Hey Family
I wanted to give you all my 10 ten list for Georgia So far!
1. Our Mission is baptising like crazy! As of this morning we are at 592! Who We still have Three months left and the rest of this month to reach 1000 and we are well on our way to our mission goal. We are always thanking the lord for these miracles he is allowing us to be apart of.
2. I Love the people! it make me so sad some times to see people with so much potentual be so discouraged. I honestly believe that these people are not just lazy. The people don't live in poverty they live it a state of depression. The adversary has thrown filth and grime into there lives so much that they are just depressed. To those who hear this glad message of the gospel they question it because of all the lies and false doctrine they have heard before. But we are wining there hearts! They are finding God in their lives. One thing i push as a missionaries is teaching people how to pray and to pray often. One of the greatest blessing the gospel brings this people is the feelings of peace and joy even during hard times. Every day we lift peoples heads a little higer!
3. Everyone loves us to. Members and others are always woried about where we are going every day. Well I say to you don't worry about it. We are on the lords errand even if something happened and I died all see you all in heaven. But you see noting will happen. The people do love us. There dogs don't but if the people didnt love us they wouldn't call them of now would they? Actually most of the dogs are really friendly there just a few that have killed my reputation of them.
4. Ward Members! They are wonderful. Remember Every member a Missionary...That includes any one who is reading this. Member are the better way to missionary work. Brother Eddings are ward mission leader is a recent convert to the church of about three years. He and his wife where able to make it to the Temple to be sealed this last week which is wonderful. He is now a wonderful strength to the ward and a perfect example of how members can reach out to those they know. Think about who you all know...any one in need of the greatest thing on this earth?-The Restored Church Of our Savior Jesus Christ that holds the Priesthood power of God. Ah you just never know who will accept the gospel but you will never know if you don't try.
5. Ward Members! Haha! I know they are just to good not to mention twice! We have another fabulous ward member named Brother Travis King. Oh how i love Brother King. He calls us up asking how many nights a week he can take us to some of his non member friends houses. its great!
6. Ha! Squirrels! They are hilarious. If you all want to know why this is so funny to me ask my friend Collin Jenson. But know that they are every where and they remind me of some childhood games we had.
7. We bike everywhere. Its great. there has been a reputation going around from some of the missionaries that if you dont have lose pants when you start the mission you will need new pants before you go home. I am all good with my pants thought and i am going to have to say thank you to my mother again for he sending me out my bikeing slacks. We sweat so much that we have to wash them all the time and that would have killed my suit pants.
8. Oh you can buy Eggs out here by the FIVE DOSSEN! And For Really Cheep! Its Great!
9. My Companyon. I have loved all my companyons but i am sure that i will miss this one alot. Elder Johansen goes home at the end of this transfer. He should be atending Snow College this winter semester. Because of that and where he lives in Spring City i am sure we will see each other again.
10. Pastors and Jehova Witnesses. They are great. well we got to love em the are good people and one day they will get it.
Well love you all i got to run.
