard worker and obedient. I'm starting to worry if President
is nervous about me. I've had 2 good companions in a row. Not that I'm
complaining, I love it!! Just saying ;) haha!
I'm
so excited for Sunday!! Mother's day is going to be better than my
Birthday!! Really!!! I'm so excited!!! I xan't wait to talk to you all!!
Granted, I don't know what I'll say. We'll probably just talk and that
will be nice :) I like hearing voices. I think I'll start using the
voice recorder more :) I haven't sent many pictures lately. I'll work on
that... Videos are good though. i'm glad you liked my videos :)
Spiritual
thought.... Well. yesterday we taught a lesson on the restoration of
the true church in Gospel Principles. The lesson was more focused on
qualities of the original church, and then qualities of the restored
church. Here were the qualities. 1) Revelation. 2) Authority.
3) Principles and Ordinances of Faith, Repentance, Baptism, and
Receiving the Holy Ghost. 4) Organization of Prophets, Apostles, Etc. 5)
Spiritual Gifts. Now, we can see that the current restored church of
Jesus Christ has EVERY SINGLE ONE of these qualities. Impressive right?
And if you think about it, how could the true church not have these
qualities? I don't understand how people can believe a church that
doesn't belive in Revelation. I could understand, TO AN EXTENT,
Authority. I don't understand how people can SOLELY belive that faith
alone will save. That doesn't make sense! It doesn't!! Perhaps I'm just
ranting in this thought, but what I'm saying is that this is the
true church for a reason. The best part about being on a mission is
being asked, "How do you know it's true?" Because we get asked that
enough that we have to figure that out. I would challenge anyone who
doesn't know why this church is true to find out. While receiving a
witness of the Book of Mormon is good, find a way to communicate your
knowledge to someone else where they too can understand why you believe
this church. So, My challnege this week is to figure out what your
testimony is :) Should be easy enough. have a fun time with it!!
Well
I've said enough. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day :) And if
not make it a good day. We can choose to be happy. I firmly believe
that. So if you aren't happy, make the choice to be happy :) Do
something important today!! And yeah. Just smile. Smiling is good :)
HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!!!
