Im having such a great time here in my mission. Im so grateful to get up everyday and preach this glad message. Im so blessed with so many things it is hard to express it. I know that God exists and that he loves us. WE ARE HIS CHILDREN. It is a little hard to realize in this mortal life but as we read the scriptures and pray it all makes sense. Jesus Christ lives and is the head of the Church. It is his and he leads it is guided by a prophet how hears him and who recieves much needed knowledge. Even as it goes down the organization to our Bishops and members it is perfect. God is not a dead God that lives through the Bible but he talks with men today. He has sent his powers gifts, and priesthood to worthy men today to do his will. I now know really why were here on Earth and I invite all of you to look for the anwsers too. This week has been great. We are teaching so amazing families. This week we had a mix of things that happened to them. ONe familiy had a new baby boy, another seperated from her husband, another is getting married this next week. Many things have happened and I know that this week we will recieve more blessings. I remember one day we probably had one of the worst days together, it seemed as everything went wrong, so we stuck with it adn prayed hard. The next day we had an excellente day and did much to further the work. We are also teaching a great man. He is a little crosseyed man that has a huge heart. He is 45 adn lives alone. He never had a wife and always lived with his mother to look out for her. But sadley she passed away about 4 years ago. He loves the message though. He is read much in the Book Of Mormon and loves it. We reads and tells us exactly what happend. He has also given up drinking and coffee to fulfill woth the Word of Wisdom. We will put a baptismal date with him this week. We are working really hard trying to build up this ward. We are very close to the ward and are making corrections and changing the way we do things in the ward. We have schuduled visits with members everyday this week to visit investigators. It is amazing the disposition of the memebers to help in the work. We are not only going out with the leaders of the wards but also we are going out with the people who need a little help. Doing that with really help edify the church at its roots. We are also doing little 1 or 2 minute visits with active and less active members. We hope to get them excited about being members and remind them of what great blessings they have. I love this work so much. I hope I can become a great missionary as teh ones in the scriptures. Sure I wont do as much as them but I know that I have tried my best. I love my opportunity I have been given to be a representative of Jesus Christ. He is why we live. He is why we live the way we do. AS we living in this world we are not of it. I hope YOu all have great week adn that you all can always have huge smiles and love life.
