Hey family and friends,
This week has been really good. My new
district is great. I love them all--good people who want to work hard. Change
is always good. We finally got to watch Conference. Probably my favorite talk
was Elder Uchtdorf’s when he talked about receiving a testimony. I loved when
he talked about space and how once people assumed that beyond the Milky Way,
there was nothing. And then with more
powerful telescopes, we learned that this wasn’t true—the heavens were filled
with so many galaxies. That analogy blew my mind. I loved it. No one thought it
was possible until it was done. I loved how he related this to finding light
and truth. I am grateful for prophets and apostles. They are truly called of
God. And what great examples they are of people who have given their lives to
serve the Lord and really try to serve with all their heart, might, mind, and
strength.
Raymond is totally avoiding us. It’s
the worst. I don’t think I have ever really gotten emotional over an
investigator but this is hard! I think its because I know he’s a good guy and
has a really good heart. We won’t give up on him yet!!
We met a new investigator, Steven
Michael! He will be a missionary one day! He is totally prepared. He came to
all of General Conference!!! SUPER SWEET!!!!! Most of the members didn’t even
stay for all of Conference! And Steven Lunguzi--the recent convert--stayed for
ALL of Conference too. These people humble me. They are so devoted. And General
Conference took longer to watch because every talk had to be translated by a
member into Chichewa!
My companion is great. Her family are
all members of the church but her parents are less active. Even with that, she
still came on mission! I am so impressed with people who go on mission with
little or no support. She is a good person!
Well I am grateful to be a missionary.
And I am grateful to know that the Gospel is true. I hope and pray that you all
are trying your hardest to live the Gospel.
Love you!!
