September 19, 2011

I`ve been feeling like I`m stuck in rut lately,and a little distanced from my Heavenly Father, just kind of going through the motions. But, my interview with Pres. Reeves helped a little. I don`t know why I get like this sometimes. Thanks, Mom, for that quote you sent me by Jefferey R. Holland. It was just what I needed.


Patricia is doing great. This saturday she was the only one to show up to clean the chapel and on sunday, she was finally able to convince her 3 year old boy to stay in the nursery while she was in the gospel principles class. That made me very happy. Unfortunately, none of our investigators showed up to church this sunday. However, a family of four that lives in our area went to the ward of an elder in my district. He said that they are totally ready and was pretty jealous that they were in my area. I`m not sure if I told you, but now all the companionships in the mission have cell phones, not just the leaders. It sure makes things a lot easier on me as a district leader.


While were knocking some doors this week. One lady opened up and I told her about the plan of salvation and how we can become like God. It was interesting because she absolutely rejected the idea that we could become like God. She just couldn`t accept. It seemed impossible to her. I don`t think I had appreciated the greatness of that simple truth before. I can`t think of any other religion that professes that. I have to admit to me it sometimes seems impossible too, but it makes sense based on my knowledge of the plan of salvation and the atonement.


One thing in which I find joy almost everyday here are the beautiful sunsets behind the volcano. They`re just gorgeous.


Well, gotta go to an appointment. Love you,
