Email to Family and Friends
This week was great! We have been doing so much good work! We are finding the definition of elect investigators! We have a whole family, another who is on date for the 18th and another who when we left her the Book of Mormon to read, could not put it down! The work is booming here!
We go on so many exchanges here. I feel 40% of our time and energy is spent comforting and encouraging the Elders here in the Zone. A lot of them are in the midst of their own refiners fires to prepare them for what is to come for them. It is not easy for them, and I am thankful to God for the opportunity he has given to serve and love these Elders in the moment of their troubles
It was a crazy week! We had some cool service! We watched a Picasso painting get actioned off for $65,000 during our service. One of the Elders in our Zone is on a mini mission from Idaho Falls and he got his mission call this week to Alabama. He is pretty exited! It's been a great week!
"Love"
The thing which I desire most in my life is peace and love. There is such joy from these qualities. President Monson once said "Brethren, we do not honor the priesthood of God if we are not kind to others. My dear friend and associate Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin was truly a kind man. Said he:
“Kindness is the essence of a celestial life. Kindness is how a Christlike person treats others. Kindness should permeate all of our words and actions at work, at school, at church, and especially in our homes. Jesus, our Savior, was the epitome of kindness and compassion.” (1)
Kindness, gentleness, compassion, may these rule our day. I beg of you, please let these into you life and especially in your home. I know Jesus Christ can lead us by his loving hand into eternal bliss and joy. He is our Savior. I love Him.
