This week has been a great week of wonderful little
blessings. We have been able to start getting our teaching pool back up and we
have been inviting people left and right to follow Christ and his example and
become a member of his church. Of course it wasn't easy. because we are talking
to and teaching College students. I know for sure that I was not the most
religious College student when I was in school... but with a little help from
friends and members it became a lot easier.
This week we have also been having a lot of training from
our District Leader in the issue of Missionaries and Members. Luckily for us,
we have no problem with working with our members!
The spirit of sharing the gospel has exploded here, the ward
missionaries are contacting Less Active members and setting up appointments for
us and them to meet, to be able to have a gospel discussion. and the work of
the rescue is lighting so many fires down here! I have not seen so many people
with such a sincere desire to find those that are lost.
This fire most definitely keeps the missionaries very busy
(perhaps that is why we have 3 sets of missionaries in our ward) The city of
Manhattan has a lot of miracles coming out of the woodwork and a lot of it is a
blessing from the members. There are so many families that center their family
around the gospel and around sharing it with others, we share the video
"I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go" with a lot of members who recognize
that the things they do, no matter how small, make a huge impact on the lives
of those around them.
As I learned in church this Sunday, is that missionaries are
like hunters, we may know how to go hunting but we are always in unfamiliar territory, we are not familiar
with the land as well as the members, who are like the guides who take the
hunters out to the good land where there is much to be had. where we can obtain
all manner of good things. but without communication between the two the
hunters and the guides, there will not be much success. when we work together
we will have a harvest that will be great in the eyes of the Lord.
I love you all!
