This week flew by. We had a ton of
good lessons with people. All of the investigators we have right now are
amazing people who really want to do what's right and who are seeking
truth in their lives. With Ernie we read in 3 Nephi when Christ visits
the America's and then we also talked about the Plan of Salvation. We
have another investigator named Jack Autry who is super awesome. His
wife is a member so that helps him a ton. This week when we met with him
it was specifically to give him a blessing because he broke a couple
ribs and messed up his shoulder playing football on
Thanksgiving, he is 76 and is probably in better shape than me. Elder Dallin gave a great blessing and during it he told Jack that he would be strengthened to bear his pain and after the blessing Jack looked happier and healthier and he told us that he still felt sore but that he could feel a definite difference. Thanksgiving away from home was different but it was fun to spend it with members of the ward and to feel the love they have for missionaries.

We had a couple lessons with
some less active members of the ward and we shared two really good
Mormon Messages with them, one is called "Hope you know, we had a hard
time" and the other is called "The Will of God". I would encourage
everybody to watch them and to think of somebody who might need to hear
the message of hope in them. I know that through the Atonement, Christ
can strengthen us when our own strength fails and that he will always be
there to carry us through the challenges we will face. I have a
testimony of such and know that through trusting our Heavenly Father as
we endure the trials placed before us we will be able to become stronger
and become who He would have us become, our best selves. I love this
gospel and this area and all the people that I help, they are good and I
need to be with them.
Love,
