WHATS UP EVERYONE!! THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING! IT WAS THAT WAY BECAUSE OF THE THINGS OUR TRIO DID!! so last p day which was last Monday we talked for hours that night! We all had come to the conclusion that yes we were having success but we could have even more! So we committed ourselves to EXACT OBEDIENCE! we decided to make goals and plans to make sure that we do every little detail our mission President has told us to do! We became accountable for each other and we decide that we were all gonna sacrifce the little things!! So we did no matter what it was we changed it and sacrificed everything to Christ! We then had our final thing to be WORK!! so we put our head down this week and WORKED!!!!
MIRACLES!!! Friends! I cant even explain it!! We were so blessed! I know that as we submit ourself to the Lord and sacrifce ourselves and work! We will be guided to people that we can LOVE, TEACH, AND INVITE!! the main thing I've realized this week is FORGETTING MYSELF! and FORGETTING OURSELVES AS A TRIO! and just give pure LOVE to everyone!! Which brings me to this week!
We got a referral that monday night! He has been taught everything ang is ready to be baptized!! HES GETTING BAPTIZED THIS SATURDAY!! his name is Wayne! And he is super cool and soooo ready to be baptized!! That is one of many miracles! The next is Jeannette the one weve been teaching! We have been praying about her and it feels right to set a date for her to be baptized!! She has been so open to learning and truly has committed herself to the gospel!! We then met with a man named Andy! We found him on facebook! He is a Christian and is very involved in local community! So he invited us over and we talked for 2 HOURS!! it was amazing and he is open to learning! He said my church is good but I'm not sure about many things! So this week we are teaching him, The Restoration! He said he knew some "mormons" and loves them and loves there character and said they are the most amazing people and he was happy we talked to him and wants to learn more because he doesn't think the church he goes too is good! So were so excited to teach him more!! We had member dinners everyday this week where we set up family mission plans! And everyone is doing amazing! :) this is the first step to making a difference! We know it'll bring so many opportunities for missionaries and the members to gather Israel!! We did service for a man named Lefty, Kathleen, and this week we have two other ones and everyone we already met wants us back and they asked about who we are, and they said what we do is amazing and they want to hear about what we believe so this is a great opportunity!! That sums about about everything!! I do want to share some things I learned!! I've been able to scuba dive into The Book of Mormon and also just in my studying in general and that's been a miracle because I've grown my testimony and I've gained deeper knowledge of principles and of The Book of Mormon!! I am about to finish and I'm excited to pray about it again!! I know the Book of Mormon is true!! It means everything to me! I'm grateful for the sacrifce of our Savior Jesus Christ!! Because of Him we can change and become better and become who God wants us to be and live with him again!
So this week in district council! We had a good question on "how can I constantly use the Saviors Atonement to progress?" I loved this question! I learned alot and I want to hear your thought as well! We read this talked its called, "Pathways to Perfection" April 2002! - President Monson
ITS OUTSTANDING!! Some things that stood out were how we cant ever stop improving ot using the atonement its gotta be daily! We talks about the Chesire cat in Alice in wonderland and I love how much he uses this example in all his talks! He speaks on how Alice didnt know where to go so the path didnt matter but...m We know where we wanna go! We know the path! So we need to choose now!!!! there's 4 points in the talk and I want you all to go read it and find which one is meaningful to you and apply it to your lives and make a difference the 4 are!
1.An attitude of gratitude
2.A longing for learning
3.A devotion to discipline
4.A willingness to work
These are each incredible and we need to work and improve on all but it's good to take it slow and pick one!! I like this quote
"We must be true to our ideals, for ideals are like the stars: you can’t touch them with your hands, but by following them you reach your destination"
We need to choose now what our destination is and what we can work on to get there!! SO IMPORTANT!! each of us should have those spiritual goals! And I challenge you to make those and decide what you will do everyday to achieve them! With goals in mind you can learn, discipline yourself, and work towards it and finally give that gratitude throughout the whole process! I believe in everyone!! We can accomplish and do what God needs us to do! Trust Him, Follow Him! I was reading in Ether this past week and let me tell you! Christ truly can show himself to us in ways maybe not like the brother of Jared but in other ways if we believe and have exceedingly great Faith in him! The other is that God gives us weaknesses so that we can improve! And become humble and meek and use him and rely on him to build us up and become stronger! This is all a test and an experience here!! So let's learn/prepare and let's act/change!! I'm grateful for everyone of you! I'm especially grateful for my family and their love and support each week! There's nothing better then doing come follow me in the morning with my family! I encourage you all to stick close to family and friends and testify to each other and leanr from each other! I love you all SO MUCH!! I LOVE BEING ABLE TO SERVE AND I KNOW YOU CAN SERVE BACK HOME AS WELL!! BE JOYFUL AND LOVING THIS WEEK!! :)
LOVE,
Elder Wold <3
