I hope you are all healthy and happy!
This week was great! The investigators we're working with are really progressing well. Tylor and Juanesha are preparing to be baptized onJune 28th! They're so excited. We had an investigator who threw away all of his anti-Mormon literature (we walked with him to the dumpster!) We met some new people to teach, Michelle is one lady that we'll be helping as she quits smoking.
Saturday we had the opportunity to go up to Caesar's Creek to serve breakfast to the youth. Our stake had trek this weekend. It was so fun to see them all dressed up in their pioneer outfits. :) And I had fun flipping 500+ pancakes! :) I'll send pictures next week, I forgot to bring my camera.
I am so happy to be serving a mission! The gospel is the way! If we have Faith in Jesus Christ, repent, are baptized and receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end, we shall have eternal life! :) My challenge to you all is to read 2 Nephi 31 today. Before you read pray and ask Heavenly Father to help you to recognize a change you can make in your life to become more like him. I promise that as you read, He will answer you.
This week one of our investigators told us a funny story. She was talking to her fiance and asked "is cursing a sin?" he said he thought it was. So, she decided (without any prompting from us!) that she would stop cursing. And she said that she was coming out of the house when something surprised her, and she said something helped her hold back what she was going to say.
It's so great to see how the gospel changes people!
“True doctrine, understood, changes attitudes and behavior.
The study of the doctrines of the gospel will
improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior
will improve behavior. … That is why we stress so
forcefully the study of the doctrines of the gospel”
Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
(“Little Children,” Ensign, Nov. 1986, 17).
I love you all! Write me!
Also! Happy Fathers Day to the number one dad! I love you, Dad!
And a special shout out to my brother, Drew and his fiance Jamie! (They're getting sealed in the temple tomorrow!) Wish I could be there with you! Have fun!
