I was blessed to have an awesome week. I
had so many opportunities to serve and to love. The weather here is
really cold haha. It's been down to the 40's but we have been handling
it well. And my companion is doing awesome as well.
Sometimes being open and upfront with someone is just what they need. He
is a really good kid and loves to learn how to do missionary work. And I
love working with him. And I give him a lot of crap haha. I can't do it
to no one else... Damitu isn't here haha.
We have been blessed with so many
people to teach and I can't be thankful enough. We have been working
with Melissa and nakia they are both in their 20's and love the gospel
already. They are both working very hard to meet
the requirements for baptizims. They even remember there dates and
everything and we haven't had any problems with them not keeping
commitments. They came to church yesterday and they loved it. The
members just took them in made them feel so welcomed. Everyone
was so out going. They had a lot of questions answered and felt the
spirit as well. It sure made my week 😊
Joe,sherry~ these two are couples we
have Been working with and they both are awesome as well. We had to move
their babtizmal dates because they weren't able to make it to church.
Because of some kind of sickness they had.
But they are working hard to overcome there habits of smoking and trying
to get married so they can get baptized. I feel very fortunate and so
blessed to be able to work with such amazing people.
Naja,Norien~ are two brothers we have
been working with as well. They are part member family as well. Their
mother is a less active and has been for along time due to work. But she
has been trying to come to church as well.
Naja is 15 years old and Norien is 16. And she wants them both to take
the lessons and get baptized so have been working with them as well.
They are both exited to get baptized as well. I'm super exited to see
them get baptized and make the covenant that's
going to Bering them closer to their Heavenly Father.
Chris~ is a very humble man that's so
willing to change who he is, and just his whole life. He had a drinking
problem for over 5 years and since we have been working with him he has
quit drinking for about 20 days now. He has
been reading the Book of Mormon a lot and trying to find an answer so he
can get get baptized as well. It's truly remarkable how you can put
these gospel in anyone's life and it can work for them. And if it
doesn't they must be doing something wrong.
Josh sweazy~ is a man who has been
looking for a change for a long time. He has a concern for the longest
time. that God doesn't answer his prayers or that maybe he just doesn't
exist. He doesn't know if the bible is true or
any church for that matter. But we taught him the first lesson and he
was in tears. We were blessed enough to answer his question, concerns
and Addressed his needs. I'm so thankful.
Anyways those are some of my biggest
highlights of my week. I get humbled everyday and I feel my saviors hand
in my life so much and I'm so great full. I hope everyone of you is
really thinking about what the savior has done
for you and how the atonement applies to each of you. It's my favorite
time of the year and there is not even any snow here haha. We still have
green grass and it blows my mind haha.
And I was just being funny!! To be
completely honest.. Going and getting Christmas trees with you and
working at the store with dad was some my fondest memories. I wouldn't
trade those for anything. It wasn't the thanksgiving
dinner that I missed this year but going and getting a tree and I even
told my companion about it haha. I always sounded like I didn't want to
go but I always ended up loving it.
Yes you can send it too the members home. 1603 Knob Hill Rd
Elizabethtown, Kentucky 42701-9175 and
their names are Byrnes, LeGrande Richard & Stephanie Thea. He is my
ward mission leader and I will be calling you from his home on Christmas
as well. Haha it's so wired how fast time goes by.
I prepared something you and or even the hill family can do together.
It's about the Book of Mormon. I highlighted couple things and took a
picture of it so you can use that. And I got some scriptures you can
read as well at the end of introducing the Book
of Mormon then use the scriptures. Moroni 10:32-33
Commitment~ read the Book of Mormon, ponder in your hearts the message it contains. Then ask God if the Book of Mormon is true.
Let me know how it goes. I will share the
pictures with you. I promise you these will change the way you view the
Book of Mormon. It's truly remarkable. I love it. I just finished it
again and I started again today. It's my life
haha. I love you and I hope you have the best week of your life💙
Gospel love.
Elder haws🚴🏿💙
