Well,
this week on of our best investigators got kind of mad at us. We
invited him to play soccer with the members at 7 in the chapel. The
thing is, the members never showed up! Then, when they came at 830,
they didn't invite him to play. That was kind of a bummer for us this
week.
Something great did happen this week.
Pamela, a lady who was inactive for like 3 years, came to church with
us. She also brought here 3 little girls and told us after church
something cool. "Elders, you need to come teach my husband this week!
He needs a little help but will be baptised for sure!" I'm really
excited to teach him, one day this family can be sealed in the temple!
We also had like 30 less actives attend church, which is just amazing to
me.
The way God works wonders always
surprises me. Sometimes we feel that all is lost, that we should give
up. In a second, in a quick gesture of love He changes everything. If
we get closer to Him, He showers us with blessings and with His love. That doesn't
mean there wont be trails, because a life without trials
wouldn't be worth living. Through the trials, like Nephi breaking his
bow, the persecution of the saints, and every other little thing, we
grow. We learn to root ourselves in the Gospel. We learn to rely on
the soft whispers of the Spirit rather than the loud shouts of the
world. I love the Gospel. I love my mission, even though its hard.
Ive become a better man and have shared the Restored Gospel with many. I
love you all, keep yourselves rooted and never let go of the iron rod!
Con amor, Elder Call
