WOW. It's november again, and i just passed my 6th fast sunday in this area and transfers are next tuesday. I dont feel like im gonna get transfered, but ya never know. I have knocked at least 90 percent of the doors in this area, ans im pretty sure everyone recognizes me as the only blue eyed blond haired kid for miles...kilometers. Not to mention that the water in our area is a little high in chlorine so that just makes me all that more blond... But i love this area, its been something really special to me and if im here for a little longer it wouldn't bug me. It would be a little boring, but its better than the possibility of going to another area that isn't as fun as here. SO this week in my studies i have decided I really need to work on the faith region of my spiritual muscle group. SUre i work and i do what i can to be obediente and diligent, but faith without works is dead and works without faith can be in vain. SO i really dont want that so im working on implementing a lot more faith in my life. First by supplementing myself with faith boosts by reading and studying more about faith and then just building myself of more and not spend so much time for things to improve on or that im not good in and focus on what i do do right and what i do do good. Its going to take a lot of mental control but i can do it!
So the area is alright, there isn't a whole lot going on, this week we have been contacting and knocking ALOT, but with little immediate results, i know nothing we do as missionaries is in vain, but it does get tiring without immediate results. BUt at least im growing and making progress, and i know a lot of miracles are going to be happening really soon. BUt all of our investigators are the same and the are in the same situations. We are just waiting for them all to take the initiative to progress and go forward. It will come soon as they continue to look for the light and find God and feel the increase of peace and happiness in their lives ad they repent and come to the true gospel.
This week one of our investigators gave us a fun experience, she has a father who was form the 7th day worshiper church and a mother form jehova witnesses, so she thinks she knows the bible but obviously doesn't know anything. SHe was trying to show us way we are not a true church, mostly because of the plan of salvation, she obviously didn't understand it. and saying we are wrong because we teach false doctrine and all that basuda. Elder Peña and me started to get a little frustrated, but with questions we shut her up good and helped her see the flaws in her on understanding. I dont think we are going to go back there but we left leaving her strong testimonies about the book of mormon and an invitation to church. It was a good day to bring my bible thats for sure...
Family, thanks for the letters, to feel the support of you guys fills in a huge void that I sometimes feel out here. So thank you Paige, Sophia, Grandma Nelson and Katie and everyone that helps me feel loved. It does a lot more than you can imagine. I love you all and i know i couldn't make a single step out here without all of your help to me so thanks for everything you guys give me and your support. I couldn't do a think without you guys. Have a great week and make good choices!
