Letter #36

So i read an amazing talk this week about gratitude. i hope all can read it and apply it in there lives. ITS AMAZING!

 

like dad always said "dont look a gift horse in the mouth"

 

we worked so hard this week and we commited 30 people to church! and no one went. i was so mad!!!  but then i started looking at all the blessings... every little thing... then i wasnt so mad and i was much happier.

 

this week im going to be trying to have the spirit as my constant companion to guide me in every moment. i want the people to feel what they dont have... aka "the holy ghost".

 

we have changes again in two weeks if i stay here in this area i will be part of another mission... our mission president will be going home the end of june. and we will get another one... and the other mission is getting a new mission president as well. ill go where the lord wants me to go.

 

my dad in the mission right now is my zone leader and it has been a blast to be working with him! usually that doesnt happen very often.

 

i love you all so much! and im greatful for every single one of you. im greatful for you letters, prayers and support. may God bless us with revelation so that we may know how to live more christlike lives...

 

lets not live below our priviledges... we are children of a heavenly father that loves us and wants to bless us. lets do all we can to win his blessings!

 

i got new shoes(boots for the rain). ill send photos next week. and my card expires or already expired this month :/

Letter #35

so this week can you send me the talk from cleon skousen "the atonement"

arrrg im getting a little frustrated because we cant bring people to church. another sunday with out anyone.  we had to people with baptismal date but they fell with dumb doubts. it made me so sad... noone understands what we understand. elder juergens says that they are "spiritually five-year olds" they dont understand...

the catholic church just lies to everyone and they believe all of it. "in the catholic church we arent forced to go everysunday." "...i believe in God and he is always with me."  "... i dont have to have a church to pray to God and worship him"

its super sad. but we arent giving up. we will not receive results until after the trail of our faith.  the lords wants to bless me but i can tell if he is trying to teach me something or if im not worthy of his blessings. i feel like potters clay or a puzzle all these things are happening but i dont understand why or i cant see what he is doing yet. or im just being hard and im not doing what the lord wants me to do.

im starting to read the new testiment and jesus the christ. every morning to learn more about him and to know his will. 

i thank you all so much for your prayers and concerns!

i love the work, and iwill fight and work until i baptise everyone here!

changes are next week :/ who knows where ill be going.

the card you can send it to the mtc i think and they send a pouch to the mission and its super safe you can call the mtc to see if you could do that.

i love you all a ton.
