WOW! ITS BEEN 3 WEEKS SINCE IVE WRITTEN. SO SORRY. THESE PAST WEEK HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY MIRACLOUS!! I just want to start by saying how grateful I am to be a missionary for my Savior, Jesus Christ! Set apart from the world. With the Authority and the ability to exercise His Power!
Brief Update! We had transfers and I'm staying with Elder Calhoun!! LETS GOOO!! ☆ MIRACLES:
- 2 weeks ago we had 14 people at church. We had set goals and really prayed and fasted for these people to come and THEY DID!! God is soo Good!! We were happy we signaled to Him that we were here to do all we could.
- Antwain and Marcy: Ahhh their progressing so well. They read everyday. They watch videos of the Restoration and the gospel everyday too. They are referring people everywhere haha, such great missionaries and they aren't members yet. We are shooting for the end of June beginning of July just because of a logistical thing they have. They are so excited!! I will be gone from the area but will be able to come back.
- Leo has a date hopefully being set on June 4th. We are excited for her. We had a bomb lesson yesterday at church church 5 young women. She felt loved and included.
- We met this guy named Tommy. He is a believer but loved what we taught and started to cry. He wants to come to church and join us.
- CRAZY STORY. Ivan!! Yesterday we prayed for and covenanted with the Father to act on impressions we recieve from him. He gave us one yesterday as we were getting our friends to church. We saw a Phone. We grabbed it and started charging it while we were at church with our friends. Came back after and called the only number we saw that called it. We went to the house to give it back. These girls left, Ivan was laying on the couch. He apparently got messed up last night. He said it was a miracle we had his phone and that we'd even give it back. He cried and talked about his rough life. We taught him the Whole Restoration and taught him about church and baptism. He is so ready to change! It was remarkable to see. We are teaching him tonight!!
We have been working ALOT WITH MEMBERS!! Each member and family have their own story. I can't write them all in here mainly because I already wrote them in my journal but 🤣. There is a specific family that has been reactivated. He is the Ward Mission Leader now. They are now entering the temple this Saturday to prepare prepare get married in a couple weeks. We were invited. Now cool story. She is a convert of 6 years. The missionaries that taught her and baptized her, their first names were
- Cody and Nathan. She decided to look at our first names on LDS tools. She was brought to tears and told us she is so grateful. We gave her a huge hug. We are so excited for this weekend.
The Members in the Winder Ward are becoming stronger and closer. They are ready to be missionaries! It's AMAZING to see the change that occurs as we focus on Christ and turn outward like He does!!
We have had many people come to church from members inviting their friends!! We started to teach a couple of them. I testify that ghe Field is White, Already to harvest!! Please join us in this work of "Scattering Sunshine" In small ways. By loving and including. By sharing anf inviting. I promise that if you are cleaning the inner vessel and striving to be Obedient and increasing your Faith everyday you will experience more Joy. Joy that will scatter to those you interact with. These interactions and the person you are becoming will allow for the miracles to occur for both yourself and for people around you that need help and that need to be brought back to our Heavenly Fathers Home.
I'm very grateful for these past weeks to give of my whole self. To consecrate my efforts to be a servant to the Lord of the Vineyard! I'm the MOST JOYOUS I've ever been in my whole entire life!! 😁😁 That is because of my Obedience to the commandments and to the Missiom Standards. That's because I strive everyday to learn and grow! I strive to become who my Heavenly Father needs and pleads for me to be. I hope and I pray that I can continue to be a perfect trier so that one day I can be perfect just like my Brother and Father! I've given this invitation before but, I invite each of you to have an experience with the Book of Mormon everyday. Even if it's a couple lines or if it's reading a chapter. Have an experience that is meaningful to you. Something that is applicable in your life! If you can do i promise you'll see a difference in every aspect of your day. This is God's divine Power being brought into our lives.
I bear you my witness of Jesus Christ! I know He lives!! I know He loves you and me individually and perfectly. I know we have Heavenly Parents who know us by name. Who know our needs. Who knows our trials and challenges. I know Heavenly Father Loves us so much that He truly has given us His Son to Strengthen and Help us in this mortal life. I know we've been given His Spirit to protect, guide, love, and teach us. I know that it is through our Eternal Father, through Jesus Christ, and through The Holy Ghost that we can live a celestial Glory and become perfect just like Heavenly Father. I tesfity of The Book of Mormon, of its truth and divinity! The Book of Mormon coupled with the Bible give us the Fullness and ghe Everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ! It has the plain and precious truths. It truly is the Iron Rod back to God. As we follow the gospel and read everyday we will grow grace by grace, line upon line, and precept upon precept. I close with the power of Obedience! Obedience is the 1st Law of Heaven! It's the 1st law of EVERYTHING! I know that when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated." God is a giver of all Great Gifts, if we are Obedient, Worthy, Faithful, and diligent. I love this Work! I love the gift that we call life that He has given us. I know that my purpose on this Earth is to fulfill my Fathers Purpose. "To bring to pass the immortality and Eternal Life of Man"
Let us all help Fulfill His work and His Glory! Let us strive to Scatter Sunshine!! Focus on Obedience and ways we can change. Focus in increasing your Faith!!
YOU WILL FIND JOY!!
YOU WILL SEE MIRACLES!!
YOU WILL BECOME MORE CELESTIAL!!
Love,
Elder Wold
