Well - obviously I'm going to talk about Mother's Day.

Monday, May 12, 2014

Everyone,

Yeah, in case y'all weren't aware, this last Sunday was Mother's Day. It is a time of rejoicing for all missionaries cause we get to call/Skype home and see our families' smiling faces. It helps us to remember why we are out here and exactly what the Gospel is all about: being with our families and feeling loved in this world. So already my sounds better than last week, huh?

We also had President interviews on Thursday. It is always fun to sit down with him and just talk. With almost 250 missionaries in the mission it sometimes feels like you get lost in the shuffle. But when you sit down with President Wilson and he is able to continue your conversation from last time, it really makes one feel loved. 

So those were the really big things this week, we also are going to have an investigator with a baptismal date this week if all goes well. She is definitely one of those people spoken of in Doctrine and Covenants 123 which says, "For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations...who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it." And what are we supposed to do? "...we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them; and they are truly manifest from heaven...Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed."

I apologize that this is so short, but there really isn't much else to tell. Hope you all have an excellent week, I love you, and until next time,
