Well the week has been a lot better. We have had
some struggles just trying to build the church
here. We had a lot of success this week. Elder Erickson and I are both
determined to have success here. We want to "succeed as bad as we want to
breathe." We were really busy this week with service activities and
appointments. We taught the peters (the German Mennonite family) on Saturday
night and they are our new investigators! We have appointments
with them all through out the week. We taught them about faith and
answered questions that they had about our faith. What a neat experience
it has been being able to help establish the church where there is no
church. It feels like the old days where the mission president sends
you out and says "alright well establish the church and make it happen."
I don't think we will have a branch here for a while
though, but we will still continue to build the church. And so far it is
going really good. The community knows we are here. Everyone at service
loves us. So it is going really good.
We got in contact with the De Vears the Filipino family so hopefully we will be teaching them this week.
I
am glad that this work helps you stretch and grow. All I want to do in
life is succeed in everything I do and my mission has really taught me
that. I have been able to put in all my effort in everything I have done
here, some things didn't work at all, and so we reevaluated and went
back to work. I am grateful for this time of my life.
Last night
we had a miracle. We got a call from a member and we ended up going to
see an unknown less active member that wants to come back to church. We
will be seeing him sometime this week.
Well I know that prayer is real and that the answer isn't
always given right away. But it does come. I have found power through
the scriptures, they are true. The only way to know if anything is true
is to ask god if it is. Either it is or it isn't. But it is and I testify
that it is true.
Love you and all of you so much. :)
