Email to Family and Friends

Well the work has never been as good as it is now! We are seeing success left and right. God has been blessing us so much! We see literal miracles everyday! All of the members here are out teaching their friends and the work is just exploding up here in Kalispell! We had 5 investigators at church yesterday which was probably the most they have had here in the last 4-5 months at least.

Haha we got 14 inches of snow this week, my new profile picture right now is our backyard haha that is like15 yards from my window :) Absolutely beautiful!

"Wolves"

One of my favorite stories of the Native people, is a story of a grandson talking to his grandpa. The child says to his wise grandfather, "Papa, I feel like there is two wolfs fighting inside of me, one is white the other is black, what is this?", "My son, one is good and the other is evil", "Papa, who will win?" said the child. "Which ever one you feed more"

In the Book of Alma, Mormon is wrapping up telling us a story of war and he says, "And in one year were thousands and tens of thousands of souls sent to the eternal world, that they might reap their rewards according to their works, whether they were good or whether they were bad, to reap eternal happiness or eternal misery, according to the spirit which they listed to obey, whether it be a good spirit or a bad one. For every man receiveth wages of him whom he listeth to obey, and this according to the words of the spirit of prophecy; therefore let it be according to the truth." (1)

This is the battle of life, it will never end so long as we are in this mortal body. Jehovah once said "And we will prove them [us here, right now] herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them;" Then he gave this great promise "and they who keep their second estate [or in other words, feed the light wolf] shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever." (2)

We are made to win this war, we have the strength of the Almighty God though the power and glory of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. All he asks is that we trust in him, rely on him, and follow him. As we do so the light with in us will grow brighter and brighter tell the darkness has no place within our soul. I pray that each of us can do this, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
