Friends and family,
Well I'm super excited to be with a new companion. My
last companion and I were complete opposites so we clashed a lot. We still got
along and did work, but it was rough. This new companion and I agree on lots of
things and work together well. We will have many new stories from the new level
of work we will be doing from raising our bar!
We had one progressing investigator and when we came in
he said this will be our last meeting together. We asked him why and he said he
likes his church and doesn't want to change. We explained we aren't trying to
push anyone anywhere and only want to add to what people have. We read parts of
Mosiah 3 and talked about the restoration again. He then committed to read from
and pray about the what? You guessed it! The Book of Mormon! And we also
scheduled another meeting with him (refer to the statement above about this
being our last meeting). Miracles happen my friends!!
So, my favorite attribute is charity/love. My math
teacher from freshman and sophomore year sent an awesome email about her
thoughts on this and I completely agree with her! I think this attribute is the
most important (it says it's the most important in the scriptures too) but it
really is! If you're full of love toward God first and everyone else second and
THEN yourself, you'll always be happier because you're focusing OUT and not IN!
Anyway, this week's challenge: send me your favorite New
Testament scripture! Tell me what it is and why you love it!
