Well I was thinking for a moment, "Wow, I'm not sure what to write about
because I don't remember doing a whole lot this week or what happened. I realized that it was because I got sick this week and had to stay
in the house for a couple days and then we had conference. Our Mission President
makes us watch conference because he says that he does not want the
following scene to happen, because it has in the past.
(bad
missionary) Hello we are here to talk to you about how God has come
down to earth with his son and called a prophet. and how God has newly
blessed us with prophets and apostles.
(investigador) you are telling me that there is a prophet in our days?
(b m) Yes
(i) And he is in your church?
(b m) Yes that is what we know to be true and what we teach
(i) Wow that is amazing! What is the last thing that your prophet said to you?
(b m) Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
(i) Oh, so the man you say is a prophet must not be that important if you don't take the time to listen to him
That
would be a little embarassing. So we have to know what the prophets
says especially since that is one of the greatest differences between us
and other churches is that we have prophets.
But
yah. I was pretty sick for a few days so I did not do a whole lot. I
am not sure what it was maybe the water, or the misquitos, or a bad
fish that someone gave me . . . but its all good because I feel fine
now.
We
are working with this girl named Shirly (who is a recent convert) to
baptize her mother. So things are going really well with that. She is
attending church and reading the Book of Mormon and she attended
conference with us. So things are looking really good. Her baptismal
date is October 25th. We have a famliy home evening with her and
another family of recent converts tonight! I am not sure what we are
going to teach yet but whatever it is its going to be super spiritual
and powerful. A spirtual roundhouse kick to the face the will leave you and
your mother weeping . . . that is the goal! (parental comment - interesting metaphor, and graphic)
I have been studying the life of Alma the younger and what kind of
missionary he was. My goal is to become a missionary like him. He was a
powerhouse. I made a
list of his missionary attributes and where they can be found in the
scriptures . . . but alas . . . I forgot the list. So maybe next week I will
send it, idk.
By the way James. I saw your youtube videos of your comics that you drew I thought they
were pretty funny. But you should take a 2 year break from drawing
comics and attend to the other more important things that you have to
do. You should fulfill your duty to the Lord.
Matt
6:33 'Look first for the kingdom of God and all other things will be
added to you'. If you go on a mission first and then focus on the other
things the Lord will bless you with more éxito then if you had never
gone on a mission and had stayed at home doing whatever it is that you
do.
Love, Luke
