Well,
this week was very good. We taught a ton of lessons this week and have
just been blessed like crazy as far as new investigators. One of the
highlights is for sure Kalof. He is just on fire and has been changed by
the Book of Mormon. He wasn't able to make it to church this last week
because he got up and ready to go and his daughter had taken the car. He
was very upset he couldn't go. It was a pretty cool moment with him last
night when he asked when we were coming back after our missions and he
was all hopefully after like five or so years. And then I said back to
him yup I'll come back and I better see you in the church and he goes
back, oh don't you worry you'll see me sitting in the church...with my
wife with me. It made me so happy. It's been so fun to see him change
and just be so willing to do whatever he can do. We have this one
investigator who we have taught 3 times and has read all the way to 2
Nephi 9!! He's reading like crazy! It's so fun to teach him. The
scripture for the week is Helaman 15:4. I love this scripture because it
brings the quote alive "The Lord is more concerned about where you are
now and what you are becoming than where you were" It's so true.
Everyone has a certain potential and the Lord knows that potential.
Samuel was a Lamanite and his purpose for his change was to change
others. What's important to know is that God gives us credit for trying.
I know that He loves us and is proud of our efforts to follow His son. I
know that change is a daily en devour and I invite you all to examine
how well you all keep your baptismal covenant and is you are really
keeping allllll the commandments. It's a hard question but i know that
as we strive to keep those commandments better I know it will play a
huge role is the happiness of everyone who has taken upon the name of
Christ and even those who have not yet. Let your light so shine and be
an example to those around you, because you do stick out and you are
watched. Anyways that's all from me. I hope ya'll have a good week!
