NO transfer for me or Elder Morton.
That
means I will fully train Elder Morton. I have a ward member back home
whose coming to this mission. He comes into the mission the time that I
will finish training Elder Morton!!! I see the odds stacking in my
favor, let's just hope the LORD thinks so too!
Well, anyways, this was a pretty good week. We were
able to teach about 16 lessons! This week we have the truck so, we will
setup more appointments to go teach a lesson with members that live a
little further away from where we live. Speaking of which, in sunday at
Priesthood opening exercises. One of the Bishopric announced housing the
missionaries. If anyone was available or would want to have the
missionaries stay at their house. Elder Morton and I are like, "Huh?"
"Guess, we outstayed our welcome." I called the mission office yesterday
to make sure they knew, they didn't. But, the ward is probably
concerned, because when missionaries stay with a member for about 2ish
years that is when the missionaries tend to not live in that particular
members house.
Well, lets see. I'm almost done with 2 Nephi!!!! Gosh, I feel like I
really have nothing to write. All is well, now that I think about it,
my reading today or yesterday in 2 Nephi says that those who say "all is
well in zion" are being cheated my the Devil and he will carefully lead
them down to hell. I hope by saying that, I don't worry any of you.
In my reading, WHich has been for the most part the
Isaiah chapters of 2 Nephi and chapters 25-30. Those chapters are the
ones that I love the most about that book. Chapter 29 about how people
will say that they don't need another Bible and goes into all this
detail about how the Lord reveals his word more than just once. Chapters
25-26 and 28 are good ones about how wicked and evil things will
continue to happen and perpetuate in the last days. Then chapter 27 of 2
Nephi is the Isaiah chapter which is chapter 29. Which is the prophecy
about Olivery Cowdery or Martin Harris taking a parchment with the
characters from the Gold plates from the Book of Mormon. He saying that
he cannot read a sealed book and he says they are accurate characters.
Except in this one it is more indepth and more clear than the Isaiah
chapter. As I've mentioned many times, I truly am thankful for the Book
of Mormon. It truly does testify of Jesus Christ and just adds my
testimony of the Bible. It is here to strengthen our understanding of
what God has already revealed to us. The Book of Mormon is the keystone
of our relgion and helps keep everything in place. I encourage everyone
to continue to read the Book of Mormon. I'm evergrateful for the Book of
Mormon. I can hold a Book of Mormon in my hand confidently wherever I
go, and whoever I talk with I can confidently do that. I leave these
with you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
P.S I've sent out the 6 month letters to everyone I had
addresses to. You will receive an activity/scavenger hunt whatever you
want to call it. YOU will need to do some coordination, but it will be
fun and rewarding. When everything is done I will send the final piece
of the activity. Thanks, love you much!!!
