We had
interviews this week with the mission president, which was awesome, as
always. We got some new goals I need to
accomplish by the time we visit again.
Scary. This has been an okay week though. We are still working hard to find those souls
the Lord has prepared. It’s been hard
work. A lot of people out here are
grateful for what we are doing even if they don't believe or want to hear what
we have to share. Other times you meet a
lot of people who just want to argue about The Book Of Mormon being the word of
God. A lot of times I feel like reading
the scripture found in 2 Nephi 3-14 (mainly verse 6) but I don't. It's sad to hear what they say but hopefully
some time down the road when other missionaries come they will change their
minds and listen.
Yeah, that
was basically my week then President Benn sent me some scriptures to read from
Doctrine and Covenants 33. I especially
like verses 16-17 which reads:
17 Wherefore,
be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning,
and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of
the Bridegroom—
18 For
behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that I come quickly. Even so.
Amen.
Yep,
that’s right. The invitation is there
and we all have a work to do, so like President Hinckley said "The gospel
is nothing to be ashamed of. It is something to be proud of. 'Be not thou
therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,' wrote Paul to Timothy (2 Tim. 1:8). Opportunities for sharing the gospel are
everywhere".
So lets
start doing it. Blessings will come but
it's the joy of seeing our fellow brothers and sisters brought back into the
fold that's going to make it all worth it.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
